AAMAS Camera Ready

Use this after acceptance. Reopen the current AAMAS camera-ready instructions, the proceedings author kit, the registration page, and the decision notice before advising authors; AAMAS proceedings are published open-access by IFAAMAS.

Camera-ready audit

• Convert the anonymous submission to the public version: author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, funding, and de-anonymized code, data, and environment links.
• Apply the current final-page rules and template. Confirm whether the accepted-paper mode changes the page budget from the 8-page submission body, and reflow accordingly.
• Check proceedings metadata: title, abstract, author order and ORCID, subject areas, bibliography, and any required copyright or release form.
• Integrate every rebuttal-stage promise without expanding the accepted contribution: a wording fix, a moved assumption, or an added caption line - not a new experiment.
• Prepare the public artifact: repository, multiagent environments, opponent/population sets, seeds, checkpoints, and an archival citation, now that anonymity no longer applies.
• Confirm registration and in-person presentation obligations for at least one author.

Anonymous-to-final flip: what to recheck

Element	Submission (anonymous)	Camera-ready (final)
Page one	Tracking number, no author block	Author names, affiliations, ORCID
Acknowledgements / funding	Removed	Restored
Code / environment links	Anonymized placeholder	Public, licensed, citable archive
Self-citation phrasing	"prior work [anon]"	Natural first-person, de-anonymized
Page budget	8-page body	Confirm the accepted-paper budget, then reflow

Two-column reflow for multiagent papers

• Switching the style file from anonymous to final mode changes spacing; recheck every page break, figure placement, and table width after the flip.
• Extensive-form game trees, payoff matrices, and multi-panel learning curves often need full-width spans; verify nothing is clipped at the column boundary.
• Material that fit under the tracking number can overflow once the author block and acknowledgements are added; confirm rather than assume the budget absorbs it.
• Keep theorem, assumption, and game-definition numbering identical to the reviewed version so the public reviews on OpenReview remain traceable to the final text.

De-anonymization sweep

• Restore the author block, acknowledgements, grants, and contribution statements the anonymous version stripped.
• Rewrite anonymized self-citations ("prior work [anon]") into natural first-person form.
• Replace anonymized repository placeholders with the public, licensed, citable archive, and test every link and every environment install from a logged-out machine.

Worked example: honoring a rebuttal promise

The area chair accepted on the condition that the paper add a held-out opponent to the evaluation, which the rebuttal promised. Camera-ready move: add the one opponent, report it with the same seeds and standard errors as the others, and add a sentence to the protocol - without re-tuning the method or re-framing the contribution the reviewers evaluated.

Hedged logistics

• Registration pricing, copyright-form mechanics, the exact camera-ready date, and the proceedings template can change every cycle; confirm against the decision notice and current author kit.
