# Aistats Camera Ready > Use when preparing accepted AISTATS papers for PMLR camera-ready submission, covering the 9-page final body, two-column layout reflow, author de-anonymization, proceedings forms, metadata, final appendix handling, registration, in-person presentation obligations, and public artifact release. - Skill: `thedixitjain/aistats-camera-ready` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds add thedixitjain/aistats-camera-ready` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/thedixitjain/aistats-camera-ready/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Web & Frontend - Author: thedixitjain (https://skillmd.com/u/thedixitjain) - Updated: 2026-09-08 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/thedixitjain/aistats-camera-ready --- # AISTATS Camera Ready Use this after acceptance. Reopen the current AISTATS camera-ready instructions, PMLR author kit, registration page, presentation policy, and OpenReview decision email before advising authors. ## Camera-ready audit - Convert the anonymous submission to the public proceedings version: names, affiliations, acknowledgements, funding, code/data links, and author metadata. - Apply the current final-page limit. AISTATS 2026 allowed a 9-page camera-ready body, excluding references and supplementary material. - Check PMLR formatting, title/abstract metadata, author order, bibliography, appendix placement, and any required release or copyright forms. - Resolve reviewer and meta-review concerns without changing the accepted contribution beyond normal camera-ready clarification. - Prepare public artifacts: repository, data, model checkpoints, environment files, and archival links after anonymity no longer matters. - Confirm registration and presentation obligations. AISTATS 2026 required in-person attendance by at least one author for each accepted paper, with no remote presentation. ## PMLR two-column reflow - AISTATS proceedings use a two-column PMLR layout; switching the style file from anonymous to accepted mode changes spacing, so recheck every page break, figure placement, and table width after the flip. - Wide theorem environments, long display equations, and multi-panel rate plots often need full-width spans; verify nothing is clipped at column boundaries. - Material that fit the submission body can overflow once the author block, acknowledgements, and funding lines are added; the extra camera-ready page usually absorbs this, but confirm rather than assume. - Keep theorem, assumption, and equation numbering identical to the reviewed version so the meta-review and discussion record remain traceable to the final text. ## De-anonymization sweep - Restore the author block, acknowledgements, grants, and any contribution statements the anonymous version stripped. - Rewrite self-citations into natural first-person form where it improves clarity. - Replace anonymized repository placeholders with the public, licensed, citable archive and test every link from a logged-out browser. ## Worked example: integrating a reviewer fix The meta-review asked that a bounded-noise assumption move from the appendix into the main text. Camera-ready move: add the assumption to the theorem statement, one justification sentence, and a pointer to the appendix discussion — without strengthening the result into something the reviewers never evaluated. ## Hedged logistics - Registration pricing, copyright-form mechanics, and exact camera-ready dates change every cycle; confirm against the decision email and the current proceedings instructions. ## Output format ```text [Camera-ready status] Ready / Needs fixes / Blocked [Final package] [Policy checks] [Reviewer-change map] final edit> [Remaining owner] task> ``` --- **Source:** [`brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills`](https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) → `AISTATS-Skills/skills/aistats-camera-ready/SKILL.md`
