How to Submit a Conference Paper | Academic Conference Edition

You should participate in as many academic conferences as possible, especially if you’re an “up-and-coming” researcher. Conferences combine the best things in the academic community for your career and your work:

• Peer review
• Publishing your work (in conference proceedings and even journals).

Furthermore, there are multiple benefits to presenting your work at conferences, which you’ll learn about. This article focuses on how to plan your paper submission so you can present at a conference. Learn about calls for papers, how to write a conference proposal, and where to submit a conference paper. Additionally, see how Orvium simplifies submission in the end.

Call For Papers - What Are They and Why Are They Important?

A call for papers (CFP) is a document that invites authors and researchers to further research and delve deeper into current issues. You may see a CFP whenever a conference looks for academic paper submissions (most common), an edited volume , or a special issue for a journal. It may also allow authors and researchers to present their work (paper) at a conference.

CFPs will usually include the following:

• The conference theme and scope
• Guidelines for presentations
• Requirements for conference proposals (make sure you pay close attention to these)

CFPs are important for several reasons. By submitting your paper to an academic conference, you have an opportunity to network with like-minded people, build your resume, enhance your interview potential, and get feedback on your work . You also get a chance to develop collaborative relationships with other researchers in your field. Additionally, by presenting your paper, you can work on your presentation and communication skills.

If you want to work on all of these skills, you must first write a conference proposal that appeals to your audience(s). In this way, you’ll create a “research space” for yourself. You can focus on getting your proposal accepted to present your paper and later publish your work in the appropriate conference proceedings or journal. See how to do that below.

How to Write a Conference Paper Proposal

A conference proposal is a short, stand-alone document that introduces your paper and/or presentation for a conference. The primary audience for a proposal is the conference organizer or the review committee. The secondary audience for a proposal is the conference attendees, so make sure you don’t neglect them in your proposal.

You may check the Think.Check.Attend guide to ensure the conference you choose isn’t predatory. Once you select a conference, read the requirements and guidelines carefully. Proposals must be concise (think about a paper abstract) and follow the conference theme and requirements , while your presentation must follow the conference guidelines.

Keep in mind that your proposal will be peer-reviewed, and only the best proposals will be chosen to present at a conference . You’ll typically find open CFPs online (conference landing pages), where you’ll see specific instructions on what you should include for each conference proposal (additional documents, word count, etc.).

Follow the tips below for a successfully written proposal:

• Clearly define a problem or concern you’re addressing in the title, and make it descriptive and intriguing (consider using keywords from the CFP to capture attendee attention and always think about your audience and who might be getting the most out of your presentation)
• Keep your title short (eight to fifteen words)
• Write clear outcomes; explain how your presentation will address the problem or concern and how it fits the conference theme and scope
• Demonstrate your knowledge and expertise
• Keep the entire proposal relatively short (300-500 words total)
• Revise and edit accordingly, getting rid of any unnecessary words
• Ensure you meet the deadline.

What to Expect When Submitting a Conference Paper

Whether or not you presented your paper at a conference, conference proceedings follow soon after the event ends. This is where you’ll find all accepted conference proposals and any related reports. Some conferences will have associated journals if you want to expand your proposal or paper to focus on the conference theme.

A conference paper (a developed version of your paper) must follow academic writing guidelines , and they’re usually more concise than a journal paper. Your conference paper is typically limited to publication within the conference documentation and proceedings. However, if your work is exceptional, you may be asked to publish your paper in a more well-known journal.

Ensure that you apply any feedback you previously received during or after the conference to your paper to reduce the chances of being rejected by a journal later on (should you choose to submit to a journal). Remember, you can always perfect your conference paper to bring it up to journal standards for submission.

Once you decide on where you want to publish, pay close attention to the following things:

• Paper format
• Citation styles
• Publication costs.

Submitting a paper to a conference or journal isn’t the hard part; the rejection you may face leading up to finally being accepted may be hard. You just have to remember that rejection is common and inevitable in the academic community, and it doesn’t mean you have a poorly written paper.

How to Submit Papers to Conferences

As a graduate student, you should participate in as many conferences as you can because participating in conferences combines the best of all academic opportunities: networking with other colleagues and professionals in your field, having your work reviewed by peers, and having your work published in conference proceedings. If you already know how to submit a paper for a conference, then you know that submitting papers to conferences is easier than you think, but accepting the amount of rejection you will more than likely face is the hard part. Nevertheless, you should assure yourself ahead of time that being accepted to present at just one conference is worth being rejected for a slew of other conferences. Once you have accepted this, then you can use the following six steps as a guide to how to submit a paper to a conference:

1. Find conferences with open calls for papers.

You can use websites, search engines, and professional organizations to search for conferences with open calls for papers. You can search by conference topic or by area of specialization, conference location, etc. Many organizations will specify on their websites exactly how to submit a paper for their conference.

2. Write proposal.

You will have to write a proposal for your paper. Presentation proposals are similar to paper abstracts (i.e., 350 words or less), but each conference typically has unique requirements for its proposals. You should read all conference requirements for proposals before you begin writing your proposal. You may have to change your proposal to meet the requirements of each conference to which you are submitting.

3. Submit proposal.

You will probably be submitting your proposal electronically, so be sure that you submit any documents in the form required. If you are accepted to present at a conference, someone from the conference will probably contact you by email.

4. Present paper.

Depending on your field of study, you may use a script to help you present your research , or you may use visual aids like PowerPoint presentations or posters to help you present. You will need to design and practice your presentation ahead of time, making sure to stay within the time frame that the conference has allotted for your presentation.

These opportunities can expand researchers’ horizons and open doors to international research funding and job prospects.

Example: The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress is an international conference that brings together researchers, clinicians, and professionals from the field of cardiology, providing opportunities for researchers to explore funding and job opportunities in Europe and beyond.

• Chance to broaden one’s research network and enhance research reputation: Attending international research conferences allows researchers to broaden their research network beyond their home country or region, and establish connections with researchers from different parts of the world. This can enhance researchers’ research reputation and visibility on a global scale, which can be beneficial for career growth and opportunities for collaboration.

Example: The International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) is a premier conference in computer vision that attracts researchers from around the world, providing opportunities for researchers to expand their research network and enhance their research reputation on an international level.

• Cultural exchange and personal growth opportunities: International research conferences also provide opportunities for cultural exchange and personal growth. Researchers can learn about different cultures, traditions, and practices, which can broaden their horizons and contribute to their personal growth as individuals and professionals.

Example: For instance, a researcher from the United States attending an international conference in Japan may have the chance to learn about Japanese culture, traditions, and research practices through interactions with local researchers and conference attendees.

Attending research conferences requires careful selection and preparation to make the most of the experience. Here are some factors to consider, tips for submitting abstracts and papers, suggestions for preparing presentations and posters, strategies for effective networking and collaboration, and recommendations for maximizing the benefits of attending research conferences.

