acl-related-work

Use when positioning an ACL submission against the NLP literature, covering ACL Anthology citation practice, arXiv-versus-published version citation, concurrent LLM-era preprints, prior-cycle ARR resubmission overlap, anonymity-preserving self-citation, and the fast-moving baseline problem in computational linguistics.

# ACL Related Work

Use this to audit positioning and citation hygiene. NLP moves fast enough that
related-work sections age between ARR cycles; the section must prove the
authors know the field *as of this cycle*, not as of the project's start.

## The Anthology-first rule

- When a paper exists in the ACL Anthology (or another archival venue), cite
  that version, not its arXiv preprint — Anthology entries are the community's
  citation of record and carry stable BibTeX.
- The Anthology is fully open access (post-2016 materials under CC BY 4.0),
  so "couldn't access the published version" is never a defense here.
- For findings-tier work, cite it as Findings of ACL/EMNLP — it is archival
