Dear Colleagues

Please find the Call for Late-breaking results, Preliminary work, Datasets, and Demonstrations for the annual ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) 2022 below.

Hello, how's everyone holding up?!

This is a call for Late-breaking results, Preliminary work, Datasets, and Demonstrations for the Joint Conference on Digital Library (JCDL) 2022. ACM/IEEE JCDL 2022 in Cologne - Germany. It 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. This year, it will be a hybrid conference with the physical venue in Cologne, Germany, June 20-24, 2022.

The Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. The late-breaking results, preliminary work, datasets, and demos track is a great way to get feedback on early-stage work, initiate collaborations, and discuss emerging issues in digital libraries research with the larger community.

If you would like to be a part of the fun this year in Cologne, please do submit your work!

Full call for papers are available at: https://2022.jcdl.org/cfp-late-breaking-demo-papers/

Dual Submission Policy

Papers submitted to JCDL 2022 should be substantially different from papers that have been previously published, or accepted for publication, or that are under review at other venues. Exceptions to this rule are:

• Submission is permitted for papers presented or to be presented at conferences or workshops without proceedings.

• Submission is permitted for papers that have previously been made available as a technical report (e.g., in institutional archives or preprint archives like arXiv). However, we discourage this since it places anonymity at risk; in particular, please do not publish your paper at arXiv and submit to JCDL at the same time, some days before, or during the reviewing period of JCDL.

If your paper already is available as a technical report:

• You might not want to use the exact same title and abstract for your JCDL submission (in case of acceptance at JCDL, the title of your submission still might be changed “back”).

• Please do not cite your technical report and make some effort to avoid any issues that may harm the double-blindness of your submission. Reviewers will receive guidance that ask them to refrain from trying to break blindness if at all possible too, but be aware that the availability of an available technical report for an JCDL submission can cause issues.
