- Single-column layout with ICLR-specific margins (8.5x11 letter, ~1.25in margins)
- Times-style font for body and matched math fonts
- Anonymous author block in submission mode (de-anonymized in [final] mode)
- Natbib-based citation style with author-year format (Smith et al., 2024)
- Section heading style and numbering
- 10-page main paper layout (you enforce the limit; .sty doesn't hard-stop)
Submission mode vs final mode
Anonymous submission: \usepackage{iclr2026_conference} hides author names and affiliations. Required for ICLR's OpenReview double-blind process.
Camera-ready: \usepackage[final]{iclr2026_conference} reveals authors and adds the published-paper title block formatting.

Frequently Asked Questions
The official source is the ICLR 2026 author kit on iclr.cc (Calls → Author Information). TypeTeX bundles the latest iclr2026_conference.sty in our ICLR 2026 template — open the template and the .sty file is already on your project's path.
Add \usepackage{iclr2026_conference} for the anonymous review version, or \usepackage[final]{iclr2026_conference} for the camera-ready (de-anonymized) version. Make sure iclr2026_conference.sty is in the same directory as your main.tex.
Switches the style file from anonymous review mode to camera-ready mode. Author names become visible, the title block changes to the published format. Default is anonymous mode for OpenReview's double-blind review.
ICML enforces 10 content pages for the main paper, plus unlimited references and unlimited appendix in supplementary material. iclr2026_conference.sty configures the page geometry but does not hard-stop you at 10 pages — you have to monitor it manually.
Yes — it loads natbib with an ICLR-specific .bst file that produces the (Author et al., Year) format common at ICLR. Use \citep{key} for parenthetical and \citet{key} for inline citations.
Yes. Drop iclr2026_conference.sty in the root of your Overleaf project alongside main.tex. Overleaf finds it automatically. The TypeTeX ICLR template exports directly to Overleaf with the .sty already in place.
They share lineage but differ. ICLR's style is more compact (10 pages, single-column with wider margins), NeurIPS uses 9 pages with a different layout, ICML 8 pages two-column. Don't swap the .sty files between conferences — each has specific formatting.
ICLR uses OpenReview for submission and peer review. Your iclr2026_conference.sty-formatted PDF is uploaded to OpenReview. The review system displays it inline. Anonymous mode is critical — author info in the PDF would de-anonymize you for the open review process.
