=Duties of the ACL President=

# ACL Conference, Year N+1 <br />Take initiative in setting up ACL conference for the year after your presidency. This involves setting up the committee (as per the ACL Policy on Joint Conferences), issuing a bid (see Conference Handbook), and setting in motion the process of selecting a Conference and Program Chairs (see Handbook). The process should start at the latest as soon as you assume the presidency, so that the conference and program chairs can be announced at this year's meeting. (The conference is a good place for a meeting of past, current, and next program chair). During the course of the year, the President must interact with the conference chair to ensure that the conference preparations are proceeding smoothly.
# Throughout the year, monitor events and discussions. <br />When issues come to some kind of consensus, ask the Secretary to call a vote, and have the results recorded. Ensure that the results conform with the Constitution.
# ACL Exec Meeting 1 <br />Organize the ACL Executive meeting early in the year of your presidency. This should obviously have been set up earlier. Your tasks are to work with the Secretary to establish list of open issues, create an agenda for the meeting, invite participants, chair the meeting, and see that what has been decided is recorded and, later, acted out.
# ACL Exec Meeting 2 <br />Organize the ACL Executive meeting at the ACL conference the year of your presidency. Your duties are as for the previous meeting, but the meeting now includes additional people, notably the Local Arrangements Committee and Conference Chairs, who are invited to attend for a portion of the meeting and give their reports. At this time, also set a time for the next ACL Exec meeting in the following year.
# ACL Banquet <br />Give the after-dinner speech.
# ACL Business Meeting <br />Chair the ACL Business Meeting at the conference.

==Notes and comments==
In general, the president's position is something of a balancing act, between taking care of smallish issues (and getting them resolved and recorded) and thinking about the longer-term goals and directions of the Association. Now that you become president after two years of serving on the Exec, you will have had time to absorb the issues and decide whether you want to focus on one or the other (generally, people don't seem to have had time for both).

== tl;dr ==

Your goal is to get to the last step, Generate <code>All</code>, under the '''Generate''' tab, without any errors.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/acl-org/acl-pub/gh-pages/howto_images/aclpub_goal.png

It has to look good and abide by the ACL paper and style guidelines. It's up to you to make sure it does.

=== Important Details ===

# Your Softconf workshop abbreviation is [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing on this spreadsheet, under "Softconf"].
# Check [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing that spreadsheet] to make sure your workshop name is the '''precise name''' of the workshop, in order to get the ISBN.
# Based on the finalized workshop name, we will [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing update the spreadsheet to give you your ISBN].

== Introduction ==

You will need your ACL ID Prefix (henceforth, called '''Bibtex URL'''), and your ISBN number. You can find those [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing in the ACL 2017 Workshops google doc], once you have verified your workshop name. ISBNs are assigned based on the name of your workshop, so make sure your name is good.

You should be able to produce your proceedings entirely within the START manager console. Once your book builds without error using the <code>All</code> button under the Generate tab, let the publications chairs know by e-mailing us at [mailto:acl-pub-chairs@googlegroups.com acl-pub-chairs@googlegroups.com]. We will collect the books online using START. There is no need to e-mail us any zipped files.

We will update this page periodically with ACL 2017-specific details and answers to frequently asked questions as they arise. If you encounter any problems with this process, you can email us, but also remember this is all volunteer-run.

== Instructions ==

To get to the Softconf ACL Proceedings Generator:
* Go to your workshop's softconf website: https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/${WSAbbreviation}, where <math>{WSAbbreviation} is your [Softconf workshop abbreviation](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing).

* Go to the Publication Console (/pub): https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/</math>{WSAbbreviation}/pub

* Under '''Conference Program''', follow the <code>ACLPUB</code> link.<br />
https://github.com/acl-org/acl-pub/raw/gh-pages/howto_images/aclpub.png
This will bring you to the url: https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/${WSAbbreviation}/pub/scmd.cgi?scmd=ACLPUB

* Now you should see the <code>ACLPUB Proceedings Generator</code>.
https://github.com/acl-org/acl-pub/raw/gh-pages/howto_images/start_tabs.png

The Softconf ACL Proceedings Generator creates two things:

* '''Book proceedings pdf, based in latex''' The files used in the generation of the book proceedings are shown in [[#table-1--files-used-in-book-proceedings-generation|Table 1]].
* '''Online proceedings, based in html''' Compiling the book proceedings end-to-end also produces the online proceedings. The files used in the generation of the online proceedings are shown in [[#table-2--files-used-in-online-proceedings-generation|Table 2]].

Next we walk through how to use the Softconf ACL Proceedings Generator to create the book proceedings and the online proceedings.

== Step 1: Generate Tab ==

=== Check Copyright Signatures ===

Your first job is to check that your authors signed their copyright forms via START. To create the <code>copyright-signatures</code> file, go on the '''Generate tab''', and click on the '''Copyright Signatures''' button.

https://github.com/acl-org/acl-pub/raw/gh-pages/howto_images/generate_example.png

At this point, click on the "Download copyright signatures" link to download the copyright signatures.

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE; it is a legal record. Please quickly review it to make sure that appropriate signatures have been provided for all papers. For any papers with missing or inappropriate signatures (e.g., "Mickey Mouse"), contact the authors to get the proper copyright. The publications chairs need to extract hardcopy signatures from those papers' authors in time for their papers to be included.

=== Get Rough Cut ===

Now '''click on the Draft button'''. The command extracts the first two pages from each paper and adds margin markings and generates a first rough cut of the proceedings, <code>book.pdf</code>. Click '''Download Draft''' to download.

=== Check and Fix PDF files ===

Flip through the rough cut.<br />
Are the authors correct?<br />
Is their contact information easily findable?<br />
Is there an error or issue in how figures and tables show up? Are things presented well for black-and-white? Do all the fonts in the papers display and print correctly?

If any of these things are amiss, you will need to ask the author to email you a corrected version of the PDF file.<br />
We will deal with the margins in the next step.

=== Check and Fix Paper Information ===

Now you will check that the information provided by authors and inserted in the metadata file in the <code>db</code> are correct and correctly formatted.

