> SUBMISSION TYPES
> 
> Regular Papers
> This format is suitable for original research, which is completed work at the time of submission
> and, regardless of the length of the paper, is a self-sufficient scientific contribution. Papers can
> be full papers (12 pages, excluding references) or short papers (6 pages, excluding references)
> in Springer LNCS format, and describe work not presented, published or simultaneously
> submitted elsewhere. Accepted papers will be included in the Springer LNCS conference
> proceedings and be devoted a timeslot for oral presentation. Selected papers will be invited for
> submission to Behaviour & Information Technology journal (Taylor & Francis).
> 
> Extended Abstracts
> We also welcome extended abstract submissions to showcase the results of already conducted
> studies where authors do not wish to publish them as regular papers in the conference
> proceedings but rather present them at the conference for discussions that can shape the final
> version (that may be submitted elsewhere later). The studies will be also be devoted a timeslot
> for oral presentation in a special session. Extended abstracts must not be more than 2 pages in
> CEUR format (including references). Accepted abstracts will be included in the adjunct
> conference proceedings (CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 1 column style, see here). Selected
> papers in this category, based on their quality, level of timeliness and relevance, and
> completion, will also be invited for submission to Behaviour & Information Technology
> journal.
> 
> Poster Presentations
> This format is suitable for descriptions of smaller studies, project outlines, literature reviews or
> work-in-progress. Authors should submit a 2-page abstract in CEUR format (1 column style).
> Accepted posters will be included in the adjunct conference proceedings (CEUR Workshop
> Proceedings). Posters will be displayed and presented during a dedicated session of the
> conference.
> 
> Demonstrations and Artefacts
> The Persuasive 2025 track on Demonstrations and Artefact is intended to foster discussion and
> exchange of ideas among researchers and practitioners from academia and industry by
> demonstrating or presenting hardware and software products or artefacts, including those in
> virtual settings (e.g., simulation systems, VR, and games), that range from early research
> prototypes to mature production-ready systems. The contribution should be the result of
> original, innovative work, including solving novel technical or research problems, and/or
> creating novel individual or industrial UI/UX. Accepted demonstrations or presentations shall be
> presented live during the conference.
> 
> Doctoral Consortium Papers
> The Doctoral Consortium is a special session of the conference where PhD students can receive
> advice in a constructive atmosphere. Students present and discuss their research with other PhD
> students and a panel of established researchers in the area of persuasive technology. Students
> interested in participating in the Doctoral Consortium should submit a 4-page abstract in CEUR
> format (1 column style) describing their research question, its position with respect to the state
> of the art, their research plans and methodology, ideas, and results achieved so far. Accepted
> abstracts will be included in the adjunct conference proceedings (CEUR Workshop Proceedings)
> unless opted out by the student.
> 
> Workshops and Tutorial Proposals
> Workshops are meant to gather a number of people to work interactively on an emerging topic
> and exchange ideas. Tutorials are intended to help people attending the conference organize a
> related scientific meeting on a specific topic or instruct on a specific practice. Approved
> workshops and tutorials will be announced on the conference website. Tutorials and workshops
> will take place during a half- or full-day session before the conference. If you want to organize
> a workshop, please submit a proposal as a maximum 4-page description in Springer LNCS
> format (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-
> guidelines), including a description of the topic, motivation, organization (including the list of
> organizing members, how the organizers will form a program committee, duration of the
> workshop and mode of delivery: in-person/hybrid), expected outcome, and supporting
> materials (if applicable).
