[AISWorld] ECSCW 2022 - Call for Exploratory Papers

[Licinio Roque]

ECSCW 2022 - The 20th European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work
June 27 - July 1st, 2022 - Coimbra, Portugal

-- What are Exploratory Papers?

Exploratory papers submissions are smaller, focused studies, 
works-in-progress, or design probes, based on provocative ideas that explore a 
topic in new and possibly multiple ways. Exploratory papers set themselves 
apart from journal-ready full papers and notes by moving beyond the 
conventional genre of a research paper as a way of inspiring discussion aimed 
at shaping the future of practice-focused CSCW research. As such, presentation 
of these papers at the conference will utilize an alternative format such as 
Pecha Kucha or interactive panel (final format yet to be determined) to 
encourage conversation and feedback.

If you are submitting a paper on accessibility or assistive technology, please 
refer to the SIGACCESS guidelines on writing about disability.


-- Selection Process
Exploratory papers are single-blind reviewed by the ECSCW program committee 
and members of the community. Therefore, submissions should not be anonymized. 
One round of peer review will lead to an accept or reject decision with no 
opportunity for revision and resubmission (though minor revisions may be 
requested for accepted papers). Accepted exploratory papers will be published 
in the ECSCW/EUSSET Digital Library as an edited collection with ISBN and DOIs 
under the EUSSET DL License.

-- Publication & Copyright Information
Accepted Exploratory Papers are slated for publication in the European Society 
for Embedded Technologies (EUSSET) digital library 
(http://www.eusset.eu/digital-library) as an edited collection with an ISBN. 
Each paper will be assigned a DOI.

Authors of accepted Exploratory Papers will be given choice to either (1) 
publish their papers in the EUSSET DL using one of the copyright options (see 
below), or (2) not publish in the EUSSET DL, but still have an opportunity to 
present their work at the conference. The second choice is provided because 
some authors may prefer to keep their working/exploratory versions of the 
paper offline (not findable in a digital library) as they are preparing a full 
publication.

The EUSSET digital library (DL) is an open access repository. The EUSSET DL 
does not ask for a full transfer of copyright from authors. Instead, it 
requires only sufficient rights that allow “readers to read, download, copy, 
distribute, print, search and link to the full texts of articles, or use them 
for any other lawful purpose except where otherwise noted” (for full 
information please see here: https://www.eusset.eu/digital-library/).

The authors will have several options when it comes to copyright upon paper 
acceptance:
– grant EUSSET DL a non-exclusive and irrevocable license to distribute the 
article, and certify that he/she has the right to grant this license;
– certify that the work is available under one of the following Creative 
Commons licenses and that he/she has the right to assign this license:
Creative Commons Attribution license (CC BY 4.0)
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license (CC BY-SA 4.0)
Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)
or dedicate the work to the public domain by associating the Creative Commons 
Public Domain Dedication (CC0 1.0) with the submission.
In the most common case, authors have the right to grant these licenses 
because they hold copyright in their own work.