<ul>
<li>Count the papers to make sure you're not missing any (e.g., due to an author's failure to submit camera-ready copy).</li>
<li><p>Capitalization of authors should be as in BibTeX. Example:</p>
<blockquote><pre>Piet Q. van Oostrum, Jr.
</pre></blockquote></li>
<li><p>Check the author index at the end of the rough cut to make sure that you don't have separate entries for "Doe, Jane" and "Doe, J." That is, if the same author contributed to multiple papers, make sure their name is written the same way each time in the various paper information.</p></li>
<li><p>Capitalization of titles should be exactly as in BibTeX, since these data will be used to create public BibTeX files for use by anyone. Specifically:</p>
<ul>
<li>Always capitalize the first word of the title, and any word following a colon.</li>
<li>Except as above, lowercase the following "little words": articles, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions, and the infinitive marker "to."</li>
<li>Capitalize all content words. This includes hyphenated words: <code>Mixed-Case</code>.</li>
<li>If a content word is inherently capitalized and must retain capitalization even in a lowercase style (such as ACL's prescribed style <code>acl.bst</code>), "protect" it by surrounding at least the capital letters with curly braces: <code>{E}nglish</code>, <code>{C}homsky</code>, <code>{IBM}</code>, <code>{CFG}s</code>, <code>{HMM}s</code> (or if you prefer, <code>{English}</code>, <code>{Chomsky}</code>, <code>{IBM}</code>, <code>{CFGs}</code>, <code>{HMMs}</code>).</li>
<li>Use LaTeX math mode where appropriate: <code>An $O(n^2)$ Algorithm for $n$-gram Smoothing</code>.</li>
<li>Use [http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-401.html LaTeX commands for accents].</li></ul>
</li></ul>

== Step 2: Margins Tab ==

[[#step-3--dwnl-templates-tab|Jump to Step 3]]

Going to this tab should display a table of the first 10 papers. To see all the papers, change the <code>Page length</code> value at the top of the table to the largest value possible.

The draft book created in the last step includes a margin frame and rulers that should make it easy to detect how much each paper must be shifted to fit.

Look especially at page 2 of each paper. If the text doesn't fit within the frame, look at the top of the text to see how many millimeters it should be moved, and add a margin specification.

You can change margins in this tab by clicking on the cell all the way to the right -- this will bring up the Margins adjustment, circled in red image right :arrow_right:.

<kbd>[[File:howto_images/margins.png|The Margins Tab.]]</kbd>

The format of the line is

<blockquote><pre>x-axis-movement y-axis-movement[,more-options]
</pre></blockquote>
Positive values move up and to the right. Negative values move down and to the left. For example, if the top of the text is <code>14mm</code> below the top of the frame, according to the ruler, then enter the values <code>0 14</code>.

Common values are:

<blockquote><pre>0 6
0 -12
</pre></blockquote>
Horizontal correction is rarely needed. In an exceptional case, you may need to shrink a page or clip it against a specified bounding box or something. You can do this by appending some options that will be passed to the [http://www.cs.brown.edu/system/software/latex/doc/grfguide.pdf LaTeX includegraphics command], which slurps in the page as a graphical object:

<blockquote><pre>0 6,scale=0.95
0 10,bb=0 90 612 792,clip
</pre></blockquote>
After entering the margin movement information, you can regenerate the rough cut (just click on the <code>Draft</code> button in [[#step-1-generate-tab|the Generate tab]] again and check that everything is at the right place. Iterate until convergence.

Alternatively, for each paper, go to the left column and click on the rightmost <code>Edit Submission</code>. This is circled in red image left :arrow_left:. This will bring you to the authors' final uploaded paper, where you can take a look at the paper, and adjust the margins in the submission page for each.

== Step 3: Dwnl Templates Tab ==

[[#step-4--order-tab|Jump to Step 4]]

<kbd>[[File:howto_images/dwnl_templates.png|The Download/Upload Tab.]]</kbd>

Download the ACLPUB <code>.zip</code> file, add in your sponsorship logos, rezip, and upload.

To download all the current files, click on the "Current ACLPub Templates", circled here in red. You will receive a zip file with all the files for your proceedings compilation. If you don't want to use START, and know what you're doing, here is where you would upload all your files.

Once downloaded and unzipped, '''you can edit all <code>tex</code> files here directly'''. You also add sponsorship logos here, via , and referencing the images added to the directory.

When you are done, zip the edited directory back up again, and upload it again by clicking the <code>Choose File</code> button ("ACLPUB templates zip name"), the "Import template".

You can also edit all <code>.html</code> files using the CDROM <code>.zip</code>

== Step 4: Order Tab ==

[[#step-5--templates-tab|Jump to Step 5]]

This tab creates the file called <code>order</code>.

The <code>order</code> file is used to format and order the papers in the proceedings, in the schedule, and also to generate the handbook. The latter can be a complex task, making sure that the schedule is formatted correctly and consistently, and pulling together times across workshops (like the student research workshop and the main proceedings). Since this is done in LaTeX, it's important that the schedules be formatted to be computer-readable.

You can either: 1. Use the Schedule Maker, to figure out your schedule, and get the <code>order</code> file created from that. 2. Use the text in the textbox as the <code>order</code> file, editing directly using the given markup.

If you use the ScheduleMaker tool, the order file is generated automatically and should be to spec. If you edit by the <code>order</code> file by hand, remember:

<ul>
<li><p>Times should be specified in 24-hour format (implicit AM/PM):</p>
<pre> ! 12:00--13:30 Lunch</pre></li></ul>

'''This is very important for things like the digital handbook!'''

<ul>
<li><p>Time ranges should be fully specified, with two dashes in between (and no spaces). Don't put just the start time.</p>
<pre> 17 9:00--9:30 # A really great paper</pre></li>
<li><p>Do not put time ranges in parentheses</p></li>
<li><p>Can also make sure your file passes [[files/verify_order.py|this verification script]]. E.g.,</p>
<pre> $ cat proceedings/order | python verify_order.py
Found 0 errors</pre></li></ul>

'''Order File'''

The <code>order</code> file below is adapted from SSST-7 at NAACL 2013. You can use it as a template. Remember to use a space, not a tab, to separate items on a line.

== Step 6: CDROM Tab (Online Proceedings Tab) ==

[[#step-7--program-tab|Jump to Step 7]]

<kbd> [[File:howto_images/cdrom.png|The CDROM Tab.]] </kbd>

You will need to fill out this tab with the correct values for your volume, many of which can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing here]. As an example, here are the values used for the main conference proceedings:

<pre>Abbreviation ACL-HLT
Type Main Conference
Title The 2017 Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
URL http://acl2017.org
Book Title Proceedings of the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
Month July-August
Year 2017
Location Vancouver, Canada
Publisher Association for Computational Linguistics
Chair 1 Kevin Knight (USC Information Sciences Institute)
Chair 2 Ani Nenkova (University of Pennsylvania)
Chair 3 Owen Rambow (Columbia University)
Chair 4 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 5 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 6 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 7 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 8 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Bibtex URL http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1%03d</pre>
'''The correct value''' for <code>Bibtex URL</code> can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing here].

