Final submissions should be submitted via the START conference submission system.

The submission deadlines for papers to be published in the Proceedings of TC46 are the following:

(NOTE: Actual dates for these will be published late July or early August 2024)

• For papers related to academic submissions – “TBC”;
• Papers for Posters, if submitted on or before 10 September – also “TBC“;
• For post facto papers reporting on the results of Workshops and Panels – “TBC“;
• As non-academic / user papers , similar to those reporting on Workshops and Panels, also will not undergo peer review, authors or these optional papers also have until “TBC“;
• Papers for Posters submitted until the xyz deadline, the deadline for associated papers is “TBC“.
• As was the case for 2021, 2022, and 2023 AsLing will provide a separate site for authors to upload final manuscripts of academic papers or final versions of poster papers following peer review. This will be announced at a later date.

• Submissions can be edited or corrected up until the deadline.

  Authors should please check out the templates and other instructions they will be expected to adhere to when preparing and submitting their final papers and posters. To assist authors, we provide links to these, below.

Manuscripts of all final papers and posters must be submitted using one of the template formats provided. For papers the word limit is 5,000 words, while for poster papers the limit is 2,000 words; word limits EXCLUDE references and the abstract which should be between 150 and 200 words.

Formal papers describing workshops should adhere to the rules for final papers connected to talks. Non-academic papers expanding on user session talks should follow the same general format as other final papers, starting with an abstract, followed by the body of the paper, and ending with (in these cases, optional) references and bibliography. The body of non-academic papers may be structured freely. A summing up or conclusions section as the final part of the body is desirable in these papers, but not mandatory.
