Paper Submission Instructions
For Task Participants
This page is for participants in NTCIR-11 tasks.
Anyone who did not participate in the NTCIR-11 tasks but is working on
information access evaluation methods is invited to submit a paper to EVIA 2014, a satellite workshop of NTCIR-11.
We invite submissions to EVIA 2014 from NTCIR-11 Task Prticipants, too!
Every NTCIR-11 task participant is expected to present a poster at the NTCIR-11 conference.
In addition to the poster presentation, a few participants will be selected for each task to give an oral presentation of their work at the NTCIR-11 Conference. The selected participants will be contacted by the task organisers by early November.
---See the instructions below.
Every team that participated in one or more the NTCIR-11 tasks is required to write a paper for each task that it participated in (not for each subtask). For example, if you participated in the IMine task and the RITE-VAL task, you need to write two papers. Your papers will be included in the NTCIR-11 Proceedings, which will be publicly available online. Please follow the guideline on the web below.
If you have any problems or questions about the electronic submission process using the EasyChair system, please feel free to contact the appropriate task organizer. (Visit individual task links.)
For the proceedings of NTCIR-11, you need to submit: (1) Draft paper, (2)
Fixed metadata (title, abstract and authors), (3) Final camera-ready copy,
and (4) Copyright form.
・For (1), (2), (3): Submission must be made through NTCIR-11 submission system. The recommended submission format is 'NTCIR sample'. Please refer here.
・For (4): please send it to NTCIR Office by postal mail or courier.
・ A draft paper is a paper that describes your work just like a normal academic paper. It must be as complete as possible (including references).
・ It is called a "draft" paper because we have a feedback period
by task organizers who will read draft papers and provide some comments
for enhancement or modification or clarification if appropriate.
・ During the feedback period, please try to revise your paper as much as
you can, based on the comments and suggestions from task organizers.
・ You need to finalize the title, author names, and affiliations of your paper by this data, using the submission system.
・ This metadata is fixed as a final form, and will be used for all subsequent
publications (e.g. Proceedings, website, etc.).
・ Please follow the instruction from task organizers who will collect all data from participants.
・If you need to change the metadata after the above date, please contact NTCIR Proceedings Team immediately at ntc-proc
・After revision and enhancement based on those comments,
the final camera-ready copy must be submitted no later than November 01, 2014 in PDF. (Please understand this is really firm deadline!)
