Submit via OpenReviewDouble-Blind Reviewing
Every research paper submitted to NLPCC 2026 will undergo a "double-blind" reviewing process: the PC members and referees who review the paper will not know the identity of the authors. To ensure anonymity of authorship, authors must prepare their manuscript as follows:
- Authors' names and affiliations must not appear on the title page or elsewhere in the paper.
- Funding sources must not be acknowledged on the title page or elsewhere in the paper.
- Research group members, or other colleagues or collaborators, must not be acknowledged anywhere in the paper.
- The paper's file name must not identify the authors of the paper. It is strongly suggested that the submitted file be named with the assigned submission number.
- You must also use care when referring to related previous work, particularly your own work, in the paper.
Note: When referring to your own previous work, reference it in the third person to preserve anonymity. Papers that do not follow these guidelines, or otherwise potentially reveal the identity of the authors, are subject to rejection without review.
