ACM Transactions on Algorithms
Information for Authors
Submissions to the TALG is done electronically through http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/talg. Once you are at that site, you will be asked to create an account and password with which you can enter the ACM Manuscript Central manuscript review tracking system. From a drop-down list of journals, choose Transactions on Algorithms and proceed to the Author Center to submit your manuscript and other accompanying files.
For editorial review, the manuscript should be submitted as a PDF or Postscript file. Templates for preparing your paper are available as follows: Word Template Page:http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/word-style-guide and LaTeX Template Page: http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/acm-latex-style-guide.
You will be asked to create an abstract that will be used throughout the system as a synopsis of your paper. An important aspect of preparing your paper for publication by ACM Press is to provide the proper indexing and retrieval information from the ACM Computing Classification System (CCS). This is beneficial to you because accurate categorization provides the reader with quick content reference, facilitating the search for related literature, as well as searches for your work in ACM's Digital Library and on other online resources. Please read the How to classify works using ACM's Computing Classification System for instructions on how to classify your document using the 2012 ACM Computing Classification System and insert the index terms into your LaTeX or Microsoft Word source file.
Authors should be aware of the following ACM Policy on Authorship.
Questions regarding editorial review process should be directed to the Editorial Assistant (Arriane.Bustillo@spi-global.com).
Criteria for Acceptance
ACM Transactions on Algorithms seeks original research papers of lasting value dealing with the mathematical aspects of discrete algorithms. TALG aims to provide coverage of the most significant work in the area of design and analysis of algorithms. Further details can be found by consulting the Aims and Scope statement, the list of Editorial Board members and the Referee Instructions.
Manuscripts must be organized in the standard journal style, including Abstract, Introduction, appropriate technical sections and Bibliography. The Abstract and Introduction taken together must include a clear statement of the research contributions and their significance, as well as a comparison with recent work in the area.
Procedures for Accepted Papers
Once a manuscript is accepted, authors must be certain the final version of their manuscript is uploaded to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/talg for transmission to ACM for publication. This will prevent any possible version confusion. Author communication will then move from the Associate Editor to someone assigned to the author from the post-acceptance production process at ACM. He/she will contact authors directly regarding copyediting and any changes required to prepare for publication.
The final version of an accepted paper must be formatted using the ACM style files, which can be accessed at http://www.acm.org/publications/submissions/.

Please be sure to visit the ACM Author Portal for additional important author information.
ORCID Mandate
As of November 1, 2021, ACM requires that all accepted journal authors register and provide ACM with valid ORCIDs prior to paper publication. Corresponding authors are responsible for collecting these ORCIDs from co-authors and for providing them to ACM as part of the ACM eRights selection process. Please note: ACM only requires you to complete the initial ORCID registration process. However, ACM encourages you to take the additional step to claim ownership of all of your published works via the ORCID site.
ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission and supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities - ensuring that your work receives proper recognition. This requirement will also enable ACM to provide improvements to the ACM Digital Library profile data, aid in the detection of undeclared conflicts of interest and other publications-related misconduct in ACM Publications, assist with the implementation of ACM Open, and offer a host of other researcher benefits to ACM authors and the scientific community.
As corresponding author, you will be required to register for an ORCID when you submit a paper. Your co-authors should also create their individual ORCIDs at that time and add them to their accounts in the manuscript submission system. Otherwise, you will need to enter them individually into the ACM rights system upon paper acceptance and before publication in the ACM Digital Library. Simple instructions for complying with this mandate are provided inside the ACM eRights system.
The ACM ORCID FAQ should answer many of your questions.
ACM Policies
ACM Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects
As a published ACM author, you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM's new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects.
ACM Conflict of Interest (COI) Policy
The ACM Conflict of Interest (COI) Policy describes what a COI is, who is responsible for being aware of such conflicts, how to manage COIs, and how to report violations.
Templates
Manuscripts accepted for publication in any ACM publication must be formatted using the ACM authoring template. Submissions must also use the ACM authoring templates. ACM style files will closely approximate the final output, enabling authors to judge the page-length of their published articles.
ACM authoring templates and detailed instructions on formatting can be found at http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions. For both Word and Latex technical support, contact acmtexsupport@aptaracorp.com.
ACM Computing Classification System (CCS)
If your paper has been accepted, please read the HOW TO CLASSIFY WORKS USING ACM'S COMPUTING CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM for instructions on how to classify your document using the CCS and insert the index terms into your LaTeX or Microsoft Word source file. Providing the proper indexing and retrieval information from the CCS provides the reader with quick content reference, facilitating the search for related literature, as well as searches for your work in ACM's Digital Library and on other online resources.
Author Rights
ACM authors have three ways to manage their publication rights:
A license granting ACM non-exclusive permission to publish—allowing authors to self-manage all rights to their work by choosing to pay for perpetual open access from the ACM Digital Library.
A publishing license agreement granting ACM exclusive publication rights—by granting ACM the right to serve as the exclusive publisher of a work and to manage ongoing rights and permissions associated with the work, including the right to defend it against improper use by third parties. (This license is roughly the equivalent of ACM’s traditional Copyright Transfer Agreement except that the author continues to hold copyright.)
ACM's traditional Copyright Transfer Agreement—for authors comfortable with the existing agreement.
Additionally, ACM authors may post all versions of their work, with the exception of the final published "Version of Record", to non-commercial repositories such as ArXiv. See the ACM Author Rights page for additional information.
Learn more, including about posting to pre-print servers and institutional repositories, by visiting the ACM Author Rights page.
