Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) - Generic Journal Manuscript Template

This is a sample file for ACM generic journal manuscripts, using acmart.cls v1.77 (2020/04/19). It is provided by the ACM as a template for submissions, and pre-loaded in Overleaf (formerly writeLaTeX) for ease of editing online. Please see the ACM Submission Guidelines page for more details on manuscript preparation.

Important information regarding submission versions for review: After finalizing the formatting of your paper you must use the option “manuscript” with \documentclass[manuscript]{acmart} command. This will generate the output 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.

All journals use acmsmall with the following exceptions:

• acmlarge - Large single column format, used for IMWUT, JOCCH, PACMPL, POMACS, TAP
• acmtog - Large double column format, used for TOG

Note: Most proceedings authors will use the "sigconf" proceedings template. If you are unsure which template variant to use, please request clarification from your event or publication contact.
