Submission templates for the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society.
Templates are available in three formats, described in the LaTeX, Typst, and Microsoft Word sections below. The directory corresponding to each format contains templates for 6-page full papers and 2-page short summaries, along with examples of the compiled PDFs.
Beginning in 2019, 6-page full paper submissions are reviewed double-blind, so submissions must be anonymized. The policy for double-blind reviews is strictly enforced. Ensure your submissions are anonymized before submission.
In the initial submission, full papers can be no longer than six pages plus an unlimited number of pages for references. In the final submission, full papers (including the title and authors) can be no longer than six pages plus an unlimited number of pages for acknowledgments and references.
The text of the paper should be formatted in two columns with an overall width of 7 inches and length of 9.25 inches, with 0.25 inches between the columns. Leave two line spaces between the last author affiliation and the text of the paper; the text of the paper (starting with the abstract) should begin no less than 2.75 inches below the top of the page. The left margin should be 0.75 inches and the top margin should be 1 inch.
An online proceedings will be published by the Cognitive Science Society. At the time of final (camera-ready) submission, authors will be required to agree to release their proceedings contribution under a CC-BY license. This means that authors allow free reuse of their work provided the original authors are attributed.
Files in the latex/ directory include:
cogsci_full_paper_template.tex— 6-page full paper template (anonymized PDF, deanonymized PDF)cogsci_2page_short_summary_template.tex— 2-page short summary template (PDF)cogsci_bibliography_template.bib— example BibLaTeX bibliographycogsci.sty— style file (used by the .tex files; you shouldn't modify it)
Anonymization: The full paper template anonymizes authors by default. Use \cogscifinalcopy to deanonymize the final camera-ready version.
For convenience, this template is also available on Overleaf.
Files in the typst/ directory include:
cogsci_full_paper_template.typ— 6-page full paper template (anonymized PDF, deanonymized PDF)cogsci_2page_short_summary_template.typ— 2-page short summary template (PDF)cogsci_bibliography_template.bib— example BibLaTeX bibliography
These templates use the official style from the Typst Universe: cogsci-conference.
Templates require the fonts TeX Gyre Termes and TeX Gyre Termes Math, which are distributed under the GUST Font License (GFL). The Typst web app includes these fonts automatically. For local usage, this repository includes OTF files in typst/fonts/. You can install the fonts system-wide or pass the fonts directory path to the compiler (see below).
Anonymization: The full paper template is initialized to anonymize authors. Set anonymize: false to deanonymize the final camera-ready version.
The cogsci-conference template is available in the Typst web app. To use it, click the "Create project in app" button on the Typst Universe cogsci-conference page.
If you're using Typst locally, you might find the Tinymist Typst VS Code Extension (the Tinymist extension for Visual Studio Code) convenient.
To compile the PDF, use the Typst CLI or the Tinymist extension.
Typst PDF Compilation
With the Typst CLI:
typst compile --font-path fonts --pdf-standard a-3u cogsci_full_paper_template.typIf the required fonts are installed system-wide, you can omit --font-path. Otherwise, use --font-path <path-to-fonts-dir> to specify a directory containing the OTF files. With the Tinymist Typst VS Code Extension, specify the font directory with the tinymist.fontPaths setting (see the Tinymist documentation for details).
Specifying a PDF standard like --pdf-standard a-3u is optional but ensures that the PDF text is searchable.
Files in the word/ directory include:
cogsci_full_paper_template.dotx— 6-page full paper template (anonymized PDF, deanonymized PDF)cogsci_2page_short_summary_template.dotx— 2-page short summary template (PDF)
The template files are in .dotx format (not .docx). When you open, edit, and save a template, Word will prompt you to save the edited version as a .docx file.
Anonymization: The full paper template is initialized with deanonymized authors. Be sure to anonymize the initial submission and ensure that the text of the paper (starting with the abstract) begins no less than 2.75 inches below the top of the page.
