In order to submit a paper to the DMeC 2021 main track you must register as an author at the conference management system: at easychair.org
Types of submissions
Submissions to the conference may be made in the form of (a) completed, full papers or (b) long abstracts, though authors are encouraged to submit full papers. Authors of papers and long abstracts submitted to the conference accept that their submissions, if finally accepted, be published by Springer in the conference book; they also commit to presenting them at the conference.
The book will be made available to the attendees for free at the conference. All completed papers must therefore be formatted according to a Springer Template (maximum 8 pages total including tables, figures and references; extra pages up to 4 would be allowed, though, but they would be charged as indicated at section “Registration”). Long abstracts (minimum of 4 to up to 6 pages) may also be formatted according to such a template). All proposed papers must be submitted in electronic form (PDF format) through the conference management system at Easychair.
All submissions will be refereed by at least two experts in the field based on originality, significance, quality and clarity. Every submitted paper to the conference will be reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee.
Submitting papers
All papers must be formatted according to the Springer template. All proposed papers must be submitted in electronic form (PDF format).
Review process
The submitted contributions will be examined first by the organizers to decide its suitability with the conference’s scope. All contributions fitting the scope will undergo a thorough review process. They will be refereed by at least two experts in the field based on relevance, originality, significance, quality, and clarity. The reviewers will be mainly chosen from the Program Committee.
If manuscripts are accepted, or conditionally accepted, the authors will have several weeks to eventually revise, when requested, their first draft submitted manuscripts based on the reviewers’ comments and send a camera-ready paper and other files required for accepted papers (accurate information about the final files will be provided upon acceptance).
Publication
Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, to be published by Springer. It is mandatory, though, that at least one author of every accepted paper be registered by March 5th 2021. Accepted papers not satisfying this requirement, but registered after this deadline, will be invited to be presented at the conference, though will NOT be included in the book.
Every registered scholar will have a complimentary copy of the Springer book. Also, and more interesting for their international diffusion, papers will be worldwide available at the Springer’s online platform and related journals’ databases.
Presentation
At least one of the authors will be required to register and present the paper in order to include the paper in the conference proceedings. IMPORTANT, till the COVID-19 pandemic is gone, this conference will be fully online. Only conference fees for online presentation will apply. All scholars having registered will have access to the platform used for online presentations and will be allowed to see and interact with authors presenting their works.
