SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN!

The Program Committee welcomes submissions on any topic related to the field of science of science and innovation, broadly defined. We seek abstracts and papers from researchers across many disciplines from academia, government, as well as the private sector, and we especially welcome submissions from early-career scholars and researchers from underrepresented groups.

Key Dates:

  • Submission deadline: *EXTENDED 1 WEEK* March 31st, 2024 (23:59, AoE timezone)

  • Notification of acceptance: April 15th, 2024

  • Presenter registration deadline: May 1st, 2024 (hard deadline)

Limited amount of funds will be made available to select undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs with accepted papers to the conference. This ICSSI Travel Support Program includes up to $300 in travel reimbursements plus a waiver of the conference registration fee. The travel award is intended to supplement other sources of funding for individuals to travel to and attend the ICSSI conference to present their papers. Please apply on Travel Support.

Submission Guidelines:

Please follow the abstract template guidelines for formatting instructions. Note that abstracts should be formatted as a PDF file no larger than 20MB. Submissions that exceed the 2-page limit will be automatically rejected. Please use 12 point font and 1" margins.


Submission should include a title, a list of 3 keywords, the "field" to which the project makes its greatest contribution, and an extended abstract (= main text of the submission). The abstract should outline the main theoretical contribution, data and methods used, findings, and the impact of the work, whichever is relevant. Authors are encouraged to include figures and/or tables in their submission but note that the two-page limit is inclusive of figures and tables. For your EasyChair submission, you will also need information about authors and their affiliations. Submissions will be non-archival, and thus the presented work can be already published, in preparation for publication elsewhere, or ongoing research. The submission will be selected either for oral presentation or poster presentation sessions.

Choose one of three methods below to apply:

In order to present, at least one of the authors must register for the conference by the presenter registration deadline of May 1st, 2024.
