FAccT Camera Ready

Use this after acceptance. FAccT papers are archival ACM proceedings (unless you chose

non-archival), so the camera-ready is an ACM production step. Reopen the current camera-ready

instructions, the decision email, and the rights/Open-Access pages before advising — and note the

two-round calendar: Round-1 accepts and Revise-and-resubmit accepts have different

camera-ready deadlines (FAccT 2026: 24 April and 11 May respectively).

Camera-ready audit

• De-anonymize completely and add the withheld endmatter: restore the author block,

affiliations, and now add the Positionality, Acknowledgements, Author Contributions,

and Competing Interests statements that mutual anonymity required you to hold back. The

Positionality statement in particular exists only from this point on.

• Switch to the proceedings format: move from the anonymous review build to the acmart

sigconf camera-ready, within the current page budget (Revised/accepted papers may use 15

content pages; confirm).

• Keep the required Generative AI Usage Statement accurate for the final manuscript.
• Complete ACM metadata: title/abstract, author order, ORCIDs, ACM CCS concepts and

keywords, and the DOI-bearing citation once assigned.

• Integrate reviewer/AC-required changes faithfully — without strengthening claims beyond what

was evaluated in the Revise round.

• Finalize accountability documentation: replace anonymized artifact links with permanent,

licensed ones, and align the datasheet / model card / impact assessment with the released

version and the paper's tables.

• Confirm presentation: at least one author presents in person (archival or non-archival).

De-anonymization + endmatter sweep

| Held back / anonymized at submission | Restore or add at camera-ready | Watch for |

|---|---|---|

| Author block, affiliations, ORCID | Full, correctly ordered | Wrong author order breaks the DOI citation |

| Positionality statement | Add now (it was withheld) | Leaving it out entirely — it is expected here |

| Acknowledgements, funding, Competing Interests | Restored / added | Grant numbers required by funders |

| System / field-site name | Real name throughout text, figures, artifact | A leftover anonymized placeholder in a caption |

| Self-citations (third person) | Natural first-person where it aids clarity | Over-correcting and double-citing |

| Artifact / data link | Public, licensed, persistent archive | The old anonymized URL surviving in a footnote |

ACM production checks

[Template]   acmart sigconf, current revision; no manual margin/font edits
[Metadata]   title, abstract, authors+ORCID, CCS concepts, keywords entered and matching the PDF
[Rights]     ACM e-rights form completed; correct rights/Open-Access statement on the first page
[Open Access] since 1 Jan 2026 ACM proceedings are 100% OA — confirm ACM Open coverage or the APC
             path (fee-waiver policy 待核实) well before the deadline, not at the last minute
[Endmatter]  Generative AI Usage kept; Positionality/Acks/Contributions added; ethics/adverse-impacts final
[References] complete, consistent; DOIs where available (references are unlimited)
[Links]      every artifact / data-availability link resolves from a logged-out browser

Worked example: integrating a Revise-round fix

The Area Chair required adding disaggregation by an intersectional subgroup and correcting a

doctrinal framing. Camera-ready move: place the new subgroup table in the results with its

uncertainty and the utility trade-off, fix the legal framing and cite the doctrine to its real

origin, add the now-permitted Positionality statement reflecting on the authors' standpoint, and

point the data link at the public, licensed archive with a finalized datasheet — without expanding

the harm claim the reviewers accepted.

Hedged logistics

• The two camera-ready dates, page allowances, metadata fields, rights mechanics, and the ACM Open /

APC specifics change each cycle and differ by round; confirm against the decision email and current

instructions rather than a prior year. APC/fee-waiver details are 待核实.
