We help you prepare your own computing paper for ACM journals and proceedings, using the acmart class, correct CCS concepts, ACM reference format and properly anonymised review versions.

ACM manuscript support at Shodhyantri is for computing researchers who target ACM journals, Transactions and conferences sponsored by ACM and its Special Interest Groups. ACM uses a single LaTeX class, acmart, with different formats for proceedings and journals, and asks authors to classify work using the ACM Computing Classification System. Small errors in these elements are common and easy to fix before review.
Paper ready to submit? Our ACM publication support covers journal selection, submission and reviewer responses.
We support M.Tech, MCA and PhD scholars across India and international authors in computer science, software engineering, HCI, data science and security. Your code, experiments, results and claims remain yours. We edit English, tighten structure, prepare the acmart source and the anonymised version, and check references. Every change is tracked or annotated for you to approve before the paper goes to the venue.
ACM's acmart class supports formats such as sigconf for many conference proceedings and acmsmall or acmlarge for journals and Transactions. Options like anonymous and review help produce a blind, line-numbered version for peer review. Word templates also exist, and final accepted papers pass through ACM's production workflow, known as TAPS, which needs clean, standard source.
Each paper includes CCS concepts chosen from the ACM Computing Classification System, author keywords and an ACM Reference Format block generated by the class. Conferences usually set their own page limits and submission sites, such as HotCRP or similar systems, while journals use their own manuscript systems. Many ACM venues also encourage artifact availability for reproducibility.
Using sigconf where a journal needs acmsmall, or the reverse, changes layout and page counts. We set the correct format for your venue.
Picking concepts at random weakens classification. We help you choose CCS concepts and significance levels that reflect your contribution honestly.
Self-references, repository links and acknowledgements can reveal identity. We prepare an anonymised version that respects the venue's double-blind rules.
Conference papers that exceed limits may be rejected without review. We tighten text and figures to fit while keeping your argument intact.
Non-standard packages and manual spacing hacks can fail in ACM production. We keep your source compatible with the acmart and TAPS workflow.
We edit, structure and format. Experiments, code and conclusions stay your own, with every change visible for you to accept.
Ten stages, each with a clear output. Nothing moves to the next stage until you have reviewed the last one.
— You review every stage first, then decide —
Confirm format, page limit, anonymity policy and supplementary material rules for the specific ACM venue.
Check the introduction states clear, testable contributions that the evaluation section actually supports.
Verify CCS concepts and keywords describe the paper's main area and not peripheral topics.
Confirm datasets, baselines, metrics and settings are described enough for others to reproduce.
Search text, figures, links, metadata and acknowledgements for anything that reveals author identity.
Confirm the source uses supported packages and compiles cleanly with the current acmart class.
Every stage is shared with notes explaining what was changed and why. You and your supervisor check it, and the next stage starts only after your go-ahead.
| Common problem | How Shodhyantri helps |
|---|---|
| Using an outdated acmart version copied from an older project. | Download the current acmart class from ACM or CTAN, and compile with it before final edits. |
| Leaving the default sample CCS concepts from the template in the paper. | Generate CCS concepts for your own work using the ACM classification tool and replace template examples. |
| Linking to a personal GitHub repository in a double-blind submission. | Use an anonymous repository service or state that code will be released after review, as the venue allows. |
| Reducing font size or margins to meet the page limit. | Keep template settings unchanged and shorten text, combine figures or move details to an appendix if permitted. |
| Describing the evaluation without baselines, datasets or hardware details. | State datasets, baselines, metrics, hardware and parameter settings clearly so reviewers can judge and reproduce results. |
| Adding packages that change fonts or spacing in the acmart class. | Avoid layout-changing packages, and check any extra package against ACM's accepted package list. |
Each ACM conference sets its own limits, anonymity rules and appendix policy; follow the call over general templates.
A short numbered list of contributions in the introduction helps reviewers see exactly what is new.
Choose a few concepts that truly match the work, marking the main one with the higher significance level.
Compile with the review option to add line numbers, which helps reviewers comment precisely.
Prepare code and data for sharing during the project, which makes artifact evaluation and reproducibility easier.
Check that plot labels and legends are readable when the PDF is printed at actual size.
Include DOIs for ACM Digital Library and other references so links resolve correctly after publication.
Recompile with the current acmart release before submission to catch deprecation warnings or layout changes.
Your work is handled by people who read your field's literature, not by a single generalist.
A PhD-qualified specialist from your field who checks the research logic, gap and contribution.
Handles statistics, models and qualitative coding, and documents every analytical decision.
Improves structure, flow, clarity and academic tone without changing your meaning.
Builds and validates MATLAB, Python, ANSYS or COMSOL work where your study needs it.
Checks grammar, consistency, numbering, citations and the small errors examiners notice.
Applies your university or journal template, reference style and front matter exactly.
Many ACM conference proceedings use sigconf, while journals and Transactions often use acmsmall or acmlarge. The venue's call for papers or author guidelines state the format. We set acmart to the correct format and options so your paper matches the venue.
They are terms from the ACM Computing Classification System that describe the subject of your paper, each marked with a significance level. ACM uses them for indexing in the Digital Library. We suggest concepts based on your content, and you confirm the final selection.
Yes. We configure the anonymous option, remove author names and affiliations, rephrase self-citations as the venue requires, and check links, acknowledgements and figure metadata. You remain responsible for confirming the final file meets the venue's anonymity policy.
No. ACM conferences and journals decide through peer review and programme committees, and acceptance cannot be promised. We help your paper present its contributions clearly and comply with the venue's rules, so reviewers can judge it fairly.
Yes. ACM offers Word templates as well as LaTeX. If your venue accepts Word, we can format your paper in the ACM Word template. Most computing venues prefer LaTeX, so we can also convert your Word draft to acmart.
We do not run or verify your code. We check that your evaluation section describes datasets, baselines, metrics and settings clearly, and we suggest how to present artifacts. Reproducibility of the actual results remains your responsibility.
Our separate ACM publication support covers choosing a venue, using the submission system, tracking reviews, writing rebuttals and responses, revising and preparing final camera-ready steps. This page covers preparing the manuscript itself to ACM standards before submission.
We provide research guidance, statistical analysis, editing, formatting and training support. All research content remains the scholar's own work, in line with UGC and university academic integrity norms. We do not guarantee publication, acceptance, indexing or academic outcomes: journals decide through peer review and universities award degrees.
Share your topic, draft or data. We will tell you honestly what it needs, and what it does not, before you pay anything.
