NeurIPS 2026 Paper Template

The official neurips_2026.sty style file ships inside the NeurIPS 2026 author kit at media.neurips.cc. TypeTeX bundles the latest neurips_2026.sty in our NeurIPS 2026 LaTeX template — open the template and the .sty is already on your project's path. You can also export the project source (including neurips_2026.sty) to Overleaf or download as a .zip.

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.

Yes. TypeTeX maintains a Typst port of neurips_2026.sty that produces visually identical PDF output. NeurIPS accepts PDF submissions regardless of source format, so you can write in Typst, export PDF, and submit. Typst compiles 5-10x faster than LaTeX, which matters when iterating before deadline.

Abstract submission opens in early May 2026, with full paper submission closing roughly one week later. Reviews are released in early August 2026, the author response period follows, and final accept/reject decisions land in September 2026. Camera-ready papers are due in October 2026. Always confirm exact dates on neurips.cc.

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 unlimited collaborators on TypeTeX and everyone edits the same document simultaneously, like Google Docs. Comments, version history, and per-section discussion are built in. No 'merge conflicts' between LaTeX edits.
