SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
hree types of submissions are invited: full papers, short papers and MEDIQA shared task participants' reports.

Full papers should not exceed eight (8) pages of text, plus unlimited references. Final versions of full papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account. Full papers are intended to be reports of original research. BioNLP aims to be the forum for interesting, innovative, and promising work involving biomedicine and language technology, whether or not yielding high performance at the moment. This by no means precludes our interest in and preference for mature results, strong performance, and thorough evaluation. Both types of research and combinations thereof are encouraged.

Short papers may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, plus unlimited references. Upon acceptance, short papers will still be given up to five (5) content pages in the proceedings. Appropriate short paper topics include preliminary results, application notes, descriptions of work in progress, etc.

MEDIQA shared task participants reports should conform to the long paper submission guidelines.

Electronic Submission
Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format, using the Softconf START conference management system at https://www.softconf.com/acl2019/bionlp/ We strongly recommend consulting the ACL Policies for Submission, Review, and Citation: https://www.aclweb.org/portal/content/new-policies-submission-review-and-citation and using ACL LaTeX style files tailored for this year's conference. Submissions must conform to the official style guidelines. Please see information about paper formatting requirements and style at http://www.acl2019.org/EN/call-for-papers.xhtml.

Dual submission policy
Papers may NOT be submitted to the BioNLP 2019 workshop if they are or will be concurrently submitted to another meeting or publication.
