Call For Papers

The 21st version of the International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries holds the general theme “Part of the Machine: turning complex into scalable” and wants to create a dialogue that will address the challenge of creatively transforming these highly synthesised environments into solutions that can scale for the benefit of varied communities.

Digital libraries are complex systems that respond to the needs of multiple communities with escalating requirements. Undoubtedly the effect of big data in research and development is immense and their collection, aggregation, analysis and interpretation is currently the main trend. However, smaller developments are equally interesting in giving the example of managing highly structured and organised information resources.

In this series of conferences, the dialectic between theory and practice is intense, but always aims to produce a state of the art imagery of digital libraries, or else networked information systems that affect the life of academia, education, culture, society and industry. The components of this “machinery” are interconnected and claim the skills and knowledge of multidisciplinary researchers.

Individual researchers and research groups are invited to submit full papers, short papers, posters and demonstrations on the topics above, but on other relevant topics as well. Their research papers should describe original, unpublished research that is not (and will not be) simultaneously under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Students on any of the above-mentioned topics are encouraged to participate to the Doctoral Consortium. A four pages paper, which will appear in the Proceedings volume, is required to be submitted through the Doctoral Consortium track.

# Publication in Conference Proceedings #
The TPDL2017 proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, ISSN 0302-9743). Therefore all submissions should conform to the formatting instructions described in the “For Authors” webpage. In case your paper includes images or screenshots please ensure that you set image compression at 600dpi when you produce your PDF file.

All full and short papers, posters and demonstrations must be submitted in electronic format (PDF) via the conference’s submission page.

According to the registration regulation for TPDL2017, inclusion of papers in the proceedings is conditional upon registration of at least one author per paper.

# Post-conference Journal Publication #
The TPDL2017 Program Committee will also nominate papers they consider highlight work of significance in the field. Authors of these papers are then invited to submit extended version (at least 30% new material) of their papers that expand upon the description of their work by providing more depth and detail on their technical approaches and results. These submissions then go through the International Journal of Digital Libraries (IJDL, ISSN 1432-5012) review process before acceptance in a focused issue of the journal.
