name: eacl-camera-ready description: Use when preparing an EACL or Findings-of-ACL-EACL camera-ready after commitment acceptance, covering the extra content page, de-anonymization, AI-assistance disclosure, satisfying the meta-review's required changes, ACL Anthology metadata and CC BY licensing, registration and presentation obligations, and the public artifact release.

EACL Camera-Ready

Use this once a paper is accepted at commitment to EACL (main conference or Findings of ACL: EACL). The camera-ready is a short, high-stakes window: for EACL 2027 the ARR notification was November 12, 2026 and camera-ready was due November 26, 2026. Reopen the edition's camera-ready instructions and the ACL Anthology policy pages before finalizing.

Spend the extra page well

• Long and short papers each get one additional content page at camera-ready (up to 9 / 5). Use it to pay down the debts reviewers named: a promised ablation, a clearer error analysis, a fuller multilingual result — not filler.
• The Limitations section stays outside the page budget; expand it if review surfaced new caveats, and keep it honest.

De-anonymize cleanly

Item	Camera-ready action
Author names / affiliations	Add on the title block; confirm order (author list is frozen from commitment)
Acknowledgements	Add funding, grants, compute credits
"Anonymous prior work" citations	Restore the real citations
Repo / dataset links	Point to the public, de-anonymized release
PDF metadata	Regenerate so it matches the deanonymized authors

Remember the commitment rule: author membership cannot change after commitment (order may). Do not add a "forgotten" co-author at camera-ready.

Satisfy the meta-review

• The action editor's meta-review often lists required or expected changes. Treat these as a checklist and make each change visibly; camera-ready is where the acceptance conditions are honored.
• Disclose AI assistance consistent with the Responsible NLP checklist answer you filed — the camera-ready and the checklist must agree.

ACL Anthology metadata

Metadata to get right for the Anthology record:
  - Title: correct casing; math/diacritics render (European-language names, é/ø/ł/ş, etc.)
  - Authors: full names, correct order, ORCID if requested, affiliations
  - Abstract: matches the PDF abstract
  - License: CC BY 4.0 (standard for post-2016 *ACL material)
  - Venue line: names the correct EACL edition or "Findings ... EACL"

Diacritics and non-ASCII author names are common in the European community — verify they render in the final Anthology entry rather than assuming the PDF is enough.

Registration and presentation

• At least one author must register and present (in person or in the hybrid format the edition offers). Camera-ready acceptance does not substitute for registration.
• Prepare the required presentation format (oral/poster) as assigned; confirm the slot and any video/upload requirement on the edition's program pages.

Public artifact release

• Flip the anonymized ARR supplement into a public release: real repo URL, license, a version tag matching the camera-ready, and a README that reproduces the headline table.
• See eacl-artifact-evaluation for packaging and eacl-reproducibility for the claims audit the release should pass.

Final checklist

[ ] Extra page used for substance, not filler
[ ] De-anonymized: authors, acknowledgements, citations, links, metadata
[ ] Author list unchanged from commitment (order-only edits ok)
[ ] Meta-review required changes all made
[ ] AI-assistance disclosure matches the checklist
[ ] Anthology metadata correct incl. diacritics and license
[ ] Registration done; presentation format prepared
[ ] Public artifact released and versioned
