Submission

We invite submissions of papers (up to 8 pages), representing original, previously unpublished research, innovative approaches and resource types, use cases or in-depth discussions.

Submissions must use the PDF file format and must adopt the style of the ACM Proceedings.

Submissions that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review.

All submissions must be submitted online through the EasyChair system following the submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=meda2018.

Authors of all accepted papers will be invited to provide an extended version of their MEDA submission to be included in the Data Journal. Data is an open access journal on data in science, indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) - Web of Science and Inspec (IET).

To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the MEDA2018 Program Committee. All reviews will be double blind, and hence authors are instructed not to include their identity, affiliation(s) or contact details, and to anonymity any references that would reveal the authorship of the paper. Papers submitted to other conferences or journals must state this fact.

At least one author of each paper must register using the JCDL registration page to have the paper published in the MEDA-2018 Proceedings. All accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. The registration for JCDL2018 workshops (including MEDA 2018) will be managed by the JCDL organizers. Information is not updated yet, but from our experience with the last edition of JCDL, the fee ranged from 50 to 150 dollars, depending on the type of registration. Early registration is expected to end around 30 April. Please come back later or visit JCDL registration page for updated information.

Venue

MEDA-2018 will be held as a half-day workshop at JCDL2018 - Joint Conference on Digital Libraries, in the afternoon of the 6th of June, 2018, in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. The JCDL-2018 website offers detailed information about the city, the venue, how to get there, visa and accommodation opportunities.
