Author Guidelines for Student Research Workshop Papers

General Guidelines

EACL SRW 2026 will adhere to the ARR submission requirements except for “Multiple Submission Policy”, “Resubmission Policy”, “Withdrawal Policy”, and “Reviewing Requirements”. Specifically, the requirements include:

• Long Papers (8 pages) and Short Papers (4 pages)
• Instructions for Two-Way Anonymized Review
• Authorship
• Citation and Comparison
• Ethics Policy (excluding the responsible NLP research checklist)
• AI Writing/Coding Assistance Policy
• Limitations
• Paper Submission Process, Criteria and Templates
• Desk Rejection
• Optional Supplementary Materials: Appendices, Software, and Data

Additionally, submissions should also conform to the following:

Student Status Proof

We require the first author of papers during submission to provide proof of student status. To facilitate this, we encourage first authors to prepare the necessary document in advance. The following types of proof are acceptable:

• A picture of your student card
• A study enrollment document from your current institution
• A transcript of your study

Double Submission

Papers that have been or will be submitted to other venues must indicate this at submission time, and must be withdrawn from the other venues if accepted to EACL SRW 2026. Authors submitting more than one paper to EACL 2026 must ensure that the submissions do not overlap significantly (>25%) with each other. A given paper may only be submitted to a single EACL 2026 track (Main, Industry, SRW or Demos); any paper found to be submitted to more than one track will be rejected by all tracks. Resubmission to an appropriate workshop that follows the main conference is not affected by this policy.
