Submissions must be electronic only, and should consist of full papers of max. 8 pages (inclusive of references, tables, figures and equations). Authors are strongly encouraged to use the following style files:

eacl2003.sty
MS Word Template (MS Word example)
acl.bst (BibTeX bibliography style file)
Sample LaTeX paper, Sample bibliography, Sample makefile for latex-based build (NO WARRANTY though :))

These formats will ease the transition to the final format, which is essentially equivalent. In no case should the font for the body of the paper be smaller than 11pt, and the dimensions of the text area proper must be 230mm x 160mm (9" by 6.3") or less. Please note: if accepted, the final camera-ready version of the paper must be formatted for A4-sized paper.

Reviewing will be blind. No information identifying the authors should be in the paper: this includes not only the authors' names and affilations, but also self-references that reveal authors' identities; for example, "We have previously shown (Smith 1999)" should be changed to "Smith (1999) has previously shown". For the submission title page, use the assigned ITS number (see Submission on the left for the proper procedure) for author's name, and XXX for affiliation, email etc.
