Submissions guidelines

• Papers: papers are limited to 6 pages, including references. Submissions are NOT anonymous. It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that their submissions adhere strictly to the required format.

Papers will be published in the ACM The Web Conference Companion Proceedings archived by the ACM Digital Library, as open access, if the authors wish so.
• Presentation abstract (limited to 1 page)
• Links to code repositories on GitHub (with sufficient description and documentation)
• Links to recorded demos (as a complement to the above, ideally following established best practices as proposed by the W3C)
• Any other resource reachable on the Web

Submissions will be handled via Easychair, at

Formatting paper submissions

Paper submissions must adhere to the ACM template and format. Please remember to add Concepts and Keywords. Please use the template in traditional double-column format to prepare your submissions. For example, word users may use Word Interim Template, and LaTeX users may use the “sample-sigconf” template. Overleaf users may want to use the ACM proceedings template available in Overleaf. They must be submitted in PDF format.

All submissions must be self-contained and written in English. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines, or do not view or print properly, will be rejected without review.

Ethical use of data and informed consent

Authors are encouraged to include a section on the ethical use of data and/or informed consent of research subjects in their paper, when appropriate. You and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM’s Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects (posted in 2021). Please ensure all authors are familiar with these policies.

Publication policy

Accepted papers will require a further revision in order to meet the requirements and page limits of the camera-ready format required by ACM. Instructions for the preparation of the camera-ready versions of the papers will be provided after acceptance.