• Factors to consider when choosing a research conference to attend:
• Relevance to your research: Choose conferences that are relevant to your research field or topic of interest. Consider the conference’s focus, theme, and scope to ensure that it aligns with your research area.

Example: If you are a researcher in the field of artificial intelligence, you may consider attending conferences such as the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) or the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) .

• Reputation and impact: Consider the reputation and impact of the conference in your research community. Look for conferences that are well-established, have a strong track record of quality research presentations, and attract renowned researchers in the field.

Example: The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) conference is a well-established and prestigious conference in the field of natural language processing and computational linguistics, known for its high-quality research presentations and influential research outcomes.

• Location and logistics: Consider the location, dates, and logistics of the conference. Look for conferences that are conveniently located, have reasonable registration fees, and fit well with your schedule and availability.

Example: The International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) is held at different locations around the world each year, offering researchers opportunities to attend the conference in different regions and experience diverse cultural settings.

• Tips for submitting abstracts and papers to research conferences:
• Follow submission guidelines: Carefully read and follow the submission guidelines of the conference for abstracts, papers, or other types of submissions. Make sure to adhere to the submission deadlines and formatting requirements.

Example: If the conference requires a double-blind review, ensure that your submission does not include any identifying information about the authors to maintain anonymity during the review process.

• Highlight the significance of your research: Clearly state the significance, novelty, and contributions of your research in the abstract or paper. Emphasize why your research is important and relevant to the conference’s theme or scope.

Example: Clearly state the research gap your work addresses, the methodology or approach used, and the potential impact or implications of your findings on the field.

Visit my blog post on Research Paper Abstract: 10 Simple Steps to Make a Big Difference . This post will help you in writing an effective abstract in 10 simple steps.

• Seek feedback from peers or mentors: Seek feedback from your peers or mentors on your abstract or paper before submission. Incorporate their suggestions and comments to improve the quality and clarity of your submission.

Example: Share your abstract or paper with colleagues or mentors in your research field and ask for their feedback on the research significance, clarity, and overall quality of the submission.

• Suggestions for preparing presentations and posters:
• Practice your presentation: Practice your presentation or poster to ensure that you are well-prepared to deliver it confidently and effectively. Time yourself to ensure that you stay within the allocated time for your presentation.

Example: Rehearse your presentation in front of a mirror, or with colleagues, to get feedback on your delivery, pace, and clarity of your message.

• Use visual aids effectively: Use visual aids such as slides or posters to enhance your presentation. Keep them visually appealing, easy to read, and well-organized to convey your message clearly.

Example: Use high-quality images, charts, or diagrams that support your research findings or conclusions, and avoid overcrowding your visual aids with too much text or information.

• Be prepared for questions: Anticipate potential questions that may arise during or after your presentation, and be prepared to answer.

Attending research conferences may come with various challenges. Here are some common challenges faced by researchers and strategies for overcoming them:

• Language barriers and cultural differences:
• Language barriers: Researchers attending international conferences may face language barriers if the conference is conducted in a language that is not their native language. This can make it difficult to understand presentations, ask questions, or participate in discussions.

Solution: Familiarize yourself with the conference language in advance, and consider brushing up on your language skills. You can also request for presentation slides or materials in advance to review and prepare yourself.

Example: If you are attending a conference in Japan and the conference is conducted in Japanese, you can practice basic Japanese phrases and use translation tools or apps to assist you in understanding the presentations.

• Cultural differences: Researchers attending conferences in different countries or regions may encounter cultural differences in communication styles, norms, and practices. This can affect networking, collaboration, and social interactions at the conference.

Solution: Educate yourself about the cultural norms and practices of the conference location beforehand, and be mindful of cultural differences during interactions with fellow researchers. Respect local customs and traditions, and adapt your communication style accordingly.

Example: If you are attending a conference in China, you may need to be aware of hierarchical communication styles and the importance of face-saving, and adjust your communication approach accordingly.

• Travel logistics, time, and budget management:
• Travel logistics: Attending national or international conferences may require travel arrangements, such as booking flights, accommodation, and transportation, which can be time-consuming and challenging to manage.

Solution: Plan your travel logistics well in advance, and make sure to account for factors such as visa requirements, transportation options, accommodation availability, and conference registration deadlines. Utilize online tools and resources to compare prices and options to optimize your travel arrangements.

Example: If you are attending a conference in Europe, you may need to apply for a Schengen visa, book flights early to secure better rates, and arrange for local transportation options such as trains or buses.

• Time and budget management: Attending conferences can be time-consuming and costly, requiring researchers to balance their research commitments, budget limitations, and personal or professional obligations.

Solution: Plan your time and budget wisely, considering the conference dates, travel costs, conference registration fees, and other expenses. Seek funding opportunities such as grants, scholarships, or travel awards to support your attendance.

Example: Create a budget plan that includes estimated costs for conference registration, travel, accommodation, meals, and other expenses. Look for funding opportunities offered by the conference, your institution, or external sources to help cover the costs.

• Coping with conference anxiety and stress:
• Conference anxiety: Researchers may experience anxiety or stress related to presenting their research, networking with peers, or navigating the conference environment, which can affect their overall conference experience.

Solution: Prepare well in advance by practicing your presentation, researching the conference agenda, and familiarizing yourself with the conference venue. Take breaks, engage in self-care activities, and seek support from colleagues or mentors to manage anxiety or stress.

Example: Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or exercise to manage conference anxiety. Create a schedule that includes time for breaks, meals, and self-care activities to help you stay balanced during the conference.

• Diversity, inclusion, and accessibility
• Issues related to diversity, inclusion, and accessibility may arise at research conferences, such as lack of representation, discrimination, or accessibility barriers for individuals with disabilities.

Solution: Promote diversity and inclusivity in your research, interactions, and discussions at conferences. Advocate for accessibility measures such as captioning, sign language etc.

Attending national and international research conferences can provide numerous benefits for researchers and research scholars. These conferences offer opportunities to access the latest research and cutting-edge findings, network and collaborate with peers in the same field, present and discuss research findings, and gain exposure to diverse perspectives and research approaches.

Additionally, research conferences can provide opportunities for professional development through workshops, tutorials, and panel discussions, as well as access to funding and job opportunities.

It is encouraged for researchers and research scholars to actively participate in research conferences for their professional growth and advancement. By attending conferences, researchers can expand their knowledge, broaden their research networks, enhance their research reputation, and stay updated with global research trends and practices.

Conferences also provide a platform for researchers to showcase their research, receive feedback and constructive criticism from experts in the field, and build collaborations and partnerships with researchers from different countries and cultures.

Conference Papers

What this handout is about.

This handout outlines strategies for writing and presenting papers for academic conferences.

What’s special about conference papers?

