Dear colleagues,
Please find the 1st cfp for the annual ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on
Digital Libraries (JCDL) below.
_***JCDL 2022 - Bridging Worlds*_
ACM/IEEE JCDL 2022 in Cologne - Germany will be the debut of our
community in Europe since the foundation of JCDL. Our goal is to
reinforce the Digital Libraries community and simultaneously bring
together researchers and practitioners from all over the world.
***Call for Papers**
*The annual ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) is the
primary international event for the inter- and multi-disciplinary
community of academics and practitioners in digital libraries coming
from computer, information and social sciences, and other related
disciplines. JCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term digital
libraries, including notions of managing, operating, developing,
curating, evaluating, or utilizing collections of
data/information/knowledge in various domains.
*JCDL 2022 - Bridging Worlds*. In this global pandemic that put many of
us into lockdown, quarantine, and separation for a long time, we will do
our best to bring together communities and people again. As digital
libraries are traditionally strong in connecting the digital and the
physical world, we will pick up this heritage and establish a hybrid
format that is as open as possible to everyone.

Research Papers: Variable Page Length
JCDL 2022 will implement a variable paper length policy for research
papers. There is no longer a distinction between long and short papers,
nor a need of condensing or enlarging medium-length submissions. The
maximum paper length is 10 pages in content plus unrestricted space for
references. The minimum paper length is 4 pages in content plus
unrestricted space for references. Any page length in between is allowed.
Paper length should be commensurate with contribution size and authors
should submit a paper whose length reflects what is needed for the
content of the work. The reviewers will assess whether the contribution
is appropriate for the given length. Longer papers may be given more
presentation time during the conference. We hope this new streamlined
process will preserve the variety of paper lengths and foster the
exchange of ideas without creating an artificial distinction among them.
Reviewers will be explicitly advised to judge the quality of a paper and
not its length.
Late Breaking, Datasets and Demos
We additionally invite 2-page papers:
* Late breaking results present new insights or information about
research that was completed after the full paper submission deadline
in January.
* Preliminary work: submissions describing preliminary but novel ideas
or results not previously published in other venues.
* Dataset submissions are a new category that allow description of
research relevant datasets. These need to be either fully
publicly-available or have to contain a publicly available subset.
* Demonstrations showcase innovative digital libraries technology and
applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your
colleagues in a high-visibility setting.
The presentation type of late breaking, preliminary work, dataset and
demo submission will be decided during the reviewing process.
All submissions must be original works, not previously published or
under review for publication elsewhere, in English, in PDF format, and
in the current ACM two-column conference format. Suitable LaTeX, Word,
and Overleaf
<https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/acm-official>templates are
available from the ACM Website
<https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>(use “sigconf”
proceedings template for LaTeX and the Interim Template for Word).
All submissions will be rigorously peer-reviewed in a *double-blind
reviewing process*. Submissions must be *anonymous *and all references
to authors’ works have to be anonymised. Submissions are to be made via
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2022
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcdl2022>>
All accepted papers will be included in the proceedings and will be
presented at the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper
is required to register for, and present the work at the conference at
sight in Cologne. In case of travelling restrictions, authors will be
enabled to present the work remotely.
Selected best papers will be invited for a special issue to be published
with the International Journal on Digital Libraries (IJDL), Springer.
