1 INTRODUCTION
ACM's manuscript submission template aims to provide consistent styles for use across ACM publications, and
incorporates metadata necessary for Digital Library endeavors. Numerous ACM and SIG-specific templates have been
examined, and their unique features incorporated into this template.
The ACM “Submission Template” is a single column MS-Word document that allows authors to write their content
into the pre-existing set of formatting styles on the sample of placeholder text here, or copy-and-paste their text and
then apply the respective paragraph styles (Windows: you can open the Styles task pane from the Home tab [it can
also be opened with the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S]; MAC16: you can access the Styles pane at the right of

* Corresponding author.
*
the Home toolbar.) Highlight a section that you want to designate with a certain style, and then select the appropriate
style from the list. To view which style is being used in any part of this document, place your cursor on your text and
look at the “Current style” field in the Styles pane.
It is beneficial to create your document in draft mode with the style panel open in the left-side panel. If the panel is
not immediately visible when the Submission Template is opened, you will need to open the panel manually—for
Windows: click on the following from the main ribbon above: File > Options > Advanced > Display > Style area pane
width in Draft and Outline views.
All style elements are specified in this template to facilitate the production of your paper. The paragraph styles
examples are provided throughout this document. Save and backup your work regularly!

1.1 Accessibility
Following the guidelines throughout this template will also improve the accessibility of your manuscript and increase
the audience for your work. Ensure that heading styles are applied as instructed, tables are created using Word’s table
feature (rather than an image), figures have a description text, and list styles are applied.
To increase the accessibility of your manuscript, you may set the title and language metadata. On Word for
Windows, open the File tab and click on Info. On Word for Mac, click the File Menu and select Properties, then click
the Summary tab. Fill in the title of your document. For anonymous review, clear the ‘author’ field.
To set the document language, click the Review tab in the Ribbon. On Word for Windows: Click the Language
button and select “Set Proofing Language.” Verify the language is set correctly. On Word for Mac: Click the Language
button and select the document language from the pop-up.

1.2 More about the submission template

This submission version of your paper should remain in a one-column format, please do not alter any of the styles or
margins.
If a paper is accepted for publication, authors will be instructed on the next steps. Authors must then follow the
submission instructions.

1.3 Inserting CCS concepts

The template enables you to import required indexing concepts for your article from the ACM Computing
Classification System (CCS) using an indexing support tool found in the ACM Digital Library (DL). The tool generates
formatted text after you have selected your terms. To insert CCS terms into your document, copy and paste the
formatted text from the CCS tool using the “https://dl.acm.org/ccs/ccs.cfm” link into the “CCS CONCEPTS” section.
An additional step is necessary to ensure that the proper CCS terms are added to the Digital Library citation page:
from the “view CCS TeX Code” listing, click on “Show the XML Only.” Highlight and copy the XML code from the
window. You must insert the XML code into your Word document’s properties: from your Word document, click on
“File”, then click on the “Info” tab on the left-hand side panel, then click “Properties” and select “Show All
Properties.” Click within the “Comments” metadata field and paste the XML data.

2 INSERTING CONTENT ELEMENTS

The next subsections provide instructions on how to insert figures, tables, and equations in your document.

2
2.1 Tables
Tables should be inserted after their first text reference. Authors can insert tables by using the MS Word option
(INSERT ->Table) and providing the required row and column size. Every table must have a caption (title) above it,
which must have the “TableCaption” style applied. As an example, Table 1 shows the styles available in this
template, to be applied to the respective element of your text.

math equations, lists etc.
DisplayFormula numbered math equation
DisplayFormulaUnnum unnumbered equations Label label

A key to making data tables readable is to identify column and row headers. Below are the steps to do this:

1. Select that table’s row, then right-click the row and select “Table Properties”;
2. In the Table Properties window, click the Row tab and select the box that says “Repeat as header row at the top of
each page.”

Or
Apply the “table head” style by highlighting the respective row and applying the “TableHead” style found in the
“Body Element” section of the ACM Template.

2.2 Figures
Figures should be inserted after their first text reference. Insert a figure and apply the “Image” style to it. For the
figure caption, apply the style “FigureCaption.”
To accommodate color vision differences, figures should still be usable when printed in grayscale. Refer to elements
of the figure with non-color terms, for example “indicated as squares” instead of “indicated in blue”. Use different

3
patterns in bar charts, different line patterns in graphs, and different shapes in plots to distinguish groups of elements
and reinforce color differences.

2.2.1 Half Width Figures.

Figure 1 is an example of a figure and caption spanning the half-page width. If your figure contains third-party
material, you must clearly identify it as such, as shown in the example below.

Inc. [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons. (https://goo.gl/VLCRBB)

2.2.2 Full Width Figures.

Figure 2 is an example of a figure and caption spanning the full-page width with the styles applied. If your figure
contains third-party material, you must clearly identify it as such, as shown in the example.

2.2.3 Figure Descriptions.

Every figure should have a description. Figure descriptions should not repeat the figure caption – their purpose is to
capture important information that is not provided in the caption. For figures that convey important information, a
short plain text description may not be adequate. More complex alternative descriptions can be placed in an appendix
and referenced in a short figure description. For example, provide a data table capturing the information in a bar chart,
or a structured list representing a graph. For additional information regarding how best to write figure descriptions,
please see https://www.acm.org/accessibility.

2.3 Quotations and Extracts

There are styles for block quotations, which should be used for quotes that are separated from in-line text. Below is an
example.

“Microsoft tried to revive the idea of an assistant with Clippy, who began popping up in Microsoft Office in
1997. Its creator, Kevan Atteberry, was actually contracted by Microsoft to design Clippy, which, funnily
enough, he did on a Mac … Sure, people could disable Clippy, but the fact he was on by default angered
people.” [10]

2.4 Equations
There are two types of math equations: the numbered display math equation and the un-numbered display math
equation. Below are examples of both.

2.4.1 DisplayFormula.
The DisplayFormula style is applied in the numbered math equation. A numbered display equation always has an
equation number (label) on the right.

x=−b ± √ b −4 ac
2
(1)
2a
2.4.2 DisplayFormula.Unnum.
The DisplayFormulaUnnum style is applied only in unnumbered equations. An unnumbered display equation does
not contains an equation number on the right.

x=−b ± √ b2−4 ac
2a
Please note: the subsequent text after the DisplayFormula (numbered equation) or DisplayFormulaUnnum
(unnumbered equation) must have the paragraph style ParaContinue applied.

2.5 Math statements

Math statements should have the “Statement” style applied.
Theorem/Proof/Lemma. Math statements should have the “Statement” style applied. This paragraph is an example
of the “Statement” style.

2.6 Algorithms
Algorithms use the styles “AlgorithmCaption” and “Algorithm”.

ALGORITHM 1: Iterative Algorithm
