Use when preparing an accepted ACL main-conference or Findings paper for camera-ready, covering the extra content page, de-anonymization and acknowledgements, AI-assistance disclosure, keeping the Limitations section, ACL Anthology metadata and CC BY 4.0 publication, meta-review-driven edits, and presentation-mode logistics.

Prompt
We are preparing our final PDF upload for ACL. We converted third-person self-citations back to natural phrasing, added grant numbers, updated the web form abstract without LaTeX macros, verified PDF font embedding on figure vectors, and kept the mandatory Limitations section intact. Please assess if our camera-ready setup is compliant, structured as follows:
[Camera-ready status]
[Meta-review edits]
[Extra-page budget]
[De-anonymization + disclosure]
[Anthology package]

ACL Camera Ready
Use this after ACL (or Findings of ACL) acceptance. Camera-ready quality
controls how the paper looks forever in the ACL Anthology, which is the
permanent open-access record. For ACL 2026 the camera-ready deadline was
April 19, 2026 — confirm the current edition's date in the acceptance email
before planning anything.
The extra page and what it is for
Accepted *ACL papers traditionally receive one additional content page:
long papers up to 9 pages, short papers up to 5. The page exists to address
reviewer and meta-review comments, not to smuggle in a new contribution.
Spend it in priority order: fixes the meta-review asked for, clarifications
reviewers requested, then de-anonymization overhead (author block,
acknowledgements) which consumes real space.
References remain unlimited; the Limitations section remains mandatory
in the camera-ready and still sits outside the page count.
De-anonymization pass
Restore authors, affiliations, and acknowledgements; convert third-person
self-citations ("Smith showed") back to natural first person where clearer.
Replace anonymous supplement links with the permanent public repository,
dataset page, or model card; test every URL logged out.
Add the funding and AI-assistance acknowledgements: ACL policy requires
generative-AI use beyond polishing to be disclosed, with details in the
Acknowledgements matching your Responsible NLP checklist answers.

Use when preparing the ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference, formerly USENIX ATC) camera-ready after a conditional accept — de-anonymizing systematically, folding in the shepherd's required revisions, permanentizing artifact links, completing ACM Open Access metadata and the transition APC, and passing production checks for the November Hong Kong proceedings.
