Author Guidelines
The ACM Computing Surveys publishes surveys of and tutorials on areas of computing research or practice. See the Editorial Charter for further details. Contributions should conform to generally accepted practices for scientific papers with respect to organization and style.
Types of Papers
Submissions must be of one of the following types:
Long Survey Paper
A paper that summarizes and organizes recent research results in a novel way that integrates and adds understanding to work in the field. A survey article assumes a general knowledge of the area; it emphasizes the classification of the existing literature, developing a perspective on the area, and evaluating trends.
Short Survey paper
Short survey papers are perspective pieces/essays that are well-focused and written by a leader in the field that usually presents a personal point of view critiquing widespread notions pertaining to a field. A perspective piece can be a review of a concept or a few related concepts.
Tutorial Paper
A paper that organises and introduces work in the field. A tutorial paper assumes its audience is inexpert; it emphasizes the basic concepts of the field and provides concrete example that embody these concepts.
Paper Length
Long survey papers should not normally exceed 35 pages, including references, when formatted using the Surveys style. When justified, additional material may be considered or published in an electronic supplement however in this latter case you will need to go through the manuscript and indicate which pages will form your 35 pages for publication and which pages are for the electronic supplement. Both will be published simultaneously if your manuscript is accepted. Manuscripts of excessive length may be rejected without review. Shorter survey papers should be self-contained and not exceed 15pp in length including references when formatted using the Surveys style.
ACM Policies
Prior Publication Policy
The papers appearing in ACM journals are normally original contributions that have not been published elsewhere. Widely disseminated conference proceedings and newsletters are a form of publication, although they are usually only semiarchival and often unrefereed. Publication, or republication, of a (perhaps revised) paper that has been widely disseminated is permitted only if the editor judges that (a) the revision contains significant amplification or clarification of the original material or (b) there is a significant additional benefit to be gained from journal publication. In either case, prior appearance should be noted on the title page of the paper.

Manuscript Preparation
Authors are required to prepare and submit their manuscripts electronically. This facilitates both a quicker editorial review process as well as faster and more accurate processing of accepted papers.
Computing Surveys permits electronic submissions for editorial review only in LaTeX, or MS Word format. Use of the ACM Journals/Transactions LaTeX style is encouraged to ensure proper formatting. It includes explicit support for ACM Computing Surveys. ACM also admits other formats for electronic submission of papers, including Microsoft Word.
To ensure proper indexing, classification, retrieval and dissemination, authors must include the following in the manuscript:
Descriptive title
Author names and affiliations
Abstract
Content indicators
Citations to relevant literature
Guidelines for the preparation of this material follow.
Descriptive Title
Select a title that accurately and clearly tells what the paper is about. Choose title terms as specific as content and emphasis of the paper permit. Avoid special symbols and formulas in titles unless essential to indicate content.
Author Names and Affiliations
Authors' names should be given without titles or degrees along with the name and address of the organization for which the work was carried out. A footnote on the first page should acknowledge funding sources and presentations, if any, of the material at technical meetings (give dates and sponsoring societies). The author's current address should be given in a footnote on the first page.
Abstract
The abstract should be at most 100 words long and consist of short, direct sentences. It should state the objectives of the work, summarize the results, and give the principal conclusions. The title need not be repeated. Because abstracts are extracted and used separately, do not use the first person, do not display mathematics, and do not use citation reference numbers. Try to avoid starting with the words "This paper ..."
Content Indicators
Three types of content indicators must be assigned: (1) general terms, (2) subject descriptors, and (3) keywords and phrases. The first two items are selected from the 2012 ACM Computing Classification Scheme. Select as many of these as may be applicable.
The keywords and phrases are additional English language words that indicate the content of the submission. They should not be synonymous with those already in the classification system: they can be more specific than the subject descriptors, or they may not be covered by the existing system at all. The following guidelines may be helpful.
Use important terms from the title; include their synonyms, related words and words of higher or lower generic rank.
Use English nouns, or noun-noun and noun-adjective combinations; do not use hyphens unless the hyphenated parts are alwaystreated as a single unit.
Use specific terms whose meanings are generally accepted; do not use broad catchall terms (such as "computer", "automatic", "machine", "system", "discussion", "description"); do not use private terms or acronyms that may not be generally known.
Do not use negative terms stressing what your paper does not do.
Citations
Citations must follow the guidelines found within the ACM templates information.