Conference papers can be an effective way to try out new ideas, introduce your work to colleagues, and hone your research questions. Presenting at a conference is a great opportunity for gaining valuable feedback from a community of scholars and for increasing your professional stature in your field.

A conference paper is often both a written document and an oral presentation. You may be asked to submit a copy of your paper to a commentator before you present at the conference. Thus, your paper should follow the conventions for academic papers and oral presentations.

Preparing to write your conference paper

There are several factors to consider as you get started on your conference paper.

Determine the structure and style

How will you structure your presentation? This is an important question, because your presentation format will shape your written document. Some possibilities for your session include:

• A visual presentation, including software such as PowerPoint or Prezi
• A paper that you read aloud
• A roundtable discussion

Presentations can be a combination of these styles. For example, you might read a paper aloud while displaying images. Following your paper, you might participate in an informal conversation with your fellow presenters.

You will also need to know how long your paper should be. Presentations are usually 15-20 minutes. A general rule of thumb is that one double-spaced page takes 2-2.5 minutes to read out loud. Thus an 8-10 page, double-spaced paper is often a good fit for a 15-20 minute presentation. Adhere to the time limit.  Make sure that your written paper conforms to the presentation constraints.

Consider the conventions of the conference and the structure of your session

It is important to meet the expectations of your conference audience. Have you been to an academic conference previously?  How were presentations structured? What kinds of presentations did you find most effective? What do you know about the particular conference you are planning to attend? Some professional organizations have their own rules and suggestions for writing and presenting for their conferences. Make sure to find out what they are and stick to them.

If you proposed a panel with other scholars, then you should already have a good idea of your panel’s expectations. However, if you submitted your paper individually and the conference organizers placed it on a panel with other papers, you will need additional information.

Will there be a commentator? Commentators, also called respondents or discussants, can be great additions to panels, since their job is to pull the papers together and pose questions. If there will be a commentator, be sure to know when they would like to have a copy of your paper. Observe this deadline.

You may also want to find out what your fellow presenters will be talking about. Will you circulate your papers among the other panelists prior to the conference? Will your papers address common themes? Will you discuss intersections with each other’s work after your individual presentations? How collaborative do you want your panel to be?

Analyze your audience

Knowing your audience is critical for any writing assignment, but conference papers are special because you will be physically interacting with them. Take a look at our handout on audience . Anticipating the needs of your listeners will help you write a conference paper that connects your specific research to their broader concerns in a compelling way.

What are the concerns of the conference?

You can identify these by revisiting the call for proposals and reviewing the mission statement or theme of the conference. What key words or concepts are repeated? How does your work relate to these larger research questions? If you choose to orient your paper toward one of these themes, make sure there is a genuine relationship. Superficial use of key terms can weaken your paper.

What are the primary concerns of the field?

How do you bridge the gap between your research and your field’s broader concerns? Finding these linkages is part of the brainstorming process. See our handout on brainstorming . If you are presenting at a conference that is within your primary field, you should be familiar with leading concerns and questions. If you will be attending an interdisciplinary conference or a conference outside of your field, or if you simply need to refresh your knowledge of what’s current in your discipline, you can:

• Read recently published journals and books, including recent publications by the conference’s featured speakers
• Talk to people who have been to the conference
• Pay attention to questions about theory and method. What questions come up in the literature? What foundational texts should you be familiar with?
• Review the initial research questions that inspired your project. Think about the big questions in the secondary literature of your field.
• Try a free-writing exercise. Imagine that you are explaining your project to someone who is in your department, but is unfamiliar with your specific topic. What can you assume they already know? Where will you need to start in your explanation? How will you establish common ground?

Contextualizing your narrow research question within larger trends in the field will help you connect with your audience.  You might be really excited about a previously unknown nineteenth-century poet. But will your topic engage others?  You don’t want people to leave your presentation, thinking, “What was the point of that?” By carefully analyzing your audience and considering the concerns of the conference and the field, you can present a paper that will have your listeners thinking, “Wow! Why haven’t I heard about that obscure poet before? She is really important for understanding developments in Romantic poetry in the 1800s!”

Writing your conference paper

I have a really great research paper/manuscript/dissertation chapter on this same topic. Should I cut and paste?

Be careful here. Time constraints and the needs of your audience may require a tightly focused and limited message. To create a paper tailored to the conference, you might want to set everything aside and create a brand new document.  Don’t worry—you will still have that paper, manuscript, or chapter if you need it. But you will also benefit from taking a fresh look at your research.

Citing sources

Since your conference paper will be part of an oral presentation, there are special considerations for citations. You should observe the conventions of your discipline with regard to including citations in your written paper. However, you will also need to incorporate verbal cues to set your evidence and quotations off from your text when presenting. For example, you can say: “As Nietzsche said, quote, ‘And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you,’ end quote.” If you use multiple quotations in your paper, think about omitting the terms “quote” and “end quote,” as these can become repetitive. Instead, signal quotations through the inflection of your voice or with strategic pauses.

Organizing the paper

There are numerous ways to effectively organize your conference paper, but remember to have a focused message that fits the time constraints and meets the needs of your audience. You can begin by connecting your research to the audience’s concerns, then share a few examples/case studies from your research, and then, in conclusion, broaden the discussion back out to general issues in the field.

Don’t overwhelm or confuse your audience

You should limit the information that you present. Don’t attempt to summarize your entire dissertation in 10 pages. Instead, try selecting main points and provide examples to support those points. Alternatively, you might focus on one main idea or case study and use 2-4 examples to explain it.

Check for clarity in the text

One way to anticipate how your ideas will sound is to read your paper out loud. Reading out loud is an excellent proofreading technique and is a great way to check the clarity of your ideas; you are likely to hear problems that you didn’t notice in just scanning your draft.  Help listeners understand your ideas by making sure that subjects and verbs are clear and by avoiding unnecessarily complex sentences.

Include verbal cues in the text

Make liberal use of transitional phrases like however, therefore, and thus, as well as signpost words like first, next, etc.

If you have 5 main points, say so at the beginning and list those 5 ideas. Refer back to this structure frequently as you transition between sections (“Now, I will discuss my fourth point, the importance of plasma”).

Use a phrase like “I argue” to announce your thesis statement. Be sure that there is only one of these phrases—otherwise your audience will be confused about your central message.

Refer back to the structure, and signal moments where you are transitioning to a new topic: “I just talked about x, now I’m going to talk about y.”

I’ve written my conference paper, now what?

Now that you’ve drafted your conference paper, it’s time for the most important part—delivering it before an audience of scholars in your field!  Remember that writing the paper is only one half of what a conference paper entails. It is both a written text and a presentation.

With preparation, your presentation will be a success. Here are a few tips for an effective presentation. You can also see our handout on speeches .

Cues to yourself

Include helpful hints in your personal copy of the paper. You can remind yourself to pause, look up and make eye contact with your audience, or employ body language to enhance your message. If you are using a slideshow, you can indicate when to change slides. Increasing the font size to 14-16 pt. can make your paper easier to read.

