NeurIPS 2026 Paper Template

Download the official NeurIPS 2026 author kit (.zip) from https://media.neurips.cc/Conferences/NeurIPS2026/Formatting_Instructions_For_NeurIPS_2026.zip. It contains neurips_2026.tex, checklist.tex, and neurips_2026.sty. TypeTeX also places those files in a new NeurIPS project so you can draft in the browser and export the source when needed.

Main paper submissions are limited to 9 content pages (text, figures, and tables). References do not count toward the limit and have no page cap. Acknowledgments are automatically hidden during submission and only appear in the camera-ready version. Appendices and supplementary material go in a separate PDF and are not included in the 9-page count. Our template shows a live page counter so you don't accidentally cross the limit.

neurips_2026.sty defines the \begin{ack}...\end{ack} environment. In the default 'submission' mode, this environment is automatically hidden so reviewers can't see acknowledgments (which could de-anonymize authors). Switch to '\usepackage[final]{neurips_2026}' for the camera-ready version and the acknowledgments become visible.

checklist.tex is the NeurIPS Paper Checklist that all submissions must include. It asks ~15 questions about reproducibility, ethics, broader impact, and limitations. The checklist appears at the end of your paper (after references) and does not count toward the 9-page limit. Our NeurIPS 2026 template includes checklist.tex pre-filled with the official prompt structure — you just answer each question.

NeurIPS 2026 uses an unsorted, numbered citation style. The neurips_2026.sty bundle includes its own bibliography style (loaded automatically). Use \bibliographystyle{plainnat} with natbib, or stick to the default style configured in the template — both produce the correct output.

Yes. Click 'Export to Overleaf' on any TypeTeX project and the full source — neurips_2026.sty, main.tex, checklist.tex, references.bib — is uploaded as an Overleaf project. The template compiles in Overleaf out of the box with no configuration.

TypeTeX supports Typst drafting and PDF preview, but the official NeurIPS 2026 handbook specifies the conference's LaTeX style file as the supported submission format. Treat the Typst workflow as a drafting/preview path and verify your final PDF and source against the current handbook before submitting.

For the 2026 Main Track, the abstract deadline is May 4 (AoE), the full paper deadline is May 6 (AoE), reviews are released July 22, and author notification is September 24. Confirm any track-specific or camera-ready dates on the official NeurIPS dates page.

Use the \author{} command from neurips_2026.sty with \And to separate authors and \AND for line breaks. Each author block supports name, affiliation, and email. In submission mode all author info is automatically hidden — no extra work needed for anonymous submission.

Yes. Invite co-authors on TypeTeX and edit the same document together. Comments, version history, and per-section discussion support a shared review workflow; check current plan limits for your team.
