Guidelines for Formatting Papers for Review
Note: minor revision to style files 6 March 2008 - please download the
latest versions if possible.
This page provides links to style information and templates for Coling 2008
regular, poster and demo papers. All final camera-ready copy will be
required to conform to the format described here, and templates are
provided to make this easy to achieve.
Authors are also encouraged to use this format in their original
submissions for review. However, if you do this, please note the
following points:
- page limits for submission of papers for review may be different from
those specified in these guidelines - authors should check with the relevant
call for papers web page for specific requirements (and submission dates etc.)
- where blind reviewing is specified, authors should omit author names and
affiliations in the title block (we suggest using dummy names and addresses
which take up about the same amount of space as your actual details)
These guidelines may also be used for other kinds of papers (eg workshop
papers). Authors should consult the relevant call for papers web pages for any
specific requirements.
Formatting Guidelines
Authors are strongly recommended to use the style files provided here. All
manuscripts should look like the sample PDF file below, which
also contains the detailed formatting specification.
It is very important to specify A4 format paper, and not to include
page numbers.

Copyright Transfer Agreement on behalf of all authors. Before signing the
form, please confirm with your co-authors (and, if applicable, your and their
employers) that they authorize you to sign on their behalf. It may be advisable to check with your co-authors even at the first
submission stage.
