SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. Submissions will be judged on appropriateness, clarity, originality/innovativeness, correctness/soundness, meaningful comparison, thoroughness, significance, contributions to research resources, and replicability. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. Long papers must follow the two-column format of EACL 2014 (see below) and may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus two extra pages for references; final versions should take into account reviewers' comments. Papers will be presented orally or as posters as determined by the program committee. Decisions on presentation format will be based on the nature rather than the quality of the work. There will be no distinction in the proceedings between long papers presented orally and as posters.

The long paper submission deadline is:
- Friday, 18 October 2013, 23:59 CET.

For electronic submission of long papers, please use:

Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. Characteristics of short papers include a small, focused contribution; work in progress; a negative result; an opinion piece; an interesting application nugget. Short papers must follow the two-column format of EACL 2014 (see below).  They will be presented in one or more oral or poster sessions and will be given four (4) pages plus 2 pages for references in the proceedings. While short papers will be distinguished from long papers in the proceedings, there will be no distinction in the proceedings between short papers presented orally and as posters. Each short paper submission will be reviewed by at least two program committee members.

The deadline for submission of short papers is:
- Monday, 6 January 2014, 23:59 CET.

For electronic submission of short papers, please use:
- https://www.softconf.com/eacl2014/shortpapers/

SUBMISSION FORMAT

We strongly recommend the use of EACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files tailored for this year's conference. Submissions must conform to the official style guidelines, which are contained in the style files, and they must be in PDF.  As the reviewing will be blind, papers must not include authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. In addition, please do not post your submissions on the web until after the review process is complete, and please ensure that no author information is encoded in the ‘properties’ of your PDF file.

MULTIPLE SUBMISSION POLICY

EACL 2014 will not accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published at other meetings or in other publications. However, papers that have been or will be submitted elsewhere may be submitted to EACL 2014 provided that this fact is stated at the time of submission. If the paper is accepted by both EACL 2014 and another meeting or publication, it must be withdrawn from one of them; furthermore, its authors must notify the program chairs, within two days of receiving the EACL acceptance notification, indicating which meeting or publication they choose for presentation of their work.
