Paper Submission

All accepted works will be published in the conference proceedings book with ISBN, in electronic format, as well as in the website of the conference. 

Organizers will also award the "Best student paper" presented in this edition of CERI. To be eligible for this award at least one of the co-authors of the paper must be an student, and it should be indicated during the submission process.

In CERI 2014 submission is divided into two categories: regular papers and posters.

• Regular papers must not exceed 12 pages (either in English or Spanish) following the LNCS Springer-Verlag format and will be presented at the scientific sessions of the conference.
• Posters must not exceed 4 pages in the same format and will be exhibited and presented in a special poster session.

Contributions either in Spanish or English will be accepted, *but only those written in English would be considered for publication in the special issue*.

CERI specially encourages PhD students and researchers in the early stage of their careers to submit their works. Also, works from the industry will be considered in the area of IR applications.

All papers must be submitted in anonymized form. Thus, author names and organization, references, acknowledgements, and any other information that might allow to identify the authors should be removed from the initial submissions. Papers already published, accepted or under review in any other conference or journal will not be accepted. We also expect that authors do not submit their works to any other event during the reviewing period of CERI 2014. Regarding the plagiarism considerations, ACM Plagiarism Policy will be applied.

Papers will be submitted as PDF files through the online submission system. At least one author of each accepted work must register to the conference, by the date indicated by the organizers, and present his paper.
