Submitted papers should describe original work, present significant results, and provide rigorous, principled, and repeatable evaluation.
  • Abstract submissions are required.
  • Change of authors after acceptance is not allowed. 
  • We strongly encourage and appreciate links to datasets and other materials used for evaluation as well as to demos and software source code.
  • ESWC will not accept work that is under review or has already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal, another conference, or another ESWC track.
  • The proceedings of this conference will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The preprints of the accepted papers will be available openly.
  • Abstracts need to be pre-submitted followed by a timely submission of the full work.
  • Papers must not exceed 15 pages (with unlimited references) and in English.
  • Submissions must be either in PDF or in HTML, formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For details on the LNCS style, see Springer’s Author Instructions. For HTML submission guidance, see the HTML submission guide.

  • The Resource and In-Use Track follow a single blind reviewing process.
  • Authors will have the opportunity to submit a rebuttal to the reviews to clarify questions posed by program committee members.

Open and Transparent Review Policy

The ESWC 2022 review process will follow a flexible policy. We encourage an open and transparent review process, while at the same time we acknowledge the wishes of members of our community to remain private.

The basic principles for the three main tracks are:

  • PC and SPC members will be asked to allow for their reviews, review updates and meta-reviews to be publicly posted on the ESWC 2022 website for accepted papers. They may opt-out of public posting of their reviews. 
  • PC and SPC members will remain anonymous. 
  • After notification, authors of accepted papers can opt-in to allowing the reviews of their submission published. 
  • We will publish statistics about transparent reviewing.
