AAMAS Camera Ready

Use this after acceptance. Reopen the current AAMAS camera-ready instructions, the proceedings author kit, the registration page, and the decision notice before advising authors; AAMAS proceedings are published open-access by IFAAMAS.

Camera-ready audit

• Convert the anonymous submission to the public version: author names, affiliations,

acknowledgements, funding, and de-anonymized code, data, and environment links.

• Apply the current final-page rules and template. Confirm whether the accepted-paper mode

changes the page budget from the 8-page submission body, and reflow accordingly.

• Check proceedings metadata: title, abstract, author order and ORCID, subject areas,

bibliography, and any required copyright or release form.

• Integrate every rebuttal-stage promise without expanding the accepted contribution: a

wording fix, a moved assumption, or an added caption line - not a new experiment.

• Prepare the public artifact: repository, multiagent environments, opponent/population sets,

seeds, checkpoints, and an archival citation, now that anonymity no longer applies.

• Confirm registration and in-person presentation obligations for at least one author.

Anonymous-to-final flip: what to recheck

| Element | Submission (anonymous) | Camera-ready (final) | |---|---|---| | Page one | Tracking number, no author block | Author names, affiliations, ORCID | | Acknowledgements / funding | Removed | Restored | | Code / environment links | Anonymized placeholder | Public, licensed, citable archive | | Self-citation phrasing | "prior work anon]" | Natural first-person, de-anonymized | | Page budget | 8-page body | Confirm the accepted-paper budget, then reflow |

Two-column reflow for multiagent papers

• Switching the style file from anonymous to final mode changes spacing; recheck every page

break, figure placement, and table width after the flip.

• Extensive-form game trees, payoff matrices, and multi-panel learning curves often need

full-width spans; verify nothing is clipped at the column boundary.

• Material that fit under the tracking number can overflow once the author block and

acknowledgements are added; confirm rather than assume the budget absorbs it.

• Keep theorem, assumption, and game-definition numbering identical to the reviewed version so

the public reviews on OpenReview remain traceable to the final text.

De-anonymization sweep

• Restore the author block, acknowledgements, grants, and contribution statements the

anonymous version stripped.

• Rewrite anonymized self-citations ("prior work anon]") into natural first-person form.
• Replace anonymized repository placeholders with the public, licensed, citable archive, and

test every link and every environment install from a logged-out machine.

Worked example: honoring a rebuttal promise

The area chair accepted on the condition that the paper add a held-out opponent to the evaluation, which the rebuttal promised. Camera-ready move: add the one opponent, report it with the same seeds and standard errors as the others, and add a sentence to the protocol - without re-tuning the method or re-framing the contribution the reviewers evaluated.

Hedged logistics

• Registration pricing, copyright-form mechanics, the exact camera-ready date, and the

proceedings template can change every cycle; confirm against the decision notice and current author kit.
