Instructions for EMNLP 2021 Proceedings

Anonymous EMNLP submission

Abstract\usepackage[review]{emnlp2021}

This document is a supplement to the general
instructions for *ACL authors. It contains instructions for using the LATEX style files for
EMNLP 2021. The document itself conforms
to its own specifications, and is therefore an
example of what your manuscript should looklike. These instructions should be used bothfor papers submitted for review and for final
versions of accepted papers.

These instructions are for authors submitting papers to EMNLP 2021 using LATEX. They are notself-contained. All authors must follow the general instructions for *ACL proceedings,1 as wellas guidelines set forth in the EMNLP 2021 call forpapers. This document contains additional instructions for the LATEX style files.
The templates include the LATEX source of thisdocument (emnlp2021.tex), the LATEX style
file used to format it (emnlp2021.sty), an
ACL bibliography style (acl_natbib.bst),
an example bibliography (custom.bib),and the bibliography for the ACL Anthology(anthology.bib).

Introduction(Alternatives like txfonts or newtx are also acceptable.)
Please see the LATEX source of this document forcomments on other packages that may be useful.
Set the title and author using \title and\author. Within the author list, format multiple
authors using \and and \And and \AND; please
see the LATEX source for examples.
By default, the box containing the title and author names is set to the minimum of 5 cm. If
you need more space, include the following in thepreamble:

040\setlength\titlebox{<dim>}052

where <dim> is replaced with a length. Do not set
this length smaller than 5 cm.

To produce a PDF file, pdfLATEX is strongly recommended (over original LATEX plus dvips+ps2pdf ordvipdf). XeLATEX also produces PDF files, and is
especially suitable for text in non-Latin scripts.

Use \appendix before any appendix section toswitch the section numbering over to letters. SeeAppendix A for an example.

Users of older versions of LATEX may encounter thefollowing error during compilation:

064

Hyperlinks\pdfendlink ended up in
different nesting level
than \pdfstartlink.

065
066
067

070

This happens when pdfLATEX is used and a citation
splits across a page boundary. The best way to fix
this is to upgrade LATEX to 2018-12-01 or later.

Table 2 shows the syntax supported by the stylefiles. We encourage you to use the natbib styles.
You can use the command \citet (cite in text)
to get “author (year)” citations, like this citation toa paper by Gusfield (1997). You can use the command \citep (cite in parentheses) to get “(author, year)” citations (Gusfield, 1997). You can use
the command \citealp (alternative cite withoutparentheses) to get “author, year” citations, which
is useful for using citations within parentheses (e.g.
Gusfield, 1997).

The LATEX and BibTEX style files provided roughly
follow the American Psychological Association format. If your own bib file is named custom.bib,then placing the following before any appendices inyour LATEX file will generate the references section

You can obtain the complete ACL Anthology as a BibTEX file from https://aclweb.
org/anthology/anthology.bib.gz. To
include both the Anthology and your own .bib file,
use the following instead of the above.

Unicode cannot be used in BibTEX entries, andsome ways of typing special characters can disrupt
BibTEX’s alphabetization. The recommended wayof typing special characters is shown in Table 1.
Please ensure that BibTEX records contain DOIs
or URLs when possible, and for all the ACL materials that you reference. Use the doi field for
DOIs and the url field for URLs. If a BibTEX
entry has a URL or DOI field, the paper title in thereferences section will appear as a hyperlink to thepaper, using the hyperref LATEX package.
