Camera-Ready Instructions
To prepare the camera ready version of your paper, you need to do the following:
ACM eRights and final submission
- Authors will receive an email regarding the eRight process to fill out the copyright form.
- After authors complete their e-Rights forms, they will receive a separate email from ACM TAPS (tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com). This will contain instructions on how to upload your source, supplementary, and auxiliary files for processing.
- This instructional video on the new ACM TAPS workflow contains useful information.
Formatting
- Page limit: The final camera-ready version should include at most 20 pages for technical content (including figures, tables and references). The pages should be single-spaced, 8.5" x 11" with 9-pt font size.
- Template: Please use the ACM Primary Article template. Use the MANUSCRIPT option to generate a single column version of your draft (\documentclass[manuscript]{acmart}).
- See here for more details on general instructions for using the ACM template.
- After completion of the ACM eRights form, you will receive another email from rightsreview@acm.org which contains the commands that need to be inserted into your final LaTeX file in order to generate the proper rights statement and Bibstrip data.
