Frequenlty Asked Questions
Track Selection and Review Process
How are tracks used in the review process?
Tracks are primarily used as a way of matching reviewers with the correct expertise to your paper. You should select a track based on how you identify your paper’s primary contributions.
Q: What is the purpose of selecting a secondary track?
A: Secondary track selections serve two main purposes: 1) They help us determine how papers might have contributions in multiple tracks 2) They assist in planning reviewer distribution across tracks. In rare cases, your paper might be moved to the secondary track if program chairs determine it’s a better fit than the primary track.
Q: How will the review process differ between tracks?
A: While the basic review process is consistent across tracks, reviewer guidelines will differ by track in terms of how they judge the significance of papers. Each track has specific criteria for evaluating contributions relevant to that area.
Q: Do I need to use the exact keywords listed for my chosen track?
A: No, the keywords for each track posted on the website are intended as a guide to help you select the most appropriate track for your paper. You are free to use any relevant keywords in your submission.
Paper Submission Guidelines
Q: Can I submit appendices with my paper?
A: No, there is no space for appendices in the paper. While you may submit an anonymized link to additional materials, these will not be considered part of the main text and reviewers may choose to ignore them.
Q: Can my full paper be accepted as a short paper?
A: Yes, a full paper may be accepted as a short paper. However, no papers will be converted to poster presentations.
Q: Can I submit multiple papers to the conference?
A: Yes, authors should feel free to submit multiple papers to the conference, following academic best practices. Each paper should represent sufficiently different contributions.
Conference Management
Q: How will submissions be managed?
A: All submissions will be managed through the EasyChair platform. As noted above, reviewer guidelines will differ by track to ensure appropriate evaluation of contributions.
Q: Are full papers and Doctoral Consortium submissions handled differently?
A: Yes, the main conference tracks and the Doctoral Consortium are separate submission types with different processes and deadlines. Please refer to the specific guidelines for each type of submission on the conference website.
