This repository contains new LaTeX and Microsoft Word template files for submissions to the Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society, to be used starting with the 2019 conference:
http://www.cognitivesciencesociety.org/conference/cogsci-2019/
New to the 2019 conference, 6-page paper submissions will be reviewed double-blind, so submissions must be anonymized. The template files you will find in this repository have been updated from the template files from previous years reflecting this change to anonymized paper submissions.
The simplest way to download and use these templates is to click on the green Clone or download button at the right-hand side of this page above all the file names, and choose Download ZIP. Alternatively, you can use Git to clone this repository yourself.
Microsoft Word users: please note that the template files are in
.dotx format, not .doc or
.docx format. When you open one of the template files in Word, edit
it and then save it, Word will ask you for a new filename and (by
default) save your paper under that new filename in .docx format.
IMPORTANT UPDATE 15 Jan 2019: fixed a bug in cogsci.sty that apparently
caused trouble in Overleaf. A minimal working example of using the LaTeX
template in Overleaf for the 6-page submission format can be found at
https://v2.overleaf.com/read/wwwzyhdxtyhg; in this example,
cogsci_template.tex has been renamed main.tex and you are off to
the races.
If you are using the Word template, simply replace the How to Make a Proceedings Paper Submission title with the title of your submitted paper, and then replace the formatting instructions
If you are using the LaTeX template, make sure that the
\cogscifinalcopy command is commented out.
In either case, remember that you need to leave at least 2.75 inches between the top of the first page and the abstract & text of your paper. Since the top margin needs to be 1 inch on all pages, this means that there needs to be at least 1.75 inches of space on page 1 in which nothing but your paper title and Anonymous CogSci submission appears. Additionally, please remember not to include acknowledgments in the final version of your paper.
If you are using the Word template, replace Anonymous CogSci
submission with your author list and affiliations. If you are using
the LaTeX template, uncomment the \cogscifinalcopy command and
recompile. The file cogsci_template_final_version_deanonymized.pdf
provides an example of author list & affiliation formatting.
In the final version of the paper, the title, author, abstract, and text of the paper must fit within six pages. Up to one additional page can be used for acknowledgments and references. In the final version of the paper for the proceedings (but not the initial anonymized submission), be sure to include any acknowledgments that may be appropriate.
Once again, make sure that you adhere to the general formatting instructions, including that there are at least 2.75 inches between the top of page 1 and the start of the abstract and text.
