Submissions

Submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers.

There will be three categories of papers:

  • Regular papers: their length will be up to 8 pages plus 1 additional page for references or appendices if needed/applicable; in the conference program these papers will have a slot of 25 minutes allocated (20 min presentation + 5 minutes questions and answers)
  • Short papers: their length will be up to 6 pages plus 1 additional page for references or appendices if needed/applicable; in the program these papers will have a slot of 20 minutes (15 min presentation + 5 minutes questions and answers)
  • Poster papers: their length will be up to 4 pages plus 1 additional page for references or appendices if needed/applicable; in the program these will be presented at poster sessions.

All accepted papers will have equal status in the proceedings.

Authors will decide whether their papers are regular, short or posters depending on their length. Authors will also decide to which which area/track they are submitting (the START system will be configured to allow selection of areas).

Paper submissions should follow the two-column format of IJCNLP, conforming to the LaTeX or Microsoft Word style available on the conference website and conforming to the instructions to authors found there. Submissions must be electronic in PDF.
As the reviewing will be blind, the paper must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.

Multiple-submission policy

Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must provide this information at submission time. If IJCNLP 2013 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs by August 5, indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work. IJCNLP 2013 cannot accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published elsewhere.
