acmart

acmart is a LaTeX document class produced by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for preparing manuscripts and final versions of ACM publications. It covers journal articles, conference proceedings, and other published materials. The class provides a single, consistent style that handles layout, typography, metadata, and citation formatting, helping authors meet ACM’s publication requirements without modifying underlying content.

The class supports multiple template styles and options. Authors can choose formats suitable for anonymous submissions and for the final, camera-ready versions. Options control aspects such as manuscript format, screen viewing, font choices, and whether the file is intended for conference or journal output.

acmart includes built-in mechanisms for metadata and rights management. Authors specify title, authors, affiliations, and abstract; the class provides DOI, conference or journal information, year, and copyright statements. It also supports ACM Computing Classification System concepts, keywords, a teaser figure, and structured front matter required by ACM venues.

Usage typically begins with the line documentclass{acmart}, followed by metadata declarations and the abstract. The document ends with a bibliography using the ACM reference format (ACM-Reference-Format.bst). The class integrates with common LaTeX workflows and is designed to work with the ACM publication workflow.

acmart has become the standard tool for ACM publications and is distributed with major TeX distributions. It enables consistent appearance across venues and simplifies compliance with ACM’s licensing and metadata requirements.
