Important Dates

All deadlines are calculated at 11:59pm (UTC/GMT −11 hours)

Submissions

Submissions should describe original, unpublished work. Papers presented at EMNLP should mainly contain new material that has not been presented at any other meeting with publicly available proceedings. Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must disclose this information at submission time. Please list all other meetings where the paper has been submitted in the "other submissions" field on the submission site (and see below for details of the multiple submission policy).

Each long paper submission consists of a paper of up to nine (9) pages of content and any number of additional pages containing references only, together with optional supplementary material as described below.

EMNLP 2014 also solicits short papers. Characteristics of short papers include:

Each short paper submission consists of a paper of up to four (4) pages of content and 2 pages of additional pages containing references only, together with optional supplementary material as described below. Each short paper submission will be reviewed by at least two program committee members.

For both long and short submissions, accepted papers will be presented orally or as a poster (at the discretion of the program chairs). There will be no distinction in the proceedings between papers presented orally or as posters.

Both long and short papers should follow the two-column format of ACL 2014 proceedings. Please use the official ACL 2014 style files for the paper and ensure that your paper setting is A4 size (if using Latex, change \documentclass[11pt]{article} to \documentclass[11pt|a4paper]{article} ). We reserve the right to reject submissions if the paper does not conform to these styles, including letter size and font size restrictions.

As reviewing will be blind, the submission should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., “We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...”, should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as “Smith (1991) previously showed ...”. Submissions that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. Separate author identification information is required as part of the on-line submission process.

The supplementary material should be supplementary (rather than central) to the paper. It may include explanations or details of proofs or derivations that do not fit into the paper, lists of features or feature templates, sample inputs and outputs for a system, pseudo-code or source code, and data. The paper should not rely on the supplementary material: while the paper may refer to and cite the supplementary material and the supplementary material will be available to reviewers, they will not be asked to review or even download the supplementary material.

Submission and reviewing will be on-line, managed by the START system. The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. The supplementary material must be in the form of a single .zip or a .tgz archive file with a maximum size of 10MB; otherwise there are no constraints on its format. Submissions, together with all supplementary material, must be uploaded to the START system by the submission deadlines; submissions submitted after that time will not be reviewed. To minimize network congestion we request authors upload their submissions as early as possible (especially if they contain large supplementary material files).

We are now accepting long and short paper submissions on SoftConf: www.softconf.com/emnlp2014/papers/.

EMNLP multiple submission policy

Implementation of EMNLP multiple submission policy

Authors of papers being submitted both to EMNLP and to other editorial venues (e.g., conferences, journals, workshops) must provide the name of such venues at the submission time: there will be an input box to enter this information in the EMNLP submission form of SoftConf START system.

In case a paper is both accepted to EMNLP and to other venues, the authors must choose to publish or not such paper with EMNLP and comunicate their choice to the EMNLP PC chairs, within one week from the EMNLP acceptance notification. If the authors choose EMNLP they must withdraw the paper from all the other venues, otherwise they must withdraw their paper from EMNLP.
