Full papers are limited to 8 pages for content, with 2 additional pages for references. - Short Papers may describe either work in progress or a research proposal. They may also be in the style of a position paper that surveys and criticizes existing literature. Short papers must include clear directions for future research. Submissions of this type are limited to 6 pages for content, with 2 additional pages for references.

All papers must be submitted in .pdf format through the START system (https://softconf.com/ranlp23/ranlp2023stud/) . The papers should follow the format of the main conference, described at the RANLP website (http://ranlp.org/), Submissions page.
