It is recommended that authors submit an abstract of their paper by 23 May 2019 thus register their paper for review. In the submission page in START there is a text field where the abstract must be pasted in. The lenght of the abstract should be no more than 200 words. Submitting an abstract in advance is not mandatory but having it earlier than 27th May will help us to plan the review. Submissions are due on 27 May 2019.

• Full papers should not exceed 8 pages (+2 for references).
• Short papers should not exceed 7 pages (+2 for references).
• Poster and demo submissions should be no longer than 6 pages (+2 for references).
  
  

The main body includes text, figures and tables and we allow up to 2 additional pages for references. Poster and demo papers are presented at the conference in joint poster/demo sessions. Papers should be submitted electronically in **PDF** format.

The reviewing process will be blind, except for the demo submissions. The papers must not include the authors' names and affiliations, neither self-references that reveal the authors' identity. Please avoid "We previously proved (James, 2009) ...", and use instead citations such as "James previously proved (James 2009)...". Papers that do not conform with these requirements will be rejected without review.

For demo submissions please provide also author information if available online a link to your demo system.

In order to keep compliance with the ACL anthology RANLP we require that submitted papers follow strictly the ACL template files however please note that the RANLP requirements for paper length are different and you need to comply with what is provided on this page.

Templates:    LaTeX , MS Office

Given this high standard and the limited number of time slots available to present regular papers, it has been agreed that in the event of a significant number of high-quality submissions, regular papers which do not quite meet the highest grade but receive excellent comments and are deemed worthy of being presented will be accepted as short papers and the authors of these papers will be invited to reduce the length of their paper in order to comply with the guidelines of short papers.

Similarly, if a high number of short papers are also received (and given the limited number of time-slots for short papers in the conference programme), authors whose short papers do not receive high enough scores from the reviewers but nevertheless receive positive comments and are deemed worthy of presentation will be invited to revise their submission as a poster paper and showcase their work in poster sessions, thus ensuring that more authors have the opportunity to present their work.

If you want to submit a paper now, please go here.

• The authors of papers accepted should address the reviewers comments and re-submitted a camera-ready version of their paper/s.
• The papers are submitted with the same ID to the START system.
• The manuscripts should follow strictly the ACL based stylesheets, provided above.
• Since we received a high number of very good quality submissions, this year, we decided to distinguish them only by their presentation type - LONG presentations (regular papers), SHORT presentations (short papers), POSTER presentations (poster papers), DEMO presentations (demo papers). All papers should not exceed 8 pages (+2 for references). The main body includes text, figures and tables and we allow up to 2 additional pages for references.
• Poster and demo papers are presented at the conference in joint poster/demo sessions. Papers should be submitted electronically in **PDF** format.
• In addition to the proceedings, we are going to prepare a book of abstract. We shall use for this purpose the abstracts available in START, please make sure that you update your abstract and do not exceed the limit of 1000 characters (including spaces).

If you want to submit you manuscript now, please go here.

The review process is anonymous. Submissions will be reviewed by 3 members of the Programme Committee. Based on the reviewers' scores, the submitted articles will be accepted as:
- REGULAR papers (8 pages in the full conference proceedings and 30 minutes oral presentation in the conference sessions) or as
- SHORT papers (7 pages in the full conference proceedings and 20 minutes oral presentation in the conference sessions), or as - POSTER papers (6 pages in the full conference proceedings and tableau-presentation in poster sessions).
Authors of accepted papers will receive guidelines regarding how to produce camera-ready versions of their papers for inclusion in the proceedings.

The full conference proceedings will be uploaded on the ACL Anthology, and each accepted paper will have a DOI number. A printed version will be made available at the conference if ordered in advance (cost: 40-45 EUR).

Authors may submit the same paper at several conferences. In this case they must notify the organisers in a separate mail to ranlp2019 [ AT ] lml.bas.bg, so we know that the paper might be withdrawn depending on the results at some other conference.

The submission is maintained by the conference management software - START. To make a submission please go here and follow the instruction. In case of a problem, feel free to contact us at the ranlp2019 [AT] lml.bas.bg.

The posters will be presented in special poster sessions. The tableaux will be in format A0, 84 x 119 cm, portrait.