The <code>Bibtex URL</code> uses '''8''' characters to identify the conference/workshop and paper, after the <code>http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/</code> prefix. '''You must make sure that the Bibtex URL provides for these 8 characters''', but adding %03d (3 digits) or %02d (2 digits).

The first values after the hyphen identify the workshop or ACL event. The remaining values specify the paper ID.

For example, in an ACL main event in year 2017 (long papers, short papers, demos, student research workshop), the 8 characters will begin with <code>P17-</code>. This stands for "ACL, 2017". For a workshop in year 2017, the 8 characters will begin with <code>W17-</code>. This stands for "Workshop, 2017".

For workshops, we provide you with enough prefix that you need to specify just %02d additional following digits. For example, if you're the 5th workshop listed, your bibtex URL will look like this:

<pre>Bibtex URL http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W17-05%02d</pre>
By specifying 2 more digits, we can create a paper for aclweb. E.g., the first workshop paper in the 5th workshop in 2016 is http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W16-0501.pdf.

For full ACL proceedings, specifying http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1%03d, we can create, e.g., http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1000.pdf (compare: http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P16-1000.pdf).

== Step 7: Program Tab ==

== What to Look Out For ==

=== Paper formatting ===

Please make sure that all of your papers meet the camera-ready standards as laid out <a href="camera-ready-faq.html">in this document</a>. In particular, there are four main areas of compliance you should look for:

# ''Margins''. Papers should fit entirely within the margins prescribed by the conference booklet. See [[#step-2--margins-tab|Step 2: Margins above.]]
# ''Black & White readability''. Papers can contain color images, charts, and figures, but they should all be interpretable when printed or viewed in grayscale.
# ''References''. Please make sure there are no obvious problems with the formatting of the References section.
# ''Metadata''. Please make sure there are no obvious problems with the formatting of names in the metadata for each paper (which is viewable from the proceedings draft index). In particular, authors should be aware that their names [[camera-ready-faq.html#name-formatting|will be formatted according to how they have entered it]] on their Softconf unified user info page.

=== Schedules ===

You will need to produce a schedule for your workshop/session while generating the proceedings. '''The schedule deadline is the same as the book deadline!''' Please follow the instructions in this document, or take a look at this [[files/sample-order.txt|sample order file from SSST-7]]. Schedules are built from the proceedings <code>order</code> file, which you can either edit manually in START's provided textbox or which you can create with the Excel-based <code>Schedule Maker</code> tool.

See the [[#step-4--order-tab|Order]] section above for more.

=== ISBN and Bibtex url ===

ISBNs are assigned based on the precise name of your workshop. Make sure to figure out the precise name, and send it to the pub chairs or upload it in the spreadsheet, in order to have the pub chairs give you your ISBN.

The ISBN is placed in the bottom of your <code>copyright.tex</code> file.

The Bibtex url should be put in place in [[#step-6--cdrom-tab-online-proceedings-tab|Step 6: Online Proceedings Tab (CDROM)]], to aid generation of the online proceedings.

=== Logos ===

Sponsors for your workshop/conference should have their logos appear on the <code>copyright.tex</code> page. [[#step-3--dwnl-templates-tab|Jump to Step 3]] to make sure those are uploaded and included.

=== Fonts and Unicode ===

The following warnings may appear when processing papers by authors from Japan:

<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-Japan1' Error: Couldn't find a font to substitute for 'Ryumin-Light-Identity-H' ('Adobe-Japan1' character collection) Error: Couldn't find a font to substitute for 'GothicBBB-Medium-Identity-H' ('Adobe-Japan1' character collection)</font>

Also, the following warnings may appear when processing papers by authors from China:

<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-GB1' Error: Couldn't find 'GBK-EUC-H' CMap file for 'Adobe-GB1' collection Error: Unknown CMap 'GBK-EUC-H' for character collection 'Adobe-GB1' Error: Unknown font tag 'F1'</font>

Make sure that fonts are embedded in the pdf. Make sure that the author started their LaTeX file with

<blockquote><pre>\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{times}</pre></blockquote>

[mailto:acl-pub-chairs@googlegroups.com Email] the publications chairs if you have questions about preparing your paper or proceedings.

== Setting up the Final submission page to collect the Camera ready papers ==

Before you start collecting the camera-ready papers for your conference or workshop, you need to create a '''Custom Final Submission Page'''. To do that, you need to go in the ''Manager Console'', then to the ''Custom Submission Page Editor'' in your workshop's softconf account.

First of all, please check that a final page for your publication does not already exist. If you are running a workshop, in fact, it may be that the Softconf people already populated an ACLPUB final submission page for you.

If a final submission page is not yet available, please create one by clicking on the ''New Page'' tab, using the "-- (ACLPUB Final Submission template) --". Please edit all the copyright information and the additional text as you wish. You may add additional textboxes, selectors, and the like to collect more information if needed.

When you are satisfied with the final submission page, you need to make it visible by activating it. To activate it, please go in the Manager Console, then ''Visibility/Phasing/Deadlines''. Make the page the only one visible for '''Revision''', and be sure to set a reasonable '''deadline''' for the page.

To test if the page works properly, you need to try it using the passcode of an accepted paper. To get the passcode, you can use the Spreadsheet Maker in the Manager Console.

== tl;dr ==

Your goal is to get to the last step, Generate <code>All</code>, under the '''Generate''' tab, without any errors. <kbd>[[File:howto_images/aclpub_goal.png|Image of last Generate tab view, with 'All' button producing successful proceedings.]]</kbd>

:point_right: :point_right: It has to look good and abide by the ACL paper and style guidelines. It's up to you to make sure it does. :point_left: :point_left: :ok_hand: :thumbsup:

=== Important Details ===

# Your Softconf workshop abbreviation is [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing on this spreadsheet, under "Softconf"].
# Check [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing that spreadsheet] to make sure your workshop name is the '''precise name''' of the workshop, in order to get the ISBN.
# Based on the finalized workshop name, we will [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing update the spreadsheet to give you your ISBN].

== Introduction ==

You will need your ACL ID Prefix (henceforth, called '''Bibtex URL'''), and your ISBN number. You can find those [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing in the ACL 2017 Workshops google doc], once you have verified your workshop name. ISBNs are assigned based on the name of your workshop, so make sure your name is good.

You should be able to produce your proceedings entirely within the START manager console. Once your book builds without error using the <code>All</code> button under the Generate tab, let the publications chairs know by e-mailing us at [mailto:acl-pub-chairs@googlegroups.com acl-pub-chairs@googlegroups.com]. We will collect the books online using START. There is no need to e-mail us any zipped files.

