New TACL co-Editors-in-Chief
Roi Reichart and Asli Celikyilmaz have been selected to be co-Editors-in-Chief (co-EiCs) of TACL, which will bring the number of co-EiCs to three (along with Ani Nenkova) when Brian Roark finishes his term at the end of 2022. Congratulations to Roi and Asli!
The temporary expansion to three co-EiCs will last until the end of Ani Nenkova's term in 2024, when TACL will revert to its standard 2 co-EiCs. The expansion is in support of initiatives that require effort beyond the regular operation of the journal.
TACL's first impact factor
New TACL co-Editor-in-Chief
Ani Nenkova has been selected to be a co-Editor-in-Chief (co-EiC) of TACL, alongside continuing co-EiCs Mark Johnson and Brian Roark. Congratulations to Ani!
Lillian Lee has been at the helm of TACL since nearly its inception and will continue as co-EiC until the end of the calendar year, but we can still express an early "thanks very much" to her for all she has done for TACL!

TACL implements new ACL policies for Jan 1, 2018 (Dec 1 = 1st anonymity period)
The ACL has adoped new policies for *ACL conferences and TACL regarding submission and review; these are listed here.
These policies go into effect for the Jan 1st, 2018 TACL submission round. This implies that submissions for the Jan 1st round must obey its corresponding anonymity window, which begins December 1st, 2017.
Change/clarification to policy on conference resubmissions
Policy regarding papers withdrawn from conferences
The "Resubmission Policy for ACL, EACL, NAACL, EMNLP Conference Submissions" has been revised to clarify the status of papers withdrawn from conferences.
The short version is: "TACL considers papers that were reviewed by a conference and not accepted, such as papers that were withdrawn during an author response period before an official decision was received, to have been rejected from the conference."
See the Author Guidelines for the full version.
Instructions changed for resubmission of (b)s
There has been a slight change to how revisions of (b) papers should be resubmitted: by email instead of system upload. The protocol for revisions of (c) papers remains the same - via the system.
Updated instructions are at the "Revision and Resubmission Policy for TACL Submissions" section of the instructions.
TACL submission style files updated
New editors-in-chief
With the expiration of Michael Collins' term as co-editor-in-chief of TACL, Mark Johnson and Kristina Toutanova have been selected to be co-editors-in-chief together with continuing co-editor-in-chief Lillian Lee.
Thanks very much to Michael Collins for all he did for TACL!
