ACM Computing Surveys template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the ACM Computing Surveys format?

What reference style does ACM Computing Surveys use?
ACM Computing Surveys uses Numbered (ACM) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically.
