On the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) or AI-assisted technologies in research papers

When submitting to WER 2025, the authors acknowledge that they comply with the Generative AI usage policy, based on existing policies proposed by IEEE, ACM, and Springer.

It is forbidden to: (1) List Generative AI tools and technologies, such as ChatGPT, as authors of works; and (2) Use texts or sections entirely produced by Generative AI tools.

Authors are allowed (with explicit disclosure in the acknolwedgements) to: Use Generative AI tools to create parts of the content, with disclosure in the paper acknowledgements indicating what whas generated and which tool was used. It is the authors responsibility to check the terms of use of the tool. Acknowledgement example: "ChatGPT was used to generate the first paragraph of Section 3 and to generate Table 3.2."

Authors are allowed (no need to acknowledge) to: (1) Use AI-assisted technologies to improve the quality of images in terms of contrast and clarity; and (2) Utilize Generative AI tools to edit and improve tue quality of existing text (such as using an assistant like Grammarly to improve spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, or engagement).

Submission Guidelines
All papers must be submitted through the Easychair submission system in PDF format only, following LNCS format.

Submissions must be written in Portuguese, Spanish, or English.

Submissions to the Regular Resesarch Track must present original results on all aspects of Requirements Engineering from the research, teaching, and industrial viewpoints. The selection process will consider applicability and relevance to Requirements Engineering, originality, and clarity.

The WER-RT uses a double-blind review process. All sumbissions (and supplemental materials) must be appropriately anonymized in compliance with the following guidelines:

Authors' names and affiliations must not be visible anywhere in the paper;
Acknowledgements must be anonymized or removed for the review process.
Self-citations should be included where necessary but must use the third person. For example, "as shown in our previos user study [2]" is not allowed, while "as shown in Smith et al. [2]" is acceptable. (In this case, citation [2] does NOT break anonymization).
Logos and other organizational affiliations in images must be blurred.
Follow these guidelines to prevent submissions from being desk-rejected.

Full papers should not exceed 14 pages following LNCS page format.

Any paper that exceeds the page limit, lies beyond the scope of the conference, or does not follow the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected.

All sumbissions will be revised by at least three program committee members.

All accepted papers will be published with Open Access through the WERpapers repository.