We will update this page periodically with ACL 2017-specific details and answers to frequently asked questions as they arise. If you encounter any problems with this process, you can email us, but also remember this is all volunteer-run.

== Instructions ==

To get to the Softconf ACL Proceedings Generator: - Go to your workshop's softconf website: https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/${WSAbbreviation}, where <math>{WSAbbreviation} is your [Softconf workshop abbreviation](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing). - Go to the Publication Console (/pub): https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/</math>{WSAbbreviation}/pub - Under '''Conference Program''', follow the <code>ACLPUB</code> link.<br />
<kbd> [[File:howto_images/aclpub.png|ACLPUB link.]] </kbd><br />
This will bring you to the url: https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/${WSAbbreviation}/pub/scmd.cgi?scmd=ACLPUB - Now you should see the <code>ACLPUB Proceedings Generator</code>. <kbd>[[File:howto_images/start_tabs.png|Left to Right START Tabs.]]</kbd>

The Softconf ACL Proceedings Generator creates two things:

* '''Book proceedings pdf, based in latex'''<br />
The files used in the generation of the book proceedings are shown in [[#table-1--files-used-in-book-proceedings-generation|Table 1]].
* '''Online proceedings, based in html''' Compiling the book proceedings end-to-end also produces the online proceedings. The files used in the generation of the online proceedings are shown in [[#table-2--files-used-in-online-proceedings-generation|Table 2]].

Next we walk through how to use the Softconf ACL Proceedings Generator to create the book proceedings and the online proceedings.

== Step 1: Generate Tab ==

=== Check Copyright Signatures ===

Your first job is to check that your authors signed their copyright forms via START. To create the <code>copyright-signatures</code> file, go on the '''Generate tab''', and click on the '''Copyright Signatures''' button.

<kbd>[[File:howto_images/generate_example.png|Image of last Generate tab view, with 'Copyright Signatures' circled.]]</kbd>

At this point, click on the "Download copyright signatures" link to download the copyright signatures.

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE; it is a legal record. Please quickly review it to make sure that appropriate signatures have been provided for all papers. For any papers with missing or inappropriate signatures (e.g., "Mickey Mouse"), contact the authors to get the proper copyright. The publications chairs need to extract hardcopy signatures from those papers' authors in time for their papers to be included.

=== Get Rough Cut ===

Now '''click on the Draft button'''. The command extracts the first two pages from each paper and adds margin markings and generates a first rough cut of the proceedings, <code>book.pdf</code>. Click '''Download Draft''' to download.

=== Check and Fix PDF files ===

Flip through the rough cut.<br />
Are the authors correct?<br />
Is their contact information easily findable?<br />
Is there an error or issue in how figures and tables show up? Are things presented well for black-and-white? Do all the fonts in the papers display and print correctly?

If any of these things are amiss, you will need to ask the author to email you a corrected version of the PDF file.<br />
We will deal with the margins in the next step.

=== Check and Fix Paper Information ===

Now you will check that the information provided by authors and inserted in the metadata file in the <code>db</code> are correct and correctly formatted.

<ul>
<li>Count the papers to make sure you're not missing any (e.g., due to an author's failure to submit camera-ready copy).</li>
<li><p>Capitalization of authors should be as in BibTeX. Example:</p>
<blockquote><pre>Piet Q. van Oostrum, Jr.
</pre></blockquote></li>
<li><p>Check the author index at the end of the rough cut to make sure that you don't have separate entries for "Doe, Jane" and "Doe, J." That is, if the same author contributed to multiple papers, make sure their name is written the same way each time in the various paper information.</p></li>
<li><p>Capitalization of titles should be exactly as in BibTeX, since these data will be used to create public BibTeX files for use by anyone. Specifically:</p>
<ul>
<li>Always capitalize the first word of the title, and any word following a colon.</li>
<li>Except as above, lowercase the following "little words": articles, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions, and the infinitive marker "to."</li>
<li>Capitalize all content words. This includes hyphenated words: <code>Mixed-Case</code>.</li>
<li>If a content word is inherently capitalized and must retain capitalization even in a lowercase style (such as ACL's prescribed style <code>acl.bst</code>), "protect" it by surrounding at least the capital letters with curly braces: <code>{E}nglish</code>, <code>{C}homsky</code>, <code>{IBM}</code>, <code>{CFG}s</code>, <code>{HMM}s</code> (or if you prefer, <code>{English}</code>, <code>{Chomsky}</code>, <code>{IBM}</code>, <code>{CFGs}</code>, <code>{HMMs}</code>).</li>
<li>Use LaTeX math mode where appropriate: <code>An $O(n^2)$ Algorithm for $n$-gram Smoothing</code>.</li>
<li>Use [http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-401.html LaTeX commands for accents].</li></ul>
</li></ul>

== Step 2: Margins Tab ==

[[#step-3--dwnl-templates-tab|Jump to Step 3]]

Going to this tab should display a table of the first 10 papers. To see all the papers, change the <code>Page length</code> value at the top of the table to the largest value possible.

The draft book created in the last step includes a margin frame and rulers that should make it easy to detect how much each paper must be shifted to fit.

Look especially at page 2 of each paper. If the text doesn't fit within the frame, look at the top of the text to see how many millimeters it should be moved, and add a margin specification.

You can change margins in this tab by clicking on the cell all the way to the right -- this will bring up the Margins adjustment, circled in red image right :arrow_right:.

<kbd>[[File:howto_images/margins.png|The Margins Tab.]]</kbd>

The format of the line is

<blockquote><pre>x-axis-movement y-axis-movement[,more-options]
</pre></blockquote>
Positive values move up and to the right. Negative values move down and to the left. For example, if the top of the text is <code>14mm</code> below the top of the frame, according to the ruler, then enter the values <code>0 14</code>.

Common values are:

<blockquote><pre>0 6
0 -12
</pre></blockquote>
Horizontal correction is rarely needed. In an exceptional case, you may need to shrink a page or clip it against a specified bounding box or something. You can do this by appending some options that will be passed to the [http://www.cs.brown.edu/system/software/latex/doc/grfguide.pdf LaTeX includegraphics command], which slurps in the page as a graphical object:

<blockquote><pre>0 6,scale=0.95
0 10,bb=0 90 612 792,clip
</pre></blockquote>
After entering the margin movement information, you can regenerate the rough cut (just click on the <code>Draft</code> button in [[#step-1-generate-tab|the Generate tab]] again and check that everything is at the right place. Iterate until convergence.