Practice, practice, practice

When you practice, time yourself. Are you reading too fast? Are you enunciating clearly? Do you know how to pronounce all of the words in your paper? Record your talk and critically listen to yourself. Practice in front of friends and colleagues.

If you are using technology, familiarize yourself with it. Check and double-check your images. Remember, they are part of your presentation and should be proofread just like your paper.  Print a backup copy of your images and paper, and bring copies of your materials in multiple formats, just in case.  Be sure to check with the conference organizers about available technology.

Professionalism

The written text is only one aspect of the overall conference paper. The other is your presentation. This means that your audience will evaluate both your work and you! So remember to convey the appropriate level of professionalism.

Works consulted

We consulted these works while writing this handout. This is not a comprehensive list of resources on the handout’s topic, and we encourage you to do your own research to find additional publications.

Which conference to attend?

• Think, Check, Attend

The Think, Check, Attend checklist includes nine questions to ask about organisers and sponsors of conferences, six questions about the agenda of the conferences and the editorial committee, and four more about the conference proceedings.

As a first step, try completing the Conference Checker form.

Ensure that you protect yourself and publish only in reputable and recognised conferences. You may have limited time and budget at your disposal. Therefore always evaluate carefully if the conference you are considering is right for you. Some guiding questions are presented below.

• What is the research field of the conference?
• How frequent do the conference occur?
• Who will be attending the conference? ~ Academics; ~ Administrators; ~Counselors; ~ Educators; ~ Social Scientists; ~ Researchers
• Which conferences do others in your communities of practices attend?
• How many people get together at this conference?
• How likely is it that a paper might get accepted for the conference program?
• How is the conference viewed by your colleagues or peers?
• Are abstracts released as published abstracts?
• Are paper submissions sent out for peer review?
• Will conference papers be published in proceedings afterwards?
• Why are you considering this conference?

Selecting a conference

It is just as important to evaluate which conferences to focus on as it is to evaluate the integrity of journals.

Evaluate conferences - use Think, Check, Attend

Attend conferences as a method of staying current and testing new work . You can also network with colleagues in your research field. Presenting at conferences have the added benefit of personalising your work and providing a face and voice  to it. You can use it to test how your work is received and use the feedback received to build your work further before aiming to publish in journals and other forms of academic publishing.

• There are several ways in which articles in conference proceedings may be accredited. Both hinge on peer review.
• Check if conference proceedings gets published and if you will get recognised for your work.
• You might need to submit the completed paper for pre-conference peer review. Some of the papers are then selected for presentation and publication.
• Other conferences invites post-conference submission for peer-review.
• If this is allowed, get your conference paper or poster more visible after the conference by posting links to it on your blog and social media profiles.

Read about the value of conferences

To have a conference publication counted and recognised as an academic research output in Australia, the following definitions are worth noting.

For the purposes of ERA , research is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in  new and creative ways to generate new concepts, methodologies, inventions and understandings. This could include synthesis of previous research so it produces new and creative outputs.

Publication data collected for the Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC) publication component recognises four traditional publication categories: (Eligible publications are defined in the HERDC specifications for the given year)

A1 - Books (as authored research)

B1 - Chapters in Scholarly Books

C1 - Articles in Scholarly Refereed journals

E1 - Conference publication - Full paper - Refereed

Not counted

• book reviews
• letters to the editor
• non-scholarly, non-research articles
• articles in newspapers and popular magazines
• reviews of art exhibitions, concerts and theatre productions; medical case histories or data reports, that are not full journal articles
• commentaries and brief communications of original research that are not subject to peer review
• articles designed to inform practitioners in a professional field, such as a set of guidelines or the state of knowledge in a field)
• papers that appear only in a volume handed out or sold to conference participants (e.g. “Program and Abstracts” books)
• invited papers
• papers presented at minor conferences, workshops or seminars that are not regarded as having national significance
• conference papers assessed only by an editorial board
• conference papers accepted for presentation (and publication) on the basis of peer review of a submitted extract or abstract only
• one page abstracts or summaries of poster presentations )

Core Rankings

The CORE Conference Ranking provides assessments of major conferences in the computing disciplines. The rankings are managed by the CORE Executive Committee, with periodic rounds for submission of requests for addition or reranking of conferences. Decisions are made by academic committees based on objective data requested as part of the submission process.

Conferences are assigned to one of the following categories:

A* - flagship conference (leading venue in a discipline area)

A – excellent conference (highly respected in a discipline area)

B – good conference (well regarded in a discipline area)

C – other ranked conference (venues meet minimum standards)

• Australasian (audience primarily Australians/ New Zealanders)
• Unranked – no ranking decision yet
• National – (runs primarily in a single country, Chairs from that country – not sufficiently known to be ranked)
• Regional – (similar to National – may cover a region)

Rankings are determined by citation rates, acceptance rates, visibility and track record of the hosts, the management of the technical program, etc.

If you follow a particular research community or professional association, these bodies often promote events and conferences to their members.

Some of these bodies are listed below.

• Australian Academy of the Humanities
• The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers (ACEMS)
• Engineers Australia
• Institute of Public Accountants
• Migration Institute of Australia
• School Library Association of Victoria

There are vetted tools to help researchers identify recognised conferences in their respective fields.

Further there are conference portals and -directories created by companies with potential commercial interests in creating the lists and promoting the conferences. Always evaluate information sources used to make strategic decisions carefully.

Present Your Paper

Get ready to present your paper at a conference. A key part of the research and review process is presenting and defending your work in front of peers at a conference.

The first step in getting ready to present your paper is to determine what key message you want to communicate to your audience. Most conference presentations are 10-20 minutes long, so you will not have time to present all the details of your work. The objective of your presentation is to get people interested in your work, not to explain it to them fully.

Organize your talk with these tips:

• Begin by stating the purpose or goal of your research. Tell the audience why your work is important.
• Provide a very brief literature review. This will give the audience some context.
• Move on to the main points of your own research.
• Conclude by reiterating the importance of your research and emphasizing the key points.

Tips for Creating Presentation Slides

Remember that your slides do not have to tell the story on their own. Slides are meant to illustrate your work, not explain it entirely.

• Use graphics where possible. Limit text to phrases and bullet points, rather than full sentences.
• Once you have drafted your slides, record yourself practicing your talk with the slides so that you can identify areas for improvement.
• Be sure to stay within your time limit and leave time for questions from the audience.

How to turn a conference paper into a journal article: 5 top tips 

Understanding how to turn a conference paper into a journal article is a skill that’s worth developing for any academic. Conference papers are a fantastic opportunity to share your research with peers and gather feedback to help you improve your work. But once a conference paper has been presented, it doesn’t have to be the end of that piece of writing.  

