Reuse an ACL template for EMNLP?

Same family—still use that year’s EMNLP/ARR official files, not an old foreign pack.

Missed the commit deadline?

Wait for the next ARR cycle or EMNLP edition.

No—the review draft should stand alone; appendices may go unread.

Same *ACL tradition: long 8 / short 4, unlimited refs, +1 if accepted. Limitations required and uncounted.

Missing Limitations or over-length rejects. Confirm that year’s EMNLP CFP—do not copy another ACL year’s numbers.

Double-blind like ACL. Papers typically arrive via ARR, then commit. Follow ACL ethics and the ARR responsible-NLP checklist.

Negative findings and resources are in scope—explain design and failure modes, not just “no gain”.
