SIGIR 2024: Call for Full Papers

The 47th ACM SIGIR conference will be held in-person from July 14th to 18th, 2024 in Washington D.C., USA. We welcome high-impact original papers related to any aspect of information retrieval and access, including theories, foundations, algorithms, evaluation, analysis, and applications.

Important Dates for Full Papers

• Full paper abstracts due: January 18, 2024
• Full papers due: January 25, 2024
• Full paper notifications: March 25, 2024

All deadlines are midnight, Anywhere on Earth (AoE).

Submission Guidelines

• See this brief checklist to strengthen an IR paper, for authors and reviewers.

• Full research papers must describe original work that has not been previously published, not accepted for publication elsewhere, and not simultaneously submitted or currently under review in another journal or conference.

• Submissions must be in English, in PDF format, and be at most 9 pages (including figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any content except references) in length, with unrestricted space for references, in the current ACM two-column conference format.

• Suitable LaTeX, Word, and Overleaf templates are available from the ACM Website (use “sigconf” proceedings template for LaTeX and the Interim Template for Word). ACM’s CCS concepts and keywords are required for review.

• For LaTeX, the following should be used:

  \documentclass[sigconf,natbib=true,anonymous=true]{acmart}

• Submissions must be anonymous and should be submitted electronically via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigir24

• At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for, and the author(s) or their delegate(s) must present the work at the conference in person.

Anonymity and Pre-Print/ArXiv Policy

The full paper review process is double-blind. Authors are required to take all reasonable steps to preserve the anonymity of their submission. You can submit to SIGIR 2024 papers that you have posted to pre-print/archival platforms (e.g. arXiv), or plan to post in the future, after submission. However, your paper must conform to the SIGIR 2024 Pre-Print/ArXiv Policy. Breaking anonymity or pre-print/ArXiv policy puts the submission at risk of being desk rejected.

Authorship Policy

Authors should carefully go through ACM’s authorship policy before submitting a paper. Please ensure that all authors are clearly identified in EasyChair before the submission deadline. To support the identification of reviewers with conflicts of interest, the full author list must be specified at abstract submission time. No changes to authorship will be permitted for the camera-ready submission under any circumstance or after the abstract submission deadline. So please, make sure you have them listed correctly at submission time.

Desk Rejection Policy

Submissions that violate the anonymity, pre-print policy, length, or formatting requirements, or are determined to violate ACM’s policies on academic dishonesty are subject to desk rejection by the chairs.