Conference paper publication is rare, so it’s unlikely your conference paper will be published as it is. But it can still form the foundation on which a journal article can be built. In this blog, we’re going to look at how to develop your conference paper and turn it into a brilliant journal article.  

What’s the difference between a conference paper and a journal article?

There are a few key differences between conference papers and journal articles, which help to explain why it’s necessary to do further work before you can submit to a journal.  

Audience A conference paper is written with a specific audience in mind which may not be exactly the audience targeted by a journal. For example, you could have a large conference with an interdisciplinary audience and a journal with a much more specific audience. Or vice versa. While there could be some overlap between audiences, it’s vital that a journal article is written with the journal’s audience in mind. 

Work in progress vs. completed work Many academics use conference papers as a way to get input into research that’s still in progress. The feedback and insight gained from the presentation and subsequent question and answer session can help to give direction to ongoing work. In contrast, journal articles should be written when definite conclusions are reached in a piece of research.

Language and tone As conference papers are written to be verbally presented, the language and tone of the writing can often be different from that demanded by a journal. Journals have varying requirements regarding writing style which will almost always entail rewriting or rephrasing work in an existing conference paper. 

Clarity of all arguments The clarity of arguments in a conference paper isn’t a deal breaker. After all, if the arguments aren’t immediately clear to the conference audience, the presenter can clarify them in the question and answer session after the presentation. However, this isn’t possible for a journal article. It’s also worth considering that when presenting a conference paper, you can focus on certain parts of the paper. But this isn’t the case with journal articles, where all sections should be equally developed.

Related posts, insights topics, 5 tips to turn your conference paper into a journal article.

So if you’ve presented a conference paper, what should you do to turn it into a journal article? Here are some top tips, with insights from Charlie Berry, whose prize-winning essay – based on a conference paper – was published in The London Journal in 2017 . 

1. Consider the requirements of the journal you want to publish in

It’s vital to spend time choosing the right journal for your research and ensuring you understand its requirements before you start writing. Following the submission guidelines is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your article is considered by the editors. There are lots of great tips on how to choose the right journal in our Choosing a journal eBook . 

2. Use the feedback you’ve received

The feedback you receive when you present your conference paper can give you some great insights into where you need to develop your research, arguments, and conclusions. 

“When I presented my paper, I had quite a few helpful questions from the audience and my fellow panelists,” explained Charlie Berry. “These highlighted areas where I could improve the piece. Some of the most helpful were where people didn’t quite understand something in my original paper. This let me know where I needed to add more clarification.” 

Remember, you don’t have to include and act on all feedback. You know your research best, so use your judgment to decide what will improve your work. 

3. Develop your research and arguments 

If your research is still in progress, it’s vital that you further develop it and form definite conclusions before writing a journal article. Or perhaps your conference paper only covered one area of your research and you’ll need to draw on other aspects of your work to form your arguments for an article. 

“My conference paper focused on my research using one particular document, the record of a late medieval neighborhood court,” explained Charlie Berry. “When writing my article, I incorporated other parts of my research which gave a much deeper sense of the historical context of that document. I used my social network analysis of local people to explore the careers and connections of men who served as jurors in the court. In an article, you have more space to use and explain any use of innovative methodologies.” 

4. Consider how your research relates to other work in your field 

Journal editors will expect you to have read broadly on the subject of your research and will want you to be able to link your work to that of those in your field. 

“Your article can explain the importance of your research for your field in much more depth than a conference paper,” said Charlie Berry. “Think about the sort of secondary literature the readers of the journal will be familiar with. How does your work fit with or challenge it? If you’ve already written a literature review for your thesis, read it over and think about which relevant parts you could incorporate into your article.” 

5. Start with a blank page

When you start writing, it may be tempting to try to develop your original conference paper and add bits to it to turn it into an article. But this can actually hamper your progress because the way you’ve written the conference paper may not work for the style of the journal or the arguments you’re now trying to make. 

Instead, start with a blank document and use our Writing your paper free guide to guide you through the process step-by-step. You can then bring in relevant parts of your conference paper and further develop them as you go.

Submitting the same research to multiple conferences

I'm aware that it's a violation of terms for most publishers to submit the same article to more than one journal, but I frequently see authors whose papers seem very similar, particularly papers released in a single year. In my field, neuroscience, this is particularly true about conference papers; one researcher will often have numerous posters/conference papers about seemingly the same topic. What are the guidelines for acceptability regarding this type of behavior?

• publications

• 7 "Same topic" does not imply "exactly the same results". This depends largely on which fields you're referring to: many journal papers in computer science would be redundant since they are journal versions of works published in the proceedings of an earlier conference. In mathematics, it's more common to talk about already published work at a conference, whereas in computer science we usually present new work. I'm sure other fields abound with their share of examples. –  Anthony Labarre Commented Feb 15, 2012 at 10:42

According to the Committee on Publication Ethics Guidelines on Good Publication Practice , the term "redundant publication" is defined this way:

"Redundant publication occurs when two or more papers, without full cross reference, share the same hypothesis, data, discussion points, or conclusions." In addition, it states: "(1) Published studies do not need to be repeated unless further confirmation is required. (2) Previous publication of an abstract during the proceedings of meetings does not preclude subsequent submission for publication, but full disclosure should be made at the time of submission. (3) Re-publication of a paper in another language is acceptable, provided that there is full and prominent disclosure of its original source at the time of submission. (4) At the time of submission, authors should disclose details of related papers, even if in a different language, and similar papers in press." Note that (2) states that it is generally acceptable to present a paper in a conference and then later publish exactly the same paper in a journal, as long as you mention to the editor that the paper has been publicly presented.

According to the paper Science journal editors’ views on publication ethics: Results of an international survey ,

"Breaches of publication ethics such as plagiarism, data fabrication and redundant publication are recognised as forms of research misconduct that can undermine the scientific literature." It also stated that redundant publication is an unethical practice. Of 16 ethical issues studied, redundant publication had the highest severity (that is, it caused editors the most concern---more than plagiarism or data fabrication).

Rather than asking what's acceptable, I think it's worthwhile to step back and think about the purpose of scientific publication. Your goal in publishing should be to disseminate useful ideas, not to create a publication record. If you have ten papers that are all very similar, it's hard for people to learn about your ideas because they won't have time to read all those papers. Just write one good one.

• 10 While I fully agree with you, you clearly are not at a university whose administration is full of bean counters. –  Jacques Carette Commented Feb 16, 2012 at 1:31
• 2 True. My university really values quality over quantity. The Provost recently advised us that it's better not to publish mediocre papers, even if the alternative is publishing less. –  David Ketcheson Commented Sep 20, 2012 at 15:57
• Alas, if only academia leaned toward quality, and not quantity! –  Paul Commented Jan 17, 2013 at 5:28

Personally, I have no qualms with submitting the same talk to multiple conferences; however, in my field (Chemical Engineering), we don't really do conference proceedings. Therefore, it's not such a big deal to present a work more than once; it's being given to different audiences that might not otherwise see the work, and it's not going into the publication record multiple times, so there really aren't any ethical violations going on.

