Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (commonly abbreviated TACL) is an annual peer-reviewed open-access academic journal that publishes papers in the fields of computational linguistics and natural language processing.

Additionally, researchers whose papers are accepted for publication by the journal are given the option to present their work at various ACL-sponsored conferences.

[2] As of March 2024,[update] Its editors-in-chief are Asli Celikyilmaz, Roi Reichart, and Dilek Hakkani-Tür.

Papers must conform to a format similar to that of popular conferences in the field, including a shorter page limit than is typical in journals.

[1] Thus, TACL gives researchers benefits associated with both the conference and traditional journal styles of publication.
