Author Guidelines

Full papers, project reports and poster abstracts are accepted for publication in the DC-2011 Conference Proceedings. Submissions for review may be submitted using Open Office (.odf), Microsoft Word (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf).

In order to guarantee readability and uniformity of appearance, authors are expected to use the specifications in in the table below in formatting their submissions.  An MS DOC template is available as well as a PDF illustrating the specifications:

Reference to the published proceedings for DC-2010 may be of further assistance with matters of document formatting.

Maximum submission length for each category of submission as well as evaluation criteria are set out in the Call for Papers at http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/dc-2011/schedConf/cfp.

DCMI adheres to a blind peer review process in which reviewer identities are unknown to authors. It does not use a double-blind review process; therefore, author identities are known to reviewers.
