Description
Authors are required to provide a Portable Document Format (PDF) version
of their papers. The submission must be sent by e-mail to the Doctoral
Consortium address. The proceedings will be printed on US-Letter
paper. Manuscripts must be in two-column format of ACL proceedings
(11pt Times-Roman font). Exceptions to the two-column format include
the title, authors' names and complete addresses, which must be centered at
the top of the first page, and any full-width figures or tables.
For the doctoral consortium, the maximum length of a manuscript is four
(4) pages, printed single-sided. Authors are strongly encouraged to
use the LaTeX style files or MSWord equivalents available on this page --
these formats will ease the transition to the proceedings version.
All illustrations, references, and appendices must be accommodated within
these page limits, observing the formatting instructions given in the
present document. Papers that do not conform to the specified length and
formatting requirements are subject to be rejected without review.
Since recommendation letters and curricula vitae will be considered as
part of the selection process, reviewing of the short papers for the
Doctoral Consortium will not be blind. Authors may therefore include
their names on their short papers.