However, in a field where conference papers are required to give a talk, then ethical rules demand that you disclose if a paper has been accepted previously. If you've changed the material enough, or introduced enough new material, then it's a little bit more of a grey area. But it's still better to err on the side of caution than to get caught out.

• 3 Essentially the same here (chemist). Conference proceedings papers don't earn you anything in chemistry (they often take about everything, and some even try to force you to submit a proceedings paper instead of having peer review and accepting only good papers). Things are different if there's a special issue about a conference in a proper journal and has normal peer review. Consequently, that's where the field moves. –  cbeleites Commented Nov 15, 2012 at 22:45

There are a few things to keep in mind:

• Submitted talks vs. invited talks. Many researchers will have given many talks on a subject, but if most of them are invited talks, the reason they're duplicates is because conference organizers have essentially asked for duplicates.
• I'd argue it isn't ethical to submit the same presentation, but a topic is a wide ranging thing. Heck, even a single study has a lot of aspects to it, and many conference presentations have less content than a single paper. For example, you might have a presentation at one conference that's highly technical, another for a different audience that's more practical/applied, etc. Those are different talks.
• Consider what you want to get out of it. Unless your field is one of those where presentations trump papers or themselves generate papers (CS comes to mind), presentations aren't that big of a deal on a CV such that an extra one or two will really put you over the edge. In my field for example, everyone knows there's certain conferences that will essentially accept as many talks as they have spaces to fill (and they have many spaces to fill), so as long as your science isn't egregiously wrong, you're probably going to get in. What you do get out of that is good contacts, and good advice. If you keep repeating the same thing over and over, your return on "investment" starts to dive.
• If your talk is going to be spun into a paper via conference proceedings or the like, be doubly cautious, and make sure if you are double-dipping in an experiment or the like that the resulting papers are clearly different as well. I don't know anyone who doesn't frown on duplicated papers, and more than one venue that will smack you down hard for trying to play a game like that.

• 6 Presentations do not trump papers in computer science; conference papers trump journal papers. –  JeffE Commented Feb 17, 2012 at 12:30

Important Deadlines

Friday, September 23, 2024:  Electronic submissions due

Friday, November 18, 2024:  Notification of acceptance or rejection

Thursday, December 1, 2024:  Camera-ready versions at the AAAI CRC site

Journal Track: Call for Papers

The journal track is designed to provide a forum to present diverse and important results from across the subdisciplines of Artificial Intelligence that have been published recently (from January 1st, 2023 to September 16, 2024) in selective journals, but have not been previously presented at AAAI or at any other major AI conference (such as IJCAI or ECAI) or sister conference (such as ML, NeurIPS, AAMAS, CP, KR or ICAPS).

The goal of this track is twofold:

1.    To provide authors an opportunity to present and discuss at AAAI important results published in journals that might otherwise not be submitted to a conference due to their length and complexity. Papers that differ from the traditional AAAI format and topics are welcome.

2.    To broaden the program with lines of work that are important to the AI enterprise as a whole but may otherwise be eclipsed by the main focus of conference level submissions at the moment.

Connection to Collaborative Bridge Theme

New communities often emerge when two or more disciplines come together, in order to explore new opportunities and perspectives; today both are plentiful. The purpose of this year’s collaborative bridge theme is to help cultivate this process. The Journal Track plays an essential role, by enriching the AAAI program with a diverse set of high-quality research results that demonstrate the breadth of AI, including topics that currently may be under-represented within the AAAI technical track. 

Paper Presentation

Each accepted paper in the Journal Track will be given a slot at the AAAI conference for a poster presentation. In addition, similar to main track publications, a subset of papers will be selected for oral presentation. At least one author of a journal track paper is expected to register to AAAI 2025 and to present the paper. Complete citations, abstracts and URLs of the original journal papers (if available from the publisher) will be published on the AAAI 2025 web site, as a permanent reference. Submission to the Journal Track will not require authors to produce a new version of the paper, such as an extended abstract.

Submission Requirements

Journal track submissions must meet the criteria outlined below.

Candidate papers must be published after January 1st, 2023 in one of the journals listed in the section below. Papers that are in press may be submitted as long as the final camera-ready version appears online on the journal’s website prior to the journal track’s submission deadline (September 23rd, 2024).  Extensions of papers that have previously been presented at AAAI or another major AI conference or sister conference (e.g., IJCAI, ECAI, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or ICAPS) may be submitted to this track only if they make a substantial novel contribution (on the order of what is expected of a regular AAAI submission at the minimum). Papers previously presented in a journal track of another conference (e.g., at IJCAI, ECML/PKDD, or ICAPS) will not be considered.

Eligible Journals

During this first year of the AAAI journal track, we will consider papers published in the following journals:

• Artificial Intelligence (AIJ)
• Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR)
• Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR)
• Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems
• Machine Learning (MLJ)
• Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
• Computational Linguistics
• International Journal on Computer Vision
• International Journal of Robotics Research
• IEEE Transactions on Robotics
• ACM Transactions on Economics and Computation

Assuming the track is successful, this list will likely be expanded in future years.

Paper Submission

Papers must be submitted through the JOURNAL TRACK SUBMISSION SITE. A submission must contain the following information in two parts:

• Full citation of the journal paper including url and date of publication.
• Url(s) of the conference paper(s).
• A statement summarizing the novel contribution of the journal article relative to the conference paper(s).
• One paragraph summarizing the contribution of the journal article.
• One paragraph describing the article’s broad interest and relevance to a general AI audience.

Submission Process

The Journal Track submission site is available at  JOURNAL TRACK SUBMISSION SITE . Please confirm it is the “AAAI-25 Journal Track” when submitting. Complete the online submission form and then submit all of the information required for the track as a PDF file.

Selection Process

Papers will be selected purely based on the criteria of relevance to the field of AI and whether the paper has been published (not accepted) between January 1st 2023 and the time of submission. Papers that have been accepted by a journal are considered to meet AAAI’s technical standard, without further peer review. The final decision on acceptance will be made by the track co-chairs. The decision of presentation format will be made by the AAAI program chairs, with input from the track chairs.

For More Information

Inquiries concerning submissions may be directed to the track co-chairs at  [email protected] . All other inquiries should be directed to AAAI at  [email protected] .

Privacy Overview

Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Financial Economics

The proliferation of large unstructured datasets along with advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology provides researchers in financial economics with new opportunities for data analysis, and it also changes the set of subjects these researchers are studying. As AI becomes increasingly important in making decisions using financial market data, it becomes crucial to study how AI interacts with both data resources and with human decisionmakers. 

