1 Introduction
31
32 ACM’s consolidated article template, introduced in 2017, provides a consistent LATEX style for use across ACM publications,
33
and incorporates accessibility and metadata-extraction functionality necessary for future Digital Library endeavors.
34
Numerous ACM and SIG-specific LATEX templates have been examined, and their unique features incorporated into this
35
36 single new template.

53 If you are new to publishing with ACM, this document is a valuable guide to the process of preparing your work for
54
publication. If you have published with ACM before, this document provides insight and instruction into more recent
55
56
changes to the article template.
57 The “acmart” document class can be used to prepare articles for any ACM publication — conference or journal, and
58 for any stage of publication, from review to final “camera-ready” copy, to the author’s own version, with very few
59
changes to the source.
60
61
62
2 Template Overview
63 As noted in the introduction, the “acmart” document class can be used to prepare many different kinds of documentation
64
— a double-anonymous initial submission of a full-length technical paper, a two-page SIGGRAPH Emerging Technologies
65
66 abstract, a “camera-ready” journal article, a SIGCHI Extended Abstract, and more — all by selecting the appropriate
67 template style and template parameters.
68 This document will explain the major features of the document class. For further information, the LATEX User’s Guide
69
is available from https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.
70
71
72 2.1 Template Styles
73
The primary parameter given to the “acmart” document class is the template style which corresponds to the kind of
74
75
publication or SIG publishing the work. This parameter is enclosed in square brackets and is a part of the documentclass
76 command:
77
\documentclass[STYLE]{acmart}
78
79 Journals use one of three template styles. All but three ACM journals use the acmsmall template style:
80
81
• acmsmall: The default journal template style.
82 • acmlarge: Used by JOCCH and TAP.
83 • acmtog: Used by TOG.
84
85 The majority of conference proceedings documentation will use the acmconf template style.
86
• sigconf: The default proceedings template style.
87
88
• sigchi: Used for SIGCHI conference articles.
89 • sigplan: Used for SIGPLAN conference articles.
90
91 2.2 Template Parameters
92
93 In addition to specifying the template style to be used in formatting your work, there are a number of template parameters
94 which modify some part of the applied template style. A complete list of these parameters can be found in the LATEX
95 User’s Guide.
96
Frequently-used parameters, or combinations of parameters, include:
97
98 • anonymous,review: Suitable for a “double-anonymous” conference submission. Anonymizes the work and
99
includes line numbers. Use with the \acmSubmissionID command to print the submission’s unique ID on each
100
page of the work.
101
102 • authorversion: Produces a version of the work suitable for posting by the author.
103 • screen: Produces colored hyperlinks.
104 Manuscript submitted to ACM
The Name of the Title Is Hope 3
105 This document uses the following string as the first command in the source file:
106
107
\documentclass[manuscript,screen,review]{acmart}
108
109 3 Modifications
110
Modifying the template — including but not limited to: adjusting margins, typeface sizes, line spacing, paragraph and
111
112
list definitions, and the use of the \vspace command to manually adjust the vertical spacing between elements of your
113 work — is not allowed.
114 Your document will be returned to you for revision if modifications are discovered.
115
116 4 Typefaces
117
118 The “acmart” document class requires the use of the “Libertine” typeface family. Your TEX installation should include
119 this set of packages. Please do not substitute other typefaces. The “lmodern” and “ltimes” packages should not be used,
120
as they will override the built-in typeface families.
121
122
5 Title Information
123
124 The title of your work should use capital letters appropriately - https://capitalizemytitle.com/ has useful rules for
125
capitalization. Use the title command to define the title of your work. If your work has a subtitle, define it with the
126
subtitle command. Do not insert line breaks in your title.
127
128 If your title is lengthy, you must define a short version to be used in the page headers, to prevent overlapping text.
129 The title command has a “short title” parameter:
130
\title[short title]{full title}
131
132
133
6 Authors and Affiliations
134 Each author must be defined separately for accurate metadata identification. As an exception, multiple authors may
135
share one affiliation. Authors’ names should not be abbreviated; use full first names wherever possible. Include authors’
136
137 e-mail addresses whenever possible.
138 Grouping authors’ names or e-mail addresses, or providing an “e-mail alias,” as shown below, is not acceptable:
139
\author{Brooke Aster, David Mehldau}
140
141 \email{dave,judy,[email protected]}
142 \email{[email protected]}
143
The authornote and authornotemark commands allow a note to apply to multiple authors — for example, if the
144
145
first two authors of an article contributed equally to the work.
146 If your author list is lengthy, you must define a shortened version of the list of authors to be used in the page headers,
147 to prevent overlapping text. The following command should be placed just after the last \author{} definition:
148
149
\renewcommand{\shortauthors}{McCartney, et al.}
150 Omitting this command will force the use of a concatenated list of all of the authors’ names, which may result in
151
overlapping text in the page headers.
152
153
The article template’s documentation, available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template, has a
154 complete explanation of these commands and tips for their effective use.
155 Note that authors’ addresses are mandatory for journal articles.

