Use when deciding whether a project is EACL-shaped or better routed to ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, AACL, TACL, Computational Linguistics, LREC-COLING, COLM, or an ML venue, covering the long-versus-short choice, the accept-Findings calculus, and how EACL's single ARR cycle and irregular cadence affect the routing decision.

# EACL Topic Selection

Use this before committing effort to route a project to the right venue. EACL is the ACL's
**European Chapter** meeting — all of CL/NLP is in scope, with a community and location that make
it a natural home for multilingual and lower-resourced-language work — but "could go to EACL" and
"is best at EACL" are different questions. Decide by fit, timing, and the alternatives.

## Is it EACL-shaped?

Strong EACL fits share a profile:
