The 24^th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering

August 20th, 2024 to August 23rd, 2024
San Jose, CA, USA

Submission Information

DocEng is a single-track conference attended by a community of academic and industrial researchers. At least one author for each paper or application note and all workshop organizers and presenters must register to attend DocEng 2023.

The ACM is providing new templates which improve the usability, functionality and accessibility of the documents such that your papers are more resilient to archiving and digital publication formats. Paper templates and instructions are available at the ACM Article Submissions page. We provide the following additional tips:

• LaTeX users: please use the ACM Conference Proceedings Primary Article Template and in the preamble, please call the acmart class using the sigconf format. For reviewing purposes, select also the review option, which numbers the lines. The acmart class should, therefore, be called using \documentclass[sigconf, review]{acmart}.

• Word users: the ACM Article Submissions page provides the revised word template. This template provides a single-column submission template which, if your paper is accepted, can be used with the ACM macro which makes it easier to apply cross-referencing and linking within the document. To view your submission in the final submission style and check that the submitted paper remains within the 10-page limit, you will need to

  • Ensure that the font used within the text paragraphs is Linux Libertine
  • Set the page layout to have two columns with the following margins:
    • Top 2.65cm
    • Left 1.9cm
    • Right 1.9cm
    • Bottom 2.82cm
    • Gutter 0cm
    • Column width 8.47cm
    • Column spacing 0.85cm
  • Set the header and footer to be the same on all pages, including the first page
  • Set the line spacing to Multiple with a spacing of 1.1

Alternatively, you may make use of the Interim Word Document Layout which is available here. However, be aware that, if the paper is accepted, you may need to reformat the paper using the new template.

• **Papers must be submitted through EasyChair (Link to be provided soon)

Each submission must fit in one of the following categories:

• Full papers describing complete works of research (up to 10 pages).
• Short papers describing smaller complete works of research or novel challenges or visions (up to 4 pages).
• Application notes/demos describing systems or tools of interest (up to 4 pages).

Papers must describe unpublished work that is not currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitters should also be aware of ACM’s Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism.

All submissions will undergo a rigorous single blind review process considering the originality of work, the quality of research or analysis of experience, the relevance to document engineering and the quality of presentation of ideas.

Submission of Auxiliary Material (Full papers and Short papers):

All auxiliary material should be submitted in a folder called "aux" or "auxiliary" within the .gz or .tar file submitted with the pdf and source files of the paper.

Auxiliary material may include videos, survey text, experimental protocols, source code, data and any other material which may help with the replicability of your work. Any non-video auxiliary material should include a "README" file with a description of the materials. Auxiliary material will be uploaded on the ACM digital library with your paper. Please keep in mind that not everyone who reads the paper will necessarily view the auxiliary material, so your submission must stand on its own, and will be reviewed as such.

Video figures do not have a specified limit for duration, although we recommend staying within 10 minutes.

Submission of Supplemental Material (Application Notes only):

All supplemental material should be submitted in a folder called "sup" or "supplementary" within the .gz or .tar file submitted with the pdf and source files of the paper.

Supplemental material may include for example, a video of the planned demonstration or other audio-visual content that helps a reader understand the system or application. It forms an integral part of the published paper and reviewers are instructed to view this material as part of the reviewing process.

Video figures do not have a specified limit for duration, although we recommend staying within 10 minutes.
