- You will receive an email from rightsreview@acm.org containing a link, through which you can choose the copyright option for your paper.
- You will then receive another email from rightsreview@acm.org, containing the exact bibstrip (copyright notice, DOI, ISBN, etc) to include into your camera-ready version.
- Prepare and submit your camera-ready version to HotCRP, following the checklist and instructions below.
Formatting Checklist
Please pay attention to the following rules when formatting your camera-ready version of your paper.
- You must use the ACM SIG Proceedings Format. You can find the latest templates on the ACM’s website.
- You must include as part of the bibstrip, a copyright statement at the bottom of the left column on the first page. The text must be the exact copyright statement that you received from rightsreview@acm.org, after submitting your copyright form to ACM, formatted in 8pt font. Please make sure that the DOI is included as the last line in the bibstrip. Note that the 2012 version of ACM sig-alternate.cls does not support this well, so you can either edit the .cls file, or use an unofficial ACM version of the class file found here.
- The page size must be US Letter.
- You must include categories and subject descriptors, keywords, and general terms in the first page of the paper (after abstract and before introduction). You may refer to the 1998 ACM Classification for the categories and subject descriptors.
- You must use Type-1 fonts for your submission. Do not use Type-3 fonts.
- If you use Adobe Distiller, you can use the ACM Digital Library optimal distiller settings file, ACM.joboptions
- You must embed all fonts in the PDF. ACM has documentation on how to embed your fonts.
- You must avoid orphan lines: no single lines of body text at the bottom or top of a column, no headings without at least two lines of body text at the bottom of a column.
- You must ensure that figures are readable when printed on gray scale printers.
- You must avoid page numbering, headers and footers.
- You must create an optimized PDF file that is compatible with Acrobat 5.0 (PDF1.4).
- You must prevent down-sampling of images.
- Finally, please avoid hyperlinks in your paper. The post-processing that is required for ACM DL is known to produce bad visual quality with the tools that we have available.