Alternatively, for each paper, go to the left column and click on the rightmost <code>Edit Submission</code>. This is circled in red image left :arrow_left:. This will bring you to the authors' final uploaded paper, where you can take a look at the paper, and adjust the margins in the submission page for each.

== Step 3: Dwnl Templates Tab ==

[[#step-4--order-tab|Jump to Step 4]]

<kbd>[[File:howto_images/dwnl_templates.png|The Download/Upload Tab.]]</kbd>

Download the ACLPUB <code>.zip</code> file, add in your sponsorship logos, rezip, and upload.

To download all the current files, click on the "Current ACLPub Templates", circled here in red. You will receive a zip file with all the files for your proceedings compilation. If you don't want to use START, and know what you're doing, here is where you would upload all your files.

Once downloaded and unzipped, '''you can edit all <code>tex</code> files here directly'''. You also add sponsorship logos here, via , and referencing the images added to the directory.

When you are done, zip the edited directory back up again, and upload it again by clicking the <code>Choose File</code> button ("ACLPUB templates zip name"), the "Import template".

You can also edit all <code>.html</code> files using the CDROM <code>.zip</code>

== Step 4: Order Tab ==

[[#step-5--templates-tab|Jump to Step 5]]

This tab creates the file called <code>order</code>.

The <code>order</code> file is used to format and order the papers in the proceedings, in the schedule, and also to generate the handbook. The latter can be a complex task, making sure that the schedule is formatted correctly and consistently, and pulling together times across workshops (like the student research workshop and the main proceedings). Since this is done in LaTeX, it's important that the schedules be formatted to be computer-readable.

You can either: 1. Use the Schedule Maker, to figure out your schedule, and get the <code>order</code> file created from that. 2. Use the text in the textbox as the <code>order</code> file, editing directly using the given markup.

If you use the ScheduleMaker tool, the order file is generated automatically and should be to spec. If you edit by the <code>order</code> file by hand, remember:

<ul>
<li><p>Times should be specified in 24-hour format (implicit AM/PM):</p>
<pre> ! 12:00--13:30 Lunch</pre></li></ul>

'''This is very important for things like the digital handbook!'''

<ul>
<li><p>Time ranges should be fully specified, with two dashes in between (and no spaces). Don't put just the start time.</p>
<pre> 17 9:00--9:30 # A really great paper</pre></li>
<li><p>Do not put time ranges in parentheses</p></li>
<li><p>Can also make sure your file passes [[files/verify_order.py|this verification script]]. E.g.,</p>
<pre> $ cat proceedings/order | python verify_order.py
Found 0 errors</pre></li></ul>

'''Order File'''

The <code>order</code> file below is adapted from SSST-7 at NAACL 2013. You can use it as a template. Remember to use a space, not a tab, to separate items on a line.

== Step 6: CDROM Tab (Online Proceedings Tab) ==

[[#step-7--program-tab|Jump to Step 7]]

<kbd> [[File:howto_images/cdrom.png|The CDROM Tab.]] </kbd>

You will need to fill out this tab with the correct values for your volume, many of which can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing here]. As an example, here are the values used for the main conference proceedings:

<pre>Abbreviation ACL-HLT
Type Main Conference
Title The 2017 Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
URL http://acl2017.org
Book Title Proceedings of the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
Month July-August
Year 2017
Location Vancouver, Canada
Publisher Association for Computational Linguistics
Chair 1 Kevin Knight (USC Information Sciences Institute)
Chair 2 Ani Nenkova (University of Pennsylvania)
Chair 3 Owen Rambow (Columbia University)
Chair 4 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 5 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 6 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 7 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 8 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Bibtex URL http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1%03d</pre>
'''The correct value''' for <code>Bibtex URL</code> can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing here].

The <code>Bibtex URL</code> uses '''8''' characters to identify the conference/workshop and paper, after the <code>http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/</code> prefix. '''You must make sure that the Bibtex URL provides for these 8 characters''', but adding %03d (3 digits) or %02d (2 digits).

The first values after the hyphen identify the workshop or ACL event. The remaining values specify the paper ID.

For example, in an ACL main event in year 2017 (long papers, short papers, demos, student research workshop), the 8 characters will begin with <code>P17-</code>. This stands for "ACL, 2017". For a workshop in year 2017, the 8 characters will begin with <code>W17-</code>. This stands for "Workshop, 2017".

For workshops, we provide you with enough prefix that you need to specify just %02d additional following digits. For example, if you're the 5th workshop listed, your bibtex URL will look like this:

<pre>Bibtex URL http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W17-05%02d</pre>
By specifying 2 more digits, we can create a paper for aclweb. E.g., the first workshop paper in the 5th workshop in 2016 is http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W16-0501.pdf.

For full ACL proceedings, specifying http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1%03d, we can create, e.g., http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1000.pdf (compare: http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P16-1000.pdf).

== What to Look Out For ==

=== Paper formatting ===

Please make sure that all of your papers meet the camera-ready standards as laid out <a href="camera-ready-faq.html">in this document</a>. In particular, there are four main areas of compliance you should look for:

# ''Margins''. Papers should fit entirely within the margins prescribed by the conference booklet. See [[#step-2--margins-tab|Step 2: Margins above.]]
# ''Black & White readability''. Papers can contain color images, charts, and figures, but they should all be interpretable when printed or viewed in grayscale.
# ''References''. Please make sure there are no obvious problems with the formatting of the References section.
# ''Metadata''. Please make sure there are no obvious problems with the formatting of names in the metadata for each paper (which is viewable from the proceedings draft index). In particular, authors should be aware that their names [[camera-ready-faq.html#name-formatting|will be formatted according to how they have entered it]] on their Softconf unified user info page.

=== Schedules ===

You will need to produce a schedule for your workshop/session while generating the proceedings. '''The schedule deadline is the same as the book deadline!''' Please follow the instructions in this document, or take a look at this [[files/sample-order.txt|sample order file from SSST-7]]. Schedules are built from the proceedings <code>order</code> file, which you can either edit manually in START's provided textbox or which you can create with the Excel-based <code>Schedule Maker</code> tool.

See the [[#step-4--order-tab|Order]] section above for more.

=== ISBN and Bibtex url ===

ISBNs are assigned based on the precise name of your workshop. Make sure to figure out the precise name, and send it to the pub chairs or upload it in the spreadsheet, in order to have the pub chairs give you your ISBN.

The ISBN is placed in the bottom of your <code>copyright.tex</code> file.

The Bibtex url should be put in place in [[#step-6--cdrom-tab-online-proceedings-tab|Step 6: Online Proceedings Tab (CDROM)]], to aid generation of the online proceedings.

