| Leading and Promoting the Information Field |
ContentsiConference papers push the boundaries of information scholarship, explore core concepts and ideas, and help identify new technological and conceptual configurations. The goal of the Short Research Papers track is to encourage the iConference community to present new, provocative, and cross-cutting themes in a short paper submission. Short research papers might include, but are not limited to, critical literature reviews of an emerging topic, theory building that is in the early stages of development, or new analysis / methods applied to existing data. Short papers are more focused and succinct contributions to the research program, and are likely to have a smaller scope of contribution than Full Research Papers. For example, short papers on applications design may not cover the entire iterative design cycle (observation, design, implementation, evaluation, etc.) but may instead go into depth in specific areas. iConference Short Research Papers undergo a rigorous double-blind review process, managed by the Short Research Papers Chairs. Confidentiality of submissions is maintained during the review process. Papers will be scored on innovation, contribution and quality of thought and writing. Submitted papers must be original work, not published elsewhere. PresentationAll accepted papers will be presented virtually during iConference 2023 on the SCOOCS platform; presentation instruction will be provided with acceptance notifications. PublicationAccepted Short Research Papers will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and will therefore be indexed by major services such as Web of Science and Scopus. Authors are also allowed and encouraged to deposit their work into the IDEALS open repository or their school's institutional repository if they so choose. Best Paper AwardThe best Short Research Paper will be awarded with a sum of $500. All papers must adhere to the complete guidelines. Submissions that do not conform to the lengths defined are subject to desk rejection by the chairs. All papers must be original work, not published elsewhere. Length: Up to 3,000 words (excluding captions and references) Language: English Template: Springer LNCS template First Submission: First submissions can be uploaded to the ConfTool submission site starting in early summer. The deadline for the first submissions is Sept. 01, 2022.
Final Submission: Authors of accepted papers and posters will submit a final version containing author-identifying information. Final versions of accepted papers should be uploaded to ContTool by Dec. 15, 2022.
Acceptance of a submission is conditional on the completion of changes that were identified during review. In making these changes, authors must adhere to the word limit of 3,000 words in the interest of fairness. If necessary, we suggest having a professional editor help identify redundant words and thoughts. Papers authors will also provide details of these changes with their final submission. These details will be entered into ConfTool using the open field titled Remarks on This Contribution Section. Papers that do not comply with the final submission requirements will be removed from the proceedings and not be published. Pre-Recorded Presentations (optional): Pre-recorded papers presentations are due Feb. 01, 2023 following these guidelines. Conditions: At least one author of each accepted submission has to register during the Early Bird registration period to present their work at iConference 2023. The organizers reserve the right to withhold publication if these conditions are not met.
All submissions will be made using the secure ConfTool submission system, starting May 23, 2022.
