Papers must report original research not accepted or under submission to any journal or conference with public proceedings (previous submissions in informal workshops or as posters are allowed, but must be indicated).

A submitted paper must be self-contained and in English.

Submissions

Papers must be submitted in PDF format to the paper submission Web site. PDF files must have all non-standard fonts embedded. After upload, please check the copy stored on the site. Submissions that do not view or print properly may be rejected without a chance to rectify the problem. Please contact wsdm2011@easychair.org for any questions.

Review Process

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three regular PC members and one or two senior PC members and is single-blind (that is, the identity of authors is known to the reviewers). Decisions will take into account novelty, technical depth, elegance, practical application, impact, and presentation. For some papers, the PC may ask for clarifications from the authors during an author feedback phase.

Publication

All accepted papers are published in the ACM Digital Library. Selected accepted papers will be invited to submit their expanded versions for publication in the ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology (ACM TIST, http://tist.acm.org) through an expedient review and publication process.
