Submitted papers must describe substantial, original, completed, and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included.
CLiC-it 2024 allows for a multiple submission policy. In case of acceptance of the paper in other venues, the authors must communicate this information to the CLiC-it 2024 Chairs as soon as possible.
Paper types and format
Papers may consist of up to five (5) pages of content, plus unlimited pages of acknowledgments, references and appendices. Upon acceptance, final versions of papers will be given one additional page of content, so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.
Papers can be either in English or Italian, with the abstract in English. Accepted papers will be published on-line and will be presented at the conference either orally or as a poster.
Reviewing will NOT be blind, so there is no need to remove author information from manuscripts.
The required template for CLiC-it submissions must be compatible with CEUR (https://ceur-ws.org/). You can download the conference-adapted version at the following links: LaTeX template (https://clic2024.ilc.cnr.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/CLiC-it-2024-template.zip) and Word template (https://clic2024.ilc.cnr.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/CLiC_it_2024_template.docx). Should you encounter any issues with the compilation (as the CEUR template has historically presented some challenges and is not modifiable without risking exclusion from the proceedings), we provide a read-only Overleaf template (https://www.overleaf.com/read/sjxmxsssfvyb#c76746). This template can be accessed and cloned to help resolve any technical difficulties.
Please note that as stated in the CEUR guidelines (https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html), “The minimum length of a regular or short paper should be five “standard” pages (=2500 chars per page, calculated from a sample of LNCS one-column papers).”
Research Communication Papers
CLiC-it 2024 adopts a parallel submission policy for outstanding papers accepted in 2023 by major publication venues, namely the major international CL conferences (workshops excluded) or international journals. These contributions can be submitted to CLiC-it 2024 as short research communications. Research communications will not be published in the conference proceedings, they serve primarily to promote the dissemination of high-quality research within the Italian CL community. Submitted research communications must be in the scope of the CLiC-it 2024 conference.
The authors of papers that meet the above criteria are invited to submit a written (maximum) one-page abstract of the original paper, including the paper’s title and authors as well as a pointer to the original conference or journal where the paper was published.
If needed, research communications will undergo a selection process overseen by the conference chairs. Since these papers have already been reviewed, the selection criteria will primarily consider their original publication venue. Priority will be granted to papers that align most closely with the conference program, ensuring a balanced representation across various conference topics.
