ACLPUB package

This is the official ACLPUB package for *ACL conferences. Its primary role is to package up the PDF files, BibTeX files, and optional extra files into a format that can be ingested by the ACL Anthology. Documentation can found under docs/ and view on the web. The latest version can always be found on Github.

Instructions for START

Softconf's STARTv2 system is the main system used for conference management within the ACL community. It includes extensive integration around the ACLPUB package. Information about how to use ACLPUB within START can be found here.

ACLPUB can also be run from the command line, which facilitates use with third-party conference management software.
