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

- Open Policy/Open Government/Open Law

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.
