brycewang-stanford EACL Camera-Ready
Use this once a paper is accepted at commitment to EACL (main conference or Findings of ACL: EACL). The camera-ready is a short, high-stakes window: for EACL 2027 the ARR notification was November 12, 2026 and camera-ready was due November 26, 2026. Reopen the edition's camera-ready instructions and the ACL Anthology policy pages before finalizing.
Spend the extra page well
- Long and short papers each get one additional content page at camera-ready (up to 9 / 5). Use it to pay down the debts reviewers named: a promised ablation, a clearer error analysis, a fuller multilingual result — not filler.
- The Limitations section stays outside the page budget; expand it if review surfaced new caveats, and keep it honest.
De-anonymize cleanly
| Item | Camera-ready action |
|---|---|
| Author names / affiliations | Add on the title block; confirm order (author list is frozen from commitment) |
| Acknowledgements | Add funding, grants, compute credits |
| "Anonymous prior work" citations | Restore the real citations |
| Repo / dataset links | Point to the public, de-anonymized release |
| PDF metadata | Regenerate so it matches the deanonymized authors |
Remember the commitment rule: author membership cannot change after commitment (order may). Do not add a "forgotten" co-author at camera-ready.
Satisfy the meta-review
- The action editor's meta-review often lists required or expected changes. Treat these as a checklist and make each change visibly; camera-ready is where the acceptance conditions are honored.
- Disclose AI assistance consistent with the Responsible NLP checklist answer you filed — the camera-ready and the checklist must agree.
ACL Anthology metadata
Metadata to get right for the Anthology record:
- Title: correct casing; math/diacritics render (European-language names, é/ø/ł/ş, etc.)
- Authors: full names, correct order, ORCID if requested, affiliations
- Abstract: matches the PDF abstract
- License: CC BY 4.0 (standard for post-2016 *ACL material)
- Venue line: names the correct EACL edition or "Findings ... EACL"
Diacritics and non-ASCII author names are common in the European community — verify they render in the final Anthology entry rather than assuming the PDF is enough.
Registration and presentation
- At least one author must register and present (in person or in the hybrid format the edition offers). Camera-ready acceptance does not substitute for registration.
- Prepare the required presentation format (oral/poster) as assigned; confirm the slot and any video/upload requirement on the edition's program pages.
Public artifact release
- Flip the anonymized ARR supplement into a public release: real repo URL, license, a version tag matching the camera-ready, and a README that reproduces the headline table.