To promote research on emerging issues related to the methodology, applications, and socioeconomic implications of the growing availability of large datasets and AI tools, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), with the generous support of the Office of Financial Research (OFR) and in collaboration with the Review of Financial Studies (RFS) , will convene a research conference on December 13, 2024. The program will be organized by RFS  Executive Editor Tarun Ramadorai of Imperial College London, and NBER Research Associates Itay Goldstein of the University of Pennsylvania, Chester Spatt of Carnegie Mellon University, and Mao Ye of Cornell University.

The organizers will consider submissions on topics including, but not limited to: 

 •  Unstructured Data Analysis and AI: The impact on financial markets of the growing use of AI technology to analyze unstructured data, such as text, images, audio, and video.

 •  Trading and AI: The impact of using AI in high-frequency trading, algorithmic trading, and the impacts of this use on financial markets.

 •  Big Data and AI in Investment: The rise of machines in asset management, particularly the growing analysis of high-dimensional datasets using machine learning techniques.

 •  Big Data and AI in Corporate Decisions: The impact of AI as well as other means of analyzing unstructured datasets and automating decision-making on corporate decisions, such as capital budgeting, working capital management, and regulatory compliance and reporting.

 •  Financial Institutions and Financial Intermediation: The impact of AI, fintech, and the analysis of large datasets on traditional financial institutions.

 •  AI and Regulation: The role of AI in detecting improper market conduct, the regulation of algorithms and winner-take-all markets, and strategies for ensuring accountability, fairness and transparency in AI models.

The organizers welcome submissions of both empirical and theoretical research papers and encourage submissions from scholars who are early in their careers, who are not NBER affiliates, and who are from under-represented groups in the financial economics profession.  Papers that are submitted for presentation at the conference may also be submitted to the RFS  under its dual review system at no extra cost. Papers that are rejected at any stage of this process are not considered to have been “rejected” at the RFS .  Authors may submit a future version of the same paper to the RFS , even if the paper is not selected for presentation at the conference. For a paper to be considered under the dual submission option, it may not be under review or invited revision at any journal, including the RFS, until the author has been notified of the outcome of the dual submission process. The details of the dual submission program may be found at http://sfs.org/dualsubmissionpolicy/. To be considered for inclusion on the program, papers must be uploaded by 11:59 pm EDT on Thursday, September 12, 2024 to one of the following sites:

For submissions to both the conference and the Review of Financial Studies

For submissions to the conference alone  

Please do not submit papers that have been accepted for publication or that will be published before the conference. Authors chosen to present papers will be notified in October, 2024. All presenters are expected to attend the meeting in person. The NBER will cover the travel and lodging cost of up to two presenters per paper.

The Thirty-Eighth Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2024) is an interdisciplinary conference that brings together researchers in machine learning, neuroscience, statistics, optimization, computer vision, natural language processing, life sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, and other adjacent fields. We invite submissions presenting new and original research on topics including but not limited to the following:

• Applications (e.g., vision, language, speech and audio, Creative AI)
• Deep learning (e.g., architectures, generative models, optimization for deep networks, foundation models, LLMs)
• Evaluation (e.g., methodology, meta studies, replicability and validity, human-in-the-loop)
• General machine learning (supervised, unsupervised, online, active, etc.)
• Infrastructure (e.g., libraries, improved implementation and scalability, distributed solutions)
• Machine learning for sciences (e.g. climate, health, life sciences, physics, social sciences)
• Neuroscience and cognitive science (e.g., neural coding, brain-computer interfaces)
• Optimization (e.g., convex and non-convex, stochastic, robust)
• Probabilistic methods (e.g., variational inference, causal inference, Gaussian processes)
• Reinforcement learning (e.g., decision and control, planning, hierarchical RL, robotics)
• Social and economic aspects of machine learning (e.g., fairness, interpretability, human-AI interaction, privacy, safety, strategic behavior)
• Theory (e.g., control theory, learning theory, algorithmic game theory)

Machine learning is a rapidly evolving field, and so we welcome interdisciplinary submissions that do not fit neatly into existing categories.

Authors are asked to confirm that their submissions accord with the NeurIPS code of conduct .

Formatting instructions:   All submissions must be in PDF format, and in a single PDF file include, in this order:

• The submitted paper
• Technical appendices that support the paper with additional proofs, derivations, or results 
• The NeurIPS paper checklist  

Other supplementary materials such as data and code can be uploaded as a ZIP file

The main text of a submitted paper is limited to nine content pages , including all figures and tables. Additional pages containing references don’t count as content pages. If your submission is accepted, you will be allowed an additional content page for the camera-ready version.

The main text and references may be followed by technical appendices, for which there is no page limit.

The maximum file size for a full submission, which includes technical appendices, is 50MB.

Authors are encouraged to submit a separate ZIP file that contains further supplementary material like data or source code, when applicable.

You must format your submission using the NeurIPS 2024 LaTeX style file which includes a “preprint” option for non-anonymous preprints posted online. Submissions that violate the NeurIPS style (e.g., by decreasing margins or font sizes) or page limits may be rejected without further review. Papers may be rejected without consideration of their merits if they fail to meet the submission requirements, as described in this document. 

Paper checklist: In order to improve the rigor and transparency of research submitted to and published at NeurIPS, authors are required to complete a paper checklist . The paper checklist is intended to help authors reflect on a wide variety of issues relating to responsible machine learning research, including reproducibility, transparency, research ethics, and societal impact. The checklist forms part of the paper submission, but does not count towards the page limit.

Please join the NeurIPS 2024 Checklist Assistant Study that will provide you with free verification of your checklist performed by an LLM here . Please see details in our  blog

Supplementary material: While all technical appendices should be included as part of the main paper submission PDF, authors may submit up to 100MB of supplementary material, such as data, or source code in a ZIP format. Supplementary material should be material created by the authors that directly supports the submission content. Like submissions, supplementary material must be anonymized. Looking at supplementary material is at the discretion of the reviewers.

We encourage authors to upload their code and data as part of their supplementary material in order to help reviewers assess the quality of the work. Check the policy as well as code submission guidelines and templates for further details.

Use of Large Language Models (LLMs): We welcome authors to use any tool that is suitable for preparing high-quality papers and research. However, we ask authors to keep in mind two important criteria. First, we expect papers to fully describe their methodology, and any tool that is important to that methodology, including the use of LLMs, should be described also. For example, authors should mention tools (including LLMs) that were used for data processing or filtering, visualization, facilitating or running experiments, and proving theorems. It may also be advisable to describe the use of LLMs in implementing the method (if this corresponds to an important, original, or non-standard component of the approach). Second, authors are responsible for the entire content of the paper, including all text and figures, so while authors are welcome to use any tool they wish for writing the paper, they must ensure that all text is correct and original.

