NeuIPS submission small formatting question [D]
Templates now lack page break before appendices, causing awkward layouts
Deep Dive
A Reddit user flagged a change in the Neurips camera-ready template: there is no automatic page break after references before appendices this year, unlike all camera-ready papers from last year. The user asks whether manually inserting ewpage is allowed, required, or not okay. The post was submitted by /u/baghalipolo.
Key Points
- NeurIPS 2024 template removed the automatic \newpage between references and appendices
- Previous years' camera-ready papers always started appendices on a new page
- Conference has not issued official guidance; authors are split on whether manual \newpage is safe
Why It Matters
Even formatting ambiguities can derail NeurIPS deadlines for thousands of AI researchers globally.
