Guidelines for paper submission
Language
All papers submitted to STIL must be written in Portuguese, English, or Spanish.
Length
We accept submissions of long and short papers. Long papers should describe complete work with significant results. Short papers may report work in progress, negative results, opinion papers, or application/demo papers.
Long papers may have up to eight (8) pages of content (including tables and pictures), additional pages of references, and presented orally. Short papers should have up to four (4) pages of content, additional pages of references, and will be presented as posters. Authors should also indicate whether they accept their long paper to be reallocated as a poster should the reviewers recommend.
Format
Paper formatting must follow the SBC guidelines
Reviewing Process
All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field.
The reviewing process will be double-blind and therefore papers should not display any information regarding their
authorship in the header or body of the text.
Self-references that reveal the author’s identity, e.g., “As we previously showed (Silva, 2005) ...”, must be avoided.
Instead, authors should use “Silva previously showed (Silva, 2005) ...”.
Submission Policy
By submitting papers to STIL 2021, authors agree that at least one author will register for the conference
and present the paper in case of acceptance.
Furthermore, it is the conference policy that at least one of the authors of
accepted papers has to register before the deadline for sending the camera-ready paper.
Accepted papers whose author(s) do not register before the camera-ready deadline will
not be included in the online proceedings.
