Preparing a submission for Computational Linguistics
Computational Linguistics sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 7 requirements for Computational Linguistics and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select Computational Linguistics, and let it rewrite your text to match: the exact word limits, reference style and structure, so your paper is submission-ready.
If the paper was rejected elsewhere, most of the work in retargeting Computational Linguistics is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow Computational Linguistics's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.
Manuscript types at Computational Linguistics
Computational Linguistics documents its author requirements per manuscript type: Long Papers, Research Article, Short Papers, Squibs and Discussions, Survey Articles. The rules differ between them, so Scraiber applies the set that matches the type you are submitting.
What Computational Linguistics specifies
These are the areas Computational Linguistics writes rules for. Scraiber holds the exact value behind each one and applies it to your draft.
- Length & word limits 2 rules: abstract word limit, page limit.
- Formatting & submission 1 rule: line spacing.
What Scraiber changes in your manuscript
Scraiber rewrites the parts of your draft that Computational Linguistics constrains: it brings sections within the required lengths, converts in-text citations and the bibliography to the required style, adjusts headings and structure, and flags the declarations Computational Linguistics expects. Your argument, results and voice stay yours — only what the journal dictates changes.
