Hi!

  • About the template: we’ll post a link to the template next week. Stay tuned!
  • The proceedings will be published with CEUR. At first we wanted to go with OASICS, but we decided to choose a free one.
  • If authors want to publish their paper with JOHD, they will need to extend it, to make sure it’s not exactly the same.
  • About the video system: yes, that is the goal!

Equally delighted and excited about our second keynote speaker: Dong Nguyen, working at the Department of Information and Computing Sciences at Utrecht University!

Details about both talks will follow soon, but I can already tell you that it’s gonna be :exploding_head: and :star_struck:!

I know that it may sound impossible, but: I’ve never wrote an academic paper using LaTeX! I will figure it out, since I know how it works, but maybe adding some links to first-time LaTeX guides to website could be useful for newcomers?

That’s an excellent idea! I’ll add more details later, but I would already recommend using the online platform Overleaf (https://www.overleaf.com/).

Hi @ash! I created some instructions here: CHR LaTeX Instructions. Let me know if that helps!

Thank you! That’s really useful

Hi!

How strict is the “up to 2 pages of references” rule? It seems rather arbitrary (same number of pages for references if one submits an 8-page or a 16-page paper) and doesn’t really allow to properly cite and discuss previous work (in our case at least).

15

Hmm. Something went wrong there. I believe it should be 4 for the 16 pages paper. We won’t be too strict about it. I’ll update the website.

We received requests to extend our submission deadline. As a present to you, we offer a, one time only, extension of a week. The new deadline will be July 27.

As a ping to this: I’ve been in a day-long remote workshop with BigBlueButton today and frankly this was a very smooth experience, so if you haven’t picked a solution yet I’d recommend giving it a spin

Is there any guidance regarding the length of revised submissions? Is it permissible to extend the length of our final drafts past stated limits by a page or two in order to address reviewer comments?

21

Sorry for the delayed response.
After some deliberation, we decided to stick to the page limits in the CfP.

For long papers, that is a maximum length of 16 pages with 4 pages of references.
For short papers, 8 pages with 2 pages of references.

We’ve reconsidered our earlier decision. We all benefit from some additional pages to better interact with the reviews:

Long papers may use two additional pages, and short papers may use one.

Will the presentations (not the papers) be posted online/disseminated after the event? To include a music example I need to request copyright permission from a publisher, and they’ll want to know how visible it will be.

24

Hi! Only when authors agree to that. Otherwise, the presentations will be only visible to the participants of the workshop.
