About the Conference
--------------------

OpenSym is the only conference that brings together the different 
strands of open collaboration research and practice, seeking to create 
synergies and inspire new collaborations between people from computer 
science, information science, social science, humanities, and everyone 
interested in understanding open collaboration and how it is changing 
our society.
This year’s conference will be held in Paris, France on August 22-24, 
2018.  A Doctoral Symposium will take place on August 21, 2018.
OpenSym is held in-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB and ACM SIGSOFT and the 
conference proceedings will be archived in the ACM digital library like 
all prior editions.


Submission Information and Instructions
---------------------------------------
Topics: The conference provides peer-reviewed research tracks on 
subjects related to open collaboration including:
- Open Collaboration Research, esp. Wikis and Social Media
- Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS)
- Open Data, Open Access, and Open Science
- Open Education
- IT-Driven Open Innovation
- Open Policy/Open Government/Open Law
- Wikipedia and Wikimedia Research
Paper Presentation: OpenSym 2018 will be organized as a one track 
conference in order to emphasize the interdisciplinary character of this 
conference and to encourage discussion.
Submission Deadline: The research paper submission deadline is March 
15th 2018. Submitted papers should present integrative reviews or 
original reports of substantive new work: theoretical, empirical, and/or 
in the design, development and/or deployment of novel concepts, systems, 
and mechanisms. Research papers will be reviewed to meet rigorous 
academic standards of publication. Papers will be reviewed for 
relevance, conceptual quality, innovation and clarity of presentation.
All the submissions are done via the EasyChair platform, here: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=opensym2018
Paper Length: There is no minimum or maximum length for submitted 
papers. Rather, reviewers will be instructed to weigh the contribution 
of a paper relative to its length. Papers should report research 
thoroughly but succinctly: brevity is a virtue. A typical length of a 
“long research paper” is 10 pages (formerly the maximum length limit and 
the limit on OpenSym tracks), but may be shorter if the contribution can 
be described and supported in fewer pages—shorter, more focused papers 
(called “short research papers” previously) are encouraged and will be 
reviewed like any other paper. While we will review papers longer than 
10 pages, the contribution must warrant the extra length. Reviewers will 
be instructed to reject papers whose length is incommensurate with the 
size of their contribution. Papers should be formatted in ACM SIGCHI 
paper format. Reviewing is not double-blind so manuscripts do not need 
to be anonymized.
Posters: As in previous years, OpenSym will also be hosting a poster 
session at the conference. To propose a poster, authors should submit an 
extended abstract (not more than 4 pages) describing the content of the 
poster which will be published in a non-archival companion proceedings 
to the conference. Posters should use the ACM SIGCHI templates for 
extended abstracts. An example of a poster abstract can be found here. 
Reviewing is not double-blind so abstracts do not need to be anonymized.
Paper Proceedings: OpenSym is held in-cooperation with ACM SIGWEB and 
ACM SIGSOFT and the conference proceedings will be archived in the ACM 
digital library like all prior editions. OpenSym seeks to accommodate 
the needs of the different research disciplines it draws on including 
disciplines with archival conference proceedings and disciplines where 
authors usually present at conferences and publish later. Authors, whose 
submitted papers have been accepted for presentation at the conference 
have a choice of:
having their paper become part of the official proceedings, archived in 
the ACM Digital Library,
having their paper published in the conference website only, with no 
transfer of copyright from the authors,
having no publication record at all but only the presentation at the 
conference.
Response from authors: For the second time at OpenSym, authors will be 
given the opportunity to write a response to their reviews before final 
decisions are made. This should be treated as an opportunity to correct 
any mistakes or misconceptions in the reviews as well as to propose 
minor changes that the authors can make during the two weeks between 
notification and the camera-ready deadline.
Important Dates