=== Logos ===

Sponsors for your workshop/conference should have their logos appear on the <code>copyright.tex</code> page. [[#step-3--dwnl-templates-tab|Jump to Step 3]] to make sure those are uploaded and included.

=== Fonts and Unicode ===

The following warnings may appear when processing papers by authors from Japan:

<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-Japan1' Error: Couldn't find a font to substitute for 'Ryumin-Light-Identity-H' ('Adobe-Japan1' character collection) Error: Couldn't find a font to substitute for 'GothicBBB-Medium-Identity-H' ('Adobe-Japan1' character collection)</font>

Also, the following warnings may appear when processing papers by authors from China:

<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-GB1' Error: Couldn't find 'GBK-EUC-H' CMap file for 'Adobe-GB1' collection Error: Unknown CMap 'GBK-EUC-H' for character collection 'Adobe-GB1' Error: Unknown font tag 'F1'</font>

Make sure that fonts are embedded in the pdf. Make sure that the author started their LaTeX file with

<blockquote><pre>\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{times}</pre></blockquote>

* [[#the-templates|The Templates]]
* [[#authors|Authors]]

== Responsibilities ==

Produce the proceedings for your workshop or conference.<br />
Make sure they don't have any problems and look good.

== The Process ==

# Authors use [[#the-templates|the style templates below]], to create the camera-ready papers.
# There's an FAQ for authors here, and feel free to add more: [[camera-ready-faq.md|camera-ready-faq.md]]
# Remind authors:
## The date the camera-ready is due
## Camera-ready long papers may include 9 pages
## Unlimited pages for references and appendices
## The margin rulers and anonymization can be removed by uncommenting the <code></code> command near the top of the .tex file.
# Set up the Final Submission Page on your Softconf website. Your Softconf website is probably something like: "https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/" + [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M your Softconf acronym on this spreadsheet]
# Remind authors again of the camera-ready due date; I prefer doing it two weeks before, 1 week before, 3 days before, and 1 day before.
# Authors upload camera-ready papers by logging into the submission page on START, at "https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/" + [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M your Softconf acronym on this spreadsheet] + "/papers".
# Once they've uploaded to START, now you:
## <a href="002.book.md">Generate proceedings within START</a>
## Download the proceedings to see all issues
## Address the issues in START
## Repeat steps i-iii until the proceedings are good to go.
# E-mail a link to your final proceedings to [mailto:acl-pub-chairs@googlegroups.com acl-pub-chairs].

This page will be regularly updated with information for '''Organizers''' of co-hosted conferences and workshops.

[mailto:acl-pub-chairs@googlegroups.com Email] the publications chairs if you have questions about preparing your paper or proceedings.

== Setting up the Final submission page to collect the Camera ready papers ==

Before you start collecting the camera-ready papers for your conference or workshop, you need to create a '''Custom Final Submission Page'''. To do that, you need to go in the ''Manager Console'', then to the ''Custom Submission Page Editor'' in your workshop's softconf account.

First of all, please check that a final page for your publication does not already exist. If you are running a workshop, in fact, it may be that the Softconf people already populated an ACLPUB final submission page for you.

If a final submission page is not yet available, please create one by clicking on the ''New Page'' tab, using the "-- (ACLPUB Final Submission template) --". Please edit all the copyright information and the additional text as you wish. You may add additional textboxes, selectors, and the like to collect more information if needed.

When you are satisfied with the final submission page, you need to make it visible by activating it. To activate it, please go in the Manager Console, then ''Visibility/Phasing/Deadlines''. Make the page the only one visible for '''Revision''', and be sure to set a reasonable '''deadline''' for the page.

To test if the page works properly, you need to try it using the passcode of an accepted paper. To get the passcode, you can use the Spreadsheet Maker in the Manager Console.

Your goal is to get to the last step, Generate <code>All</code>, under the '''Generate''' tab, without any errors. <kbd>[[File:howto_images/aclpub_goal.png|Image of last Generate tab view, with 'All' button producing successful proceedings.]]</kbd>

:point_right: :point_right: It has to look good and abide by the ACL paper and style guidelines. It's up to you to make sure it does. :point_left: :point_left: :ok_hand: :thumbsup:

=== Important Details ===

# Your Softconf workshop abbreviation is [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing on this spreadsheet, under "Softconf"].
# Check [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing that spreadsheet] to make sure your workshop name is the '''precise name''' of the workshop, in order to get the ISBN.
# Based on the finalized workshop name, we will [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing update the spreadsheet to give you your ISBN].

== Introduction ==

You will need your ACL ID Prefix (henceforth, called '''Bibtex URL'''), and your ISBN number. You can find those [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing in the ACL 2017 Workshops google doc], once you have verified your workshop name. ISBNs are assigned based on the name of your workshop, so make sure your name is good.

You should be able to produce your proceedings entirely within the START manager console. Once your book builds without error using the <code>All</code> button under the Generate tab, let the publications chairs know by e-mailing us at [mailto:acl-pub-chairs@googlegroups.com acl-pub-chairs@googlegroups.com]. We will collect the books online using START. There is no need to e-mail us any zipped files.

We will update this page periodically with ACL 2017-specific details and answers to frequently asked questions as they arise. If you encounter any problems with this process, you can email us, but also remember this is all volunteer-run.

== Instructions ==

To get to the Softconf ACL Proceedings Generator: - Go to your workshop's softconf website: https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/${WSAbbreviation}, where <math>{WSAbbreviation} is your [Softconf workshop abbreviation](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing). - Go to the Publication Console (/pub): https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/</math>{WSAbbreviation}/pub - Under '''Conference Program''', follow the <code>ACLPUB</code> link.<br />
<kbd> [[File:howto_images/aclpub.png|ACLPUB link.]] </kbd><br />
This will bring you to the url: https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/${WSAbbreviation}/pub/scmd.cgi?scmd=ACLPUB - Now you should see the <code>ACLPUB Proceedings Generator</code>. <kbd>[[File:howto_images/start_tabs.png|Left to Right START Tabs.]]</kbd>

The Softconf ACL Proceedings Generator creates two things:

* '''Book proceedings pdf, based in latex'''<br />
The files used in the generation of the book proceedings are shown in [[#table-1--files-used-in-book-proceedings-generation|Table 1]].
* '''Online proceedings, based in html''' Compiling the book proceedings end-to-end also produces the online proceedings. The files used in the generation of the online proceedings are shown in [[#table-2--files-used-in-online-proceedings-generation|Table 2]].

Next we walk through how to use the Softconf ACL Proceedings Generator to create the book proceedings and the online proceedings.