Double-blind reviewing:   All submissions must be anonymized and may not contain any identifying information that may violate the double-blind reviewing policy.  This policy applies to any supplementary or linked material as well, including code.  If you are including links to any external material, it is your responsibility to guarantee anonymous browsing.  Please do not include acknowledgements at submission time. If you need to cite one of your own papers, you should do so with adequate anonymization to preserve double-blind reviewing.  For instance, write “In the previous work of Smith et al. [1]…” rather than “In our previous work [1]...”). If you need to cite one of your own papers that is in submission to NeurIPS and not available as a non-anonymous preprint, then include a copy of the cited anonymized submission in the supplementary material and write “Anonymous et al. [1] concurrently show...”). Any papers found to be violating this policy will be rejected.

OpenReview: We are using OpenReview to manage submissions. The reviews and author responses will not be public initially (but may be made public later, see below). As in previous years, submissions under review will be visible only to their assigned program committee. We will not be soliciting comments from the general public during the reviewing process. Anyone who plans to submit a paper as an author or a co-author will need to create (or update) their OpenReview profile by the full paper submission deadline. Your OpenReview profile can be edited by logging in and clicking on your name in https://openreview.net/ . This takes you to a URL "https://openreview.net/profile?id=~[Firstname]_[Lastname][n]" where the last part is your profile name, e.g., ~Wei_Zhang1. The OpenReview profiles must be up to date, with all publications by the authors, and their current affiliations. The easiest way to import publications is through DBLP but it is not required, see FAQ . Submissions without updated OpenReview profiles will be desk rejected. The information entered in the profile is critical for ensuring that conflicts of interest and reviewer matching are handled properly. Because of the rapid growth of NeurIPS, we request that all authors help with reviewing papers, if asked to do so. We need everyone’s help in maintaining the high scientific quality of NeurIPS.  

Please be aware that OpenReview has a moderation policy for newly created profiles: New profiles created without an institutional email will go through a moderation process that can take up to two weeks. New profiles created with an institutional email will be activated automatically.

If you have any questions, please refer to the FAQ: https://openreview.net/faq

Abstract Submission: There is a mandatory abstract submission deadline on May 15, 2024, six days before full paper submissions are due. While it will be possible to edit the title and abstract until the full paper submission deadline, submissions with “placeholder” abstracts that are rewritten for the full submission risk being removed without consideration. This includes titles and abstracts that either provide little or no semantic information (e.g., "We provide a new semi-supervised learning method.") or describe a substantively different claimed contribution.  The author list cannot be changed after the abstract deadline. After that, authors may be reordered, but any additions or removals must be justified in writing and approved on a case-by-case basis by the program chairs only in exceptional circumstances. 

Ethics review: Reviewers and ACs may flag submissions for ethics review . Flagged submissions will be sent to an ethics review committee for comments. Comments from ethics reviewers will be considered by the primary reviewers and AC as part of their deliberation. They will also be visible to authors, who will have an opportunity to respond.  Ethics reviewers do not have the authority to reject papers, but in extreme cases papers may be rejected by the program chairs on ethical grounds, regardless of scientific quality or contribution.  

Preprints: The existence of non-anonymous preprints (on arXiv or other online repositories, personal websites, social media) will not result in rejection. If you choose to use the NeurIPS style for the preprint version, you must use the “preprint” option rather than the “final” option. Reviewers will be instructed not to actively look for such preprints, but encountering them will not constitute a conflict of interest. Authors may submit anonymized work to NeurIPS that is already available as a preprint (e.g., on arXiv) without citing it. Note that public versions of the submission should not say "Under review at NeurIPS" or similar.

Dual submissions: Submissions that are substantially similar to papers that the authors have previously published or submitted in parallel to other peer-reviewed venues with proceedings or journals may not be submitted to NeurIPS. Papers previously presented at workshops are permitted, so long as they did not appear in a conference proceedings (e.g., CVPRW proceedings), a journal or a book.  NeurIPS coordinates with other conferences to identify dual submissions.  The NeurIPS policy on dual submissions applies for the entire duration of the reviewing process.  Slicing contributions too thinly is discouraged.  The reviewing process will treat any other submission by an overlapping set of authors as prior work. If publishing one would render the other too incremental, both may be rejected.

Anti-collusion: NeurIPS does not tolerate any collusion whereby authors secretly cooperate with reviewers, ACs or SACs to obtain favorable reviews. 

Author responses:   Authors will have one week to view and respond to initial reviews. Author responses may not contain any identifying information that may violate the double-blind reviewing policy. Authors may not submit revisions of their paper or supplemental material, but may post their responses as a discussion in OpenReview. This is to reduce the burden on authors to have to revise their paper in a rush during the short rebuttal period.

After the initial response period, authors will be able to respond to any further reviewer/AC questions and comments by posting on the submission’s forum page. The program chairs reserve the right to solicit additional reviews after the initial author response period.  These reviews will become visible to the authors as they are added to OpenReview, and authors will have a chance to respond to them.

After the notification deadline, accepted and opted-in rejected papers will be made public and open for non-anonymous public commenting. Their anonymous reviews, meta-reviews, author responses and reviewer responses will also be made public. Authors of rejected papers will have two weeks after the notification deadline to opt in to make their deanonymized rejected papers public in OpenReview.  These papers are not counted as NeurIPS publications and will be shown as rejected in OpenReview.

Publication of accepted submissions:   Reviews, meta-reviews, and any discussion with the authors will be made public for accepted papers (but reviewer, area chair, and senior area chair identities will remain anonymous). Camera-ready papers will be due in advance of the conference. All camera-ready papers must include a funding disclosure . We strongly encourage accompanying code and data to be submitted with accepted papers when appropriate, as per the code submission policy . Authors will be allowed to make minor changes for a short period of time after the conference.

Contemporaneous Work: For the purpose of the reviewing process, papers that appeared online within two months of a submission will generally be considered "contemporaneous" in the sense that the submission will not be rejected on the basis of the comparison to contemporaneous work. Authors are still expected to cite and discuss contemporaneous work and perform empirical comparisons to the degree feasible. Any paper that influenced the submission is considered prior work and must be cited and discussed as such. Submissions that are very similar to contemporaneous work will undergo additional scrutiny to prevent cases of plagiarism and missing credit to prior work.

Plagiarism is prohibited by the NeurIPS Code of Conduct .

Other Tracks: Similarly to earlier years, we will host multiple tracks, such as datasets, competitions, tutorials as well as workshops, in addition to the main track for which this call for papers is intended. See the conference homepage for updates and calls for participation in these tracks. 

Experiments: As in past years, the program chairs will be measuring the quality and effectiveness of the review process via randomized controlled experiments. All experiments are independently reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Financial Aid: Each paper may designate up to one (1) NeurIPS.cc account email address of a corresponding student author who confirms that they would need the support to attend the conference, and agrees to volunteer if they get selected. To be considered for Financial the student will also need to fill out the Financial Aid application when it becomes available.
