Three types of submissions are invited:
- Research papers, describing original research; these can be either long (6-8 pages, not including references) or short (3-4 pages, not including references);
- Project notes, describing recent, ongoing or planned projects (2-4 pages including references);
- Demonstration notes, accompanying demonstration of software, tools, or systems (2-4 pages including references).
Oral papers and posters should be in English and follow the style sheet adopted for the LREC Proceedings. To submit contributions, please follow the instructions at the workshop management system submission website. The contributions will undergo a double-blind review by members of the programme committee. All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, which will be assigned a specific ISBN.
Describing the Linguistic Resources that have been used for the work described in the paper, or are a new result of your research, in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about “Sharing your LRs!” (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository. As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2018 endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be offered at submission time.
