The submission format is the <\/span><b>double column<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ACM conference format. The length depends of the different submission categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Long paper<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: maximum length is 8 pages<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Short paper<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: maximum length is 4 pages<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Blue Sky paper: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">maximum length is 4 pages<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Note:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">References <\/span><\/i><b><i>do not count<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> towards the page limit. Papers can have additional pages beyond their page limits that are used exclusively for references. Up to two supporting files also be submitted. Supporting file can be a PDF for the appendix. Videos or source code can also be submitted, in a ZIP file. Supplementary material is optional during the review process. In other words, review assessments will be primarily done based on the content of the main paper, not the supplementary material.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h5><b>Prior Publications<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Papers submitted at ICMI 2024 must not have been published previously. A paper is considered to have been published previously if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, magazine, book, or meeting proceedings that is reliably and permanently available afterward in print or electronic form to non-attendees, regardless of the language of that publication. A paper substantially similar in content to one submitted to ICMI 2024 should not be simultaneously under consideration in any other venue including for another conference or workshop or journal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ICMI 2024 does not consider a paper on arXiv.org and other open repositories as a dual submission, however, the papers deposited to paid-access repositories (such as ResearchGate, Academia) will not be accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Anonymization and mandatory contents<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reviewing for all tracks will be double blind, so submissions must be anonymous: do not include the authors\u2019 names, affiliations, or any clearly identifiable information in the paper (including in the Acknowledgements and references). It is appropriate to cite past work of the authors if these citations are treated like any other (e.g., \u201cSmith [5] approached this problem by\u2026.\u201d). The authors can omit references only if it would be obviously identifying them. Program chairs will desk-reject non-anonymous papers after reviewing begins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the paper submission deadline, author list and author order will be considered <\/span><b>as final<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After that date, authors cannot be switched, added or removed. Changes to the authorship will be permitted only in exceptional circumstances after validation by program and publication chairs. The final submission will require a valid ORCID id for all authors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authors are encouraged to fill at submission time ACM Categories &amp; Subject Descriptors sections and Author Keywords at submission time. This information is mandatory on the first page of your final version to appear in the proceedings and ACM Digital Library. If your submission is accepted, you will be notified within the acceptance notification of the updated ICMI\u201924 ACM copyright-permission text to include in the camera ready version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT) is permitted, but all authors are responsible for the content created by these tools, and the use of the tools must be disclosed.