261 of the symbols and structures, from 𝛼 to 𝜔, available in LATEX [24]; this section will simply show a few examples of
262
in-text equations in context. Notice how this equation: lim𝑛→∞ 𝑥 = 0, set here in in-line math style, looks slightly
263
264
different when set in display style. (See next section).
265
266 11.2 Display Equations
267
A numbered display equation—one set off by vertical space from the text and centered horizontally—is produced by the
268
269 equation environment. An unnumbered display equation is produced by the displaymath environment.
270 Again, in either environment, you can use any of the symbols and structures available in LATEX; this section will just
271 give a couple of examples of display equations in context. First, consider the equation, shown as an inline equation
272
above:
273
274 lim 𝑥 = 0 (1)
𝑛→∞
275
Notice how it is formatted somewhat differently in the displaymath environment. Now, we’ll enter an unnumbered
276
equation:
277 ∞
∑︁
278 𝑥 +1
279 𝑖=0
280 and follow it with another numbered equation:
281
∞
∑︁ ∫ 𝜋 +2
282
𝑥𝑖 = 𝑓 (2)
283 0
𝑖=0
284
285
just to demonstrate LATEX’s able handling of numbering.
286
287 12 Figures
288
The “figure” environment should be used for figures. One or more images can be placed within a figure. If your figure
289
290 contains third-party material, you must clearly identify it as such, as shown in the example below.
291 Your figures should contain a caption which describes the figure to the reader.
292 Figure captions are placed below the figure.
293
Every figure should also have a figure description unless it is purely decorative. These descriptions convey what’s in
294
295 the image to someone who cannot see it. They are also used by search engine crawlers for indexing images, and when
296 images cannot be loaded.
297 A figure description must be unformatted plain text less than 2000 characters long (including spaces). Figure
298
descriptions should not repeat the figure caption – their purpose is to capture important information that is
299
300 not already provided in the caption or the main text of the paper. For figures that convey important and complex
301 new information, a short text description may not be adequate. More complex alternative descriptions can be placed in
302 an appendix and referenced in a short figure description. For example, provide a data table capturing the information in
303
a bar chart, or a structured list representing a graph. For additional information regarding how best to write figure
304
305 descriptions and why doing this is so important, please see https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/describing-figures/.
306
307 12.1 The “Teaser Figure”
308
309
A “teaser figure” is an image, or set of images in one figure, that are placed after all author and affiliation information,
310 and before the body of the article, spanning the page. If you wish to have such a figure in your article, place the
311 command immediately before the \maketitle command:

13 Citations and Bibliographies
357
358 The use of BibTEX for the preparation and formatting of one’s references is strongly recommended. Authors’ names
359
should be complete — use full first names (“Donald E. Knuth”) not initials (“D. E. Knuth”) — and the salient identifying
360
features of a reference should be included: title, year, volume, number, pages, article DOI, etc.
361
362 The bibliography is included in your source document with these two commands, placed just before the \end{document}
363 command:
364 Manuscript submitted to ACM
8 Trovato et al.
365 \bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}
366
\bibliography{bibfile}
367
368 where “bibfile” is the name, without the “.bib” suffix, of the BibTEX file.
369 Citations and references are numbered by default. A small number of ACM publications have citations and references
370
formatted in the “author year” style; for these exceptions, please include this command in the preamble (before the
371
372
command “\begin{document}”) of your LATEX source:
373
\citestyle{acmauthoryear}
374
375 Some examples. A paginated journal article [2], an enumerated journal article [10], a reference to an entire issue [9],
376 a monograph (whole book) [23], a monograph/whole book in a series (see 2a in spec. document) [17], a divisible-book
377
such as an anthology or compilation [12] followed by the same example, however we only output the series if the
378
379
volume number is given [13] (so Editor00a’s series should NOT be present since it has no vol. no.), a chapter in a divisible
380 book [35], a chapter in a divisible book in a series [11], a multi-volume work as book [22], a couple of articles in a
381 proceedings (of a conference, symposium, workshop for example) (paginated proceedings article) [3, 15], a proceedings
382
article with all possible elements [34], an example of an enumerated proceedings article [14], an informally published
383
384
work [16], a couple of preprints [6, 7], a doctoral dissertation [8], a master’s thesis: [4], an online document / world
385 wide web resource [1, 28, 36], a video game (Case 1) [27] and (Case 2) [26] and [25] and (Case 3) a patent [33], work
386 accepted for publication [30], ’YYYYb’-test for prolific author [31] and [32]. Other cites might contain ’duplicate’ DOI
387
and URLs (some SIAM articles) [21]. Boris / Barbara Beeton: multi-volume works as books [19] and [18]. A couple of
388
389
citations with DOIs: [20, 21]. Online citations: [36–38]. Artifacts: [29] and [5].
390
391 14 Acknowledgments
392
Identification of funding sources and other support, and thanks to individuals and groups that assisted in the research
393
394
and the preparation of the work should be included in an acknowledgment section, which is placed just before the
395 reference section in your document.
396 This section has a special environment:
397
398 \begin{acks}
399 ...
400
\end{acks}
401
402 so that the information contained therein can be more easily collected during the article metadata extraction phase, and
403 to ensure consistency in the spelling of the section heading.
404
Authors should not prepare this section as a numbered or unnumbered \section; please use the “acks” environment.
405
406
407
15 Appendices
408 If your work needs an appendix, add it before the “\end{document}” command at the conclusion of your source
409
document.
410
411
Start the appendix with the “appendix” command:
412
\appendix
413
414 and note that in the appendix, sections are lettered, not numbered. This document has two appendices, demonstrating
415 the section and subsection identification method.