== Step 1: Generate Tab ==

=== Check Copyright Signatures ===

Your first job is to check that your authors signed their copyright forms via START. To create the <code>copyright-signatures</code> file, go on the '''Generate tab''', and click on the '''Copyright Signatures''' button.

<kbd>[[File:howto_images/generate_example.png|Image of last Generate tab view, with 'Copyright Signatures' circled.]]</kbd>

At this point, click on the "Download copyright signatures" link to download the copyright signatures.

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE; it is a legal record. Please quickly review it to make sure that appropriate signatures have been provided for all papers. For any papers with missing or inappropriate signatures (e.g., "Mickey Mouse"), contact the authors to get the proper copyright. The publications chairs need to extract hardcopy signatures from those papers' authors in time for their papers to be included.

=== Get Rough Cut ===

Now '''click on the Draft button'''. The command extracts the first two pages from each paper and adds margin markings and generates a first rough cut of the proceedings, <code>book.pdf</code>. Click '''Download Draft''' to download.

=== Check and Fix PDF files ===

Flip through the rough cut.<br />
Are the authors correct?<br />
Is their contact information easily findable?<br />
Is there an error or issue in how figures and tables show up? Are things presented well for black-and-white? Do all the fonts in the papers display and print correctly?

If any of these things are amiss, you will need to ask the author to email you a corrected version of the PDF file.<br />
We will deal with the margins in the next step.

=== Check and Fix Paper Information ===

Now you will check that the information provided by authors and inserted in the metadata file in the <code>db</code> are correct and correctly formatted.

<ul>
<li>Count the papers to make sure you're not missing any (e.g., due to an author's failure to submit camera-ready copy).</li>
<li><p>Capitalization of authors should be as in BibTeX. Example:</p>
<blockquote><pre>Piet Q. van Oostrum, Jr.
</pre></blockquote></li>
<li><p>Check the author index at the end of the rough cut to make sure that you don't have separate entries for "Doe, Jane" and "Doe, J." That is, if the same author contributed to multiple papers, make sure their name is written the same way each time in the various paper information.</p></li>
<li><p>Capitalization of titles should be exactly as in BibTeX, since these data will be used to create public BibTeX files for use by anyone. Specifically:</p>
<ul>
<li>Always capitalize the first word of the title, and any word following a colon.</li>
<li>Except as above, lowercase the following "little words": articles, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions, and the infinitive marker "to."</li>
<li>Capitalize all content words. This includes hyphenated words: <code>Mixed-Case</code>.</li>
<li>If a content word is inherently capitalized and must retain capitalization even in a lowercase style (such as ACL's prescribed style <code>acl.bst</code>), "protect" it by surrounding at least the capital letters with curly braces: <code>{E}nglish</code>, <code>{C}homsky</code>, <code>{IBM}</code>, <code>{CFG}s</code>, <code>{HMM}s</code> (or if you prefer, <code>{English}</code>, <code>{Chomsky}</code>, <code>{IBM}</code>, <code>{CFGs}</code>, <code>{HMMs}</code>).</li>
<li>Use LaTeX math mode where appropriate: <code>An $O(n^2)$ Algorithm for $n$-gram Smoothing</code>.</li>
<li>Use [http://www-h.eng.cam.ac.uk/help/tpl/textprocessing/teTeX/latex/latex2e-html/ltx-401.html LaTeX commands for accents].</li></ul>
</li></ul>

== Step 2: Margins Tab ==

[[#step-3--dwnl-templates-tab|Jump to Step 3]]

Going to this tab should display a table of the first 10 papers. To see all the papers, change the <code>Page length</code> value at the top of the table to the largest value possible.

The draft book created in the last step includes a margin frame and rulers that should make it easy to detect how much each paper must be shifted to fit.

Look especially at page 2 of each paper. If the text doesn't fit within the frame, look at the top of the text to see how many millimeters it should be moved, and add a margin specification.

You can change margins in this tab by clicking on the cell all the way to the right -- this will bring up the Margins adjustment, circled in red image right :arrow_right:.

<kbd>[[File:howto_images/margins.png|The Margins Tab.]]</kbd>

The format of the line is

<blockquote><pre>x-axis-movement y-axis-movement[,more-options]
</pre></blockquote>
Positive values move up and to the right. Negative values move down and to the left. For example, if the top of the text is <code>14mm</code> below the top of the frame, according to the ruler, then enter the values <code>0 14</code>.

Common values are:

<blockquote><pre>0 6
0 -12
</pre></blockquote>
Horizontal correction is rarely needed. In an exceptional case, you may need to shrink a page or clip it against a specified bounding box or something. You can do this by appending some options that will be passed to the [http://www.cs.brown.edu/system/software/latex/doc/grfguide.pdf LaTeX includegraphics command], which slurps in the page as a graphical object:

<blockquote><pre>0 6,scale=0.95
0 10,bb=0 90 612 792,clip
</pre></blockquote>
After entering the margin movement information, you can regenerate the rough cut (just click on the <code>Draft</code> button in [[#step-1-generate-tab|the Generate tab]] again and check that everything is at the right place. Iterate until convergence.

Alternatively, for each paper, go to the left column and click on the rightmost <code>Edit Submission</code>. This is circled in red image left :arrow_left:. This will bring you to the authors' final uploaded paper, where you can take a look at the paper, and adjust the margins in the submission page for each.

== Step 3: Dwnl Templates Tab ==

[[#step-4--order-tab|Jump to Step 4]]

<kbd>[[File:howto_images/dwnl_templates.png|The Download/Upload Tab.]]</kbd>

Download the ACLPUB <code>.zip</code> file, add in your sponsorship logos, rezip, and upload.

To download all the current files, click on the "Current ACLPub Templates", circled here in red. You will receive a zip file with all the files for your proceedings compilation. If you don't want to use START, and know what you're doing, here is where you would upload all your files.

Once downloaded and unzipped, '''you can edit all <code>tex</code> files here directly'''. You also add sponsorship logos here, via , and referencing the images added to the directory.

When you are done, zip the edited directory back up again, and upload it again by clicking the <code>Choose File</code> button ("ACLPUB templates zip name"), the "Import template".

You can also edit all <code>.html</code> files using the CDROM <code>.zip</code>

== Step 4: Order Tab ==

[[#step-5--templates-tab|Jump to Step 5]]

This tab creates the file called <code>order</code>.

The <code>order</code> file is used to format and order the papers in the proceedings, in the schedule, and also to generate the handbook. The latter can be a complex task, making sure that the schedule is formatted correctly and consistently, and pulling together times across workshops (like the student research workshop and the main proceedings). Since this is done in LaTeX, it's important that the schedules be formatted to be computer-readable.

