Research Track Guidelines

Submission Types

LAK25 has been granted ACM In-Cooperation status, therefore, all below templates for Full and Short papers are confirmed. 

Following ACM guidelines, submissions to LAK25 must be in ACM’s one column format.

• Full research papers (up to 16 pages in ACM 1 column format, including references)
• Short research papers (up to 10 pages in ACM 1 column format, including references) 

Preparing Your Full or Short Paper Submission

• Use the ACM 1 column format proceedings template -  
  • For LAK25, we are recommending using LaTeX for your submissions. We have found that LaTeX authors experience fewer upload errors with the TAPS system which is the system that authors will use to upload their final camera ready files. 
• LaTeX template available as:
  • Downloadable zip file or
  • Overleaf template
    • Overleaf is an open-source online real-time collaborative LaTeX editor. The platform automatically compiles the document while an author writes, so the author can see what the finished file will look like in real time. A series of Overleaf Guides are available that can help you in the preparation of your submission.
  • Important information regarding submission versions for review: This is a two-column template. After finalizing the formatting of your paper you need to use the option “manuscript” with \documentclass[manuscript]{acmart} command. This will generate the manuscript in single column review format which is required. Accepted manuscripts will be transformed during production to produce properly formatted output accord to the publication specifications. Authors will be provided the opportunity to review and approve the formatted output before the article is published to the ACM Digital Library.
    • Please review the LaTeX documentation and ACM’s LaTeX best practices guide should you have any questions.
• Microsoft Word template: You will need to install the required libertine font on your machine (zip file, 3.5mb). 
  • • Please note that Microsoft Word is still an acceptable format to use for LAK25, however we have just noted from LAK21 experience that there may be additional time and work required when uploading your final camera ready files. If you are interested in using LaTeX, have reviewed the documentation and still have questions, please reach out to us at lakconference@gmail.com for assistance. 
• Remove all identifying information
  • Research track submissions use the double-blind review process described above. To ensure double-blind review:
    • Submissions should omit author names, affiliations, acknowledgements

• Other details (such as URLs and project/product names that may disclose identity) should also be omitted or disguised . 
• Relevant self-references to authors’ published work that are essential to a proper review should be included, but written in the third person (e.g. “Previous work by Smith [27] has shown…”). The goal and spirit of double-blind review is to create uncertainty about authorship, which is sufficient to realize most of its benefits.

• Pay attention to the page limits for each submission type.
• Upload your submission via LAK25 EasyChair submission system. The submission must be made before the official deadline (23 September 2024, 23:59 GMT-12). There will be no extensions for LAK25.
