Frequently Asked Questions

What is TAPS?

TAPS is ACM's publishing system. It builds the final PDF and HTML from your LaTeX source, so the source has to compile there without errors.

Where does the rights block come from?

From the eRights email ACM sends after you complete the rights form. Send it to us and we place it in the paper.

Can you write the alt text for my figures?

Yes. We write a description for each figure with \Description, which ACM requires for the HTML version.

Formatting to ACM's requirements

The Right ACM Template for Your Venue

ACM uses one template, acmart, with several different layouts such as sigconf, acmsmall, and sigplan, and each conference and journal has its own. We set up the one your venue asks for, in the review or camera-ready version you need.

CCS Concepts & Rights Block

CCS concepts from the ACM Computing Classification System added for your paper's subject, and the rights block from your ACM eRights email placed where it belongs, both required for camera-ready papers.

Figures, Tables & Alt Text

Figures and tables placed with ACM captions, and alt text written into every figure with \Description, which ACM requires because papers are published as HTML as well as PDF.

ACM Reference Format

References formatted in the ACM Reference Format with the ACM-Reference-Format.bst style, and every in-text citation checked against the reference list.

Affordable, high-quality ACM formatting pricing

Most ACM venues accept LaTeX. If your venue only provides a Word template or requires a .docx file, see Word formatting below.
