but reviewers will be able to disclose their identities if they wish, by
signing their reviews.
- Accepted papers will be published in open access proceedings by IOS
Press, and the text of all the reviews (excluding the scores) of all the
accepted papers will be posted on the conference website and will be
archived on Zenodo as publicly available material.
- At least one author of each accepted paper must present it in person
and therefore register for the conference at the ONSITE rate.
- All authors are strongly suggested to provide optional links to code,
materials, and datasets during the submission process - we will have
specific optional fields in the EasyChair submission form - the review
process will take these into account when provided. To anonymise resources
for the reviewing process, authors can use services like *Anonymous
GitHub* <https://anonymous.4open.science/> or figshare/Zenodo as
described *here*
<https://github.com/dgraziotin/disclose-data-dbr-first-then-opendata?tab=rea…>.

the Open Research Knowledge Graph (*https://orkg.org* <https://orkg.org>)
during the submission process - we will have a specific optional field in
the EasyChair submission form.
Review and Evaluation Criteria
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three Programme Committee
members. The reviewing process is double-blind. However, reviewers can
disclose their identity by signing their reviews and/or adding one of their

references). These submissions are expected to present comprehensive,
mature research findings, including in-depth theoretical or practical
insights.
- *Short papers* should be a *maximum of 6 pages* (excluding
references). These submissions can include preliminary findings, innovative
ideas, or position papers that aim to spark discussion and exploration.
References are not included in the page count, so authors may add
additional pages for relevant citations if needed. This flexibility allows
authors to fully reference foundational and related work to strengthen the
context and impact of their research.