You can either: 1. Use the Schedule Maker, to figure out your schedule, and get the <code>order</code> file created from that. 2. Use the text in the textbox as the <code>order</code> file, editing directly using the given markup.

If you use the ScheduleMaker tool, the order file is generated automatically and should be to spec. If you edit by the <code>order</code> file by hand, remember:

<ul>
<li><p>Times should be specified in 24-hour format (implicit AM/PM):</p>
<pre> ! 12:00--13:30 Lunch</pre></li></ul>

'''This is very important for things like the digital handbook!'''

<ul>
<li><p>Time ranges should be fully specified, with two dashes in between (and no spaces). Don't put just the start time.</p>
<pre> 17 9:00--9:30 # A really great paper</pre></li>
<li><p>Do not put time ranges in parentheses</p></li>
<li><p>Can also make sure your file passes [[files/verify_order.py|this verification script]]. E.g.,</p>
<pre> $ cat proceedings/order | python verify_order.py
Found 0 errors</pre></li></ul>

'''Order File'''

The <code>order</code> file below is adapted from SSST-7 at NAACL 2013. You can use it as a template. Remember to use a space, not a tab, to separate items on a line.

These files are used to create the <code>index.html</code>, <code>authors.html</code>, and <code>program.html</code> files for the Online proceedings. Edit the headers here so that they point to your conference/website.

== Step 6: CDROM Tab (Online Proceedings Tab) ==

[[#step-7--program-tab|Jump to Step 7]]

<kbd> [[File:howto_images/cdrom.png|The CDROM Tab.]] </kbd>

You will need to fill out this tab with the correct values for your volume, many of which can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing here]. As an example, here are the values used for the main conference proceedings:

<pre>Abbreviation ACL-HLT
Type Main Conference
Title The 2017 Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
URL http://acl2017.org
Book Title Proceedings of the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics
Month July-August
Year 2017
Location Vancouver, Canada
Publisher Association for Computational Linguistics
Chair 1 Kevin Knight (USC Information Sciences Institute)
Chair 2 Ani Nenkova (University of Pennsylvania)
Chair 3 Owen Rambow (Columbia University)
Chair 4 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 5 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 6 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 7 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Chair 8 TOBEFILLED-Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service)
Bibtex URL http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1%03d</pre>
'''The correct value''' for <code>Bibtex URL</code> can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x1RtUjAy-S_YhvTXWTrUc5xs9_4HkF0pOGynhRE963M/edit?usp=sharing here].

The <code>Bibtex URL</code> uses '''8''' characters to identify the conference/workshop and paper, after the <code>http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/</code> prefix. '''You must make sure that the Bibtex URL provides for these 8 characters''', but adding %03d (3 digits) or %02d (2 digits).

The first values after the hyphen identify the workshop or ACL event. The remaining values specify the paper ID.

For example, in an ACL main event in year 2017 (long papers, short papers, demos, student research workshop), the 8 characters will begin with <code>P17-</code>. This stands for "ACL, 2017". For a workshop in year 2017, the 8 characters will begin with <code>W17-</code>. This stands for "Workshop, 2017".

For workshops, we provide you with enough prefix that you need to specify just %02d additional following digits. For example, if you're the 5th workshop listed, your bibtex URL will look like this:

<pre>Bibtex URL http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W17-05%02d</pre>
By specifying 2 more digits, we can create a paper for aclweb. E.g., the first workshop paper in the 5th workshop in 2016 is http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W16-0501.pdf.

For full ACL proceedings, specifying http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1%03d, we can create, e.g., http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1000.pdf (compare: http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P16-1000.pdf).

== Step 7: Program Tab ==

== What to Look Out For ==

=== Paper formatting ===

Please make sure that all of your papers meet the camera-ready standards as laid out <a href="camera-ready-faq.html">in this document</a>. In particular, there are four main areas of compliance you should look for:

# ''Margins''. Papers should fit entirely within the margins prescribed by the conference booklet. See [[#step-2--margins-tab|Step 2: Margins above.]]
# ''Black & White readability''. Papers can contain color images, charts, and figures, but they should all be interpretable when printed or viewed in grayscale.
# ''References''. Please make sure there are no obvious problems with the formatting of the References section.
# ''Metadata''. Please make sure there are no obvious problems with the formatting of names in the metadata for each paper (which is viewable from the proceedings draft index). In particular, authors should be aware that their names [[camera-ready-faq.html#name-formatting|will be formatted according to how they have entered it]] on their Softconf unified user info page.

=== Schedules ===

You will need to produce a schedule for your workshop/session while generating the proceedings. '''The schedule deadline is the same as the book deadline!''' Please follow the instructions in this document, or take a look at this [[files/sample-order.txt|sample order file from SSST-7]]. Schedules are built from the proceedings <code>order</code> file, which you can either edit manually in START's provided textbox or which you can create with the Excel-based <code>Schedule Maker</code> tool.

See the [[#step-4--order-tab|Order]] section above for more.

=== ISBN and Bibtex url ===

ISBNs are assigned based on the precise name of your workshop. Make sure to figure out the precise name, and send it to the pub chairs or upload it in the spreadsheet, in order to have the pub chairs give you your ISBN.

The ISBN is placed in the bottom of your <code>copyright.tex</code> file.

The Bibtex url should be put in place in [[#step-6--cdrom-tab-online-proceedings-tab|Step 6: Online Proceedings Tab (CDROM)]], to aid generation of the online proceedings.

=== Logos ===

Sponsors for your workshop/conference should have their logos appear on the <code>copyright.tex</code> page. [[#step-3--dwnl-templates-tab|Jump to Step 3]] to make sure those are uploaded and included.

=== Fonts and Unicode ===

The following warnings may appear when processing papers by authors from Japan:

<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-Japan1' Error: Couldn't find a font to substitute for 'Ryumin-Light-Identity-H' ('Adobe-Japan1' character collection) Error: Couldn't find a font to substitute for 'GothicBBB-Medium-Identity-H' ('Adobe-Japan1' character collection)</font>

Also, the following warnings may appear when processing papers by authors from China:

<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-GB1' Error: Couldn't find 'GBK-EUC-H' CMap file for 'Adobe-GB1' collection Error: Unknown CMap 'GBK-EUC-H' for character collection 'Adobe-GB1' Error: Unknown font tag 'F1'</font>

Make sure that fonts are embedded in the pdf. Make sure that the author started their LaTeX file with

<blockquote><pre>\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{times}</pre></blockquote>
