# How to Use the NeurIPS Template | A Step-by-Step Guide

Authored by [Sumalatha Gangadhar](https://scispace.com/resources/author/sumalatha/) | Published on 22 Apr, 2026

The NeurIPS Template is the format NeurIPS expects for conference or workshop paper submissions. NeurIPS papers follow the conference's official LaTeX style (neurips_year.sty) and page limit rules. The canonical rules live on [NeurIPS Author Instructions](https://neurips.cc/Conferences/Year/AuthorInstructions).

## What is the NeurIPS Template?

The NeurIPS Template is a LaTeX (and often Word) structural shell that encodes NeurIPS's paper format: title block, abstract, sections, figures, tables, references, and supplementary material. The submission policies, ethics statement, and broader impacts requirements are refreshed each year. Year-specific instructions are on [NeurIPS LaTeX Style](https://neurips.cc/Conferences/Year/StyleFiles).

### A standard NeurIPS template usually includes:

- Title, authors, and affiliations
- Abstract and keywords
- Introduction and related work
- Method / approach with figures and algorithms
- Experiments, results, and analysis
- Conclusion and broader impacts where NeurIPS requires it
- References in the venue's required style

### A strong paper prepared with this template should:

- Respect NeurIPS's page limit, margin, and formatting rules
- Anonymize for double-blind review where the venue requires it
- Use the venue's reference format and bibliography file
- Place figures near the first mention; use vector formats where possible
- Separate supplementary material into a clearly labeled supplement

## What does this NeurIPS Template include?

NeurIPS also publishes policy documents covering reproducibility, ethics, and author responsibilities. See [NeurIPS Main site](https://neurips.cc/) for paper structure details, [NeurIPS Code of Conduct and Ethics](https://neurips.cc/public/CodeOfConduct) for submission logistics, and [NeurIPS Paper Submission Policies](https://neurips.cc/Conferences/Year/Policies) for policies and ethics expectations authors must acknowledge.

## Steps to Use the NeurIPS Template with Scispace Agent

1. Click **Start Writing** on this template page. You are redirected to the Scispace Agent prompt page with this NeurIPS Template and a starter prompt already loaded.
2. On the prompt page, choose whether to **use the existing template** shown in the side panel or **upload a new template** if you already have a program-specific or venue-specific copy.
3. **Modify the prompt** with your custom message: the topic, target audience, document type, scope, and any specific constraints (word limits, required pages, reporting checklists, citation style).
4. Run the prompt. Scispace Agent generates the draft directly in the NeurIPS Template structure — front matter, main sections, figures or chapters, references — without hand-editing layout code.
5. Use **View Outputs** to review the draft. Regenerate specific sections if the first pass needs tightening on depth, evidence, or wording.
6. When the draft is ready, **save it to your library** inside Scispace Agent or **download it in Word or LaTeX format** so it drops straight into your submission workflow.

This keeps NeurIPS format compliance on the Scispace Agent side so you can focus on the contribution and experiments.

## NeurIPS Template Structure at a Glance

| Element | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Title + authors + affiliations | Identifies authorship per NeurIPS rules |
| Abstract | Summarizes the contribution for NeurIPS reviewers |
| Introduction + related work | Frames the contribution in context |
| Method / Approach | Reproducible description of the technique |
| Experiments / Results | Evidence and analysis |
| Conclusion + broader impacts | Required for many NeurIPS submissions |
| References | NeurIPS reference style |
| Supplementary material | Appendices and datasets as NeurIPS allows |
| Submission Package | Single PDF or bundle per NeurIPS instructions |

## Quick Tips for Using the NeurIPS Template

- Start from NeurIPS's official LaTeX class; do not craft a shell from scratch
- Respect the page limit exactly; overflow is a common desk-reject cause
- Anonymize self-citations for double-blind review; rename figure files to neutral names
- Keep supplementary material in a single clearly-labeled file

## Best Practices

- Compile cleanly with zero LaTeX warnings before submission
- Use the venue's BibTeX style and latest bibliography file
- Include a broader impacts section where the venue now requires one
- Prepare code and dataset links as supplementary material, not inline

## NeurIPS Template Tips

The NeurIPS Template rewards early planning. Use NeurIPS's official class and sample files, lock length and structure before drafting heavily, and budget time for supplementary material preparation.
