iConference papers push the boundaries of information scholarship, explore core concepts and ideas, and help identify new technological and conceptual configurations. Back to Tracks Short Research Papers The goal of the Short Research Papers track is to encourage the iConference community to present new, provocative, and cross-cutting themes in a short paper submission. Short research papers might include, but are not limited to, critical literature reviews of an emerging topic, theory building that is in the early stages of development, or new analysis / methods applied to existing data. Short papers are more focused and succinct contributions to the research program and are likely to have a smaller scope of contribution than Full Research Papers . For example, short papers on applications design may not cover the entire iterative design cycle (observation, design, implementation, evaluation, etc.) but may instead go into depth in specific areas. Navigation Info Guidelines First Submission Final Submission Presenting On-Site Timeline Chairs PDF Version Review Process All research papers submitted to the iConference undergo a rigorous double-blind review process. Each paper is reviewed by at least two reviewers independently. The selection of papers is carefully made by the three track chairs based on the reviewers' evaluations.

iConference papers push the boundaries of information scholarship, explore core concepts and ideas, and help identify new technological and conceptual configurations. Back to Tracks Spanish-Portuguese Research Papers This special track is an excellent opportunity for scientists, scholars and professionals throughout the Iberosphere to present their latest research results, and to exchange views or experience in the information field: Library and Information Science, Data Science and related areas. We understand the Iberosphere in the broadest sense: countries where Portuguese or Spanish are official languages, irrespective of the continent. Also, participants from all over the world, knowledgeable in Portuguese or Spanish language, are welcome to submit. Submissions to this track may be either in Spanish or in Portuguese language. Also, an English version of the title and abstract of the paper is required. Navigation Spanish Portuguese English Chairs Publication Accepted papers will be published in Information Research (IR), an established international peer-reviewed open access journal indexed in Scopus , Web of Science Core Collection , and DBLP . Español Esta sección especial es una excelente oportunidad para que científicos, académicos y profesionales de toda la Iberosfera presenten sus últimos resultados de investigación e intercambien opiniones y experiencias en el campo de la información: Biblioteconomía y Documentación, Ciencia de Datos y áreas afines. Entendemos la Iberosfera en el sentido más amplio: países donde el portugués o el español son lenguas oficiales, independientemente del continente. Asimismo, se invita a participantes de todo el mundo con conocimientos de portugués o español a participar. Las presentaciones para esta sección pueden presentarse en español o portugués. Además, se requiere una versión en inglés del título y el resumen del artículo. Short Reseach Papers (Comunicaciones breves) El objetivo de los Short Research Papers en este track es presentar temas innovadores y transversales en forma de presentación breve. Los trabajos de investigación breves pueden incluir, entre otros, revisiones críticas de la literatura sobre un tema emergente, la construcción de una teoría que está en las primeras etapas de desarrollo, o nuevos análisis o métodos aplicados a los datos existentes. Los artículos breves son contribuciones más centradas y sucintas al programa de investigación, y es probable que su alcance sea menor que el de los artículos de investigación completos. Por ejemplo, los artículos breves sobre el diseño de aplicaciones pueden no cubrir todo el ciclo de diseño (observación, diseño, implementación, evaluación, etc.), sino que pueden profundizar en ciertas áreas específicas. Full Research Papers (Comunicaciones completas) Los artículos de investigación completos deben presentar resultados nuevos y originales de investigaciones empíricas y experimentos, o de desarrollo de teorías y modelos. Los trabajos completos deben abrir nuevos caminos y proporcionar un apoyo sustancial a sus resultados y conclusiones. También se fomentan los trabajos que presenten un nuevo diseño de sistemas o implicaciones para el diseño. Proceso de Revisión Todos los trabajos de investigación enviados a la iConferencia se someten a un riguroso proceso de revisión doble ciego. Cada trabajo es revisado por al menos dos revisores de forma independiente. La selección de los trabajos es realizada cuidadosamente por los tres coordinadores de cada área temática, basándose en las evaluaciones de los revisores. La confidencialidad de los trabajos enviados se mantiene durante todo el proceso de revisión. Los trabajos se evalúan en función de su innovación, contribución y calidad de razonamiento y redacción. Los trabajos enviados deben ser trabajos originales e inéditos. Publicación Los artículos en español/portugués aceptados se publicarán en open acces en Information Research .

Português Esta seção especial é uma excelente oportunidade para cientistas, acadêmicos e profissionais de toda a Iberosfera apresentarem seus resultados de pesquisa mais recentes e trocarem opiniões ou experiências na área da informação: Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação, Ciência de Dados e áreas afins. Entendemos a Iberosfera em seu sentido mais amplo: países onde o português ou o espanhol são línguas oficiais, independentemente do continente. Além disso, participantes de todo o mundo, com conhecimento da língua portuguesa ou espanhola, são bem-vindos. As submissões para esta seção podem ser em espanhol ou português. Além disso, é necessária uma versão em inglês do título e resumo do artigo. Trabalhos de Pesquisas Iniciais O objetivo dos Short Research Papers nesta seção especial é apresentar temas novos, provocativos e transversais. Trabalhos oriundos de pesquisas iniciais podem incluir, mas não estão limitados a, revisões críticas da literatura de um tópico emergente, construção de teoria em estágios iniciais de desenvolvimento ou novas análises/métodos aplicados a dados existentes. Os Short Research Papers são contribuições mais focadas e sucintas e provavelmente possuem um escopo de contribuição menor do que os trabalhos oriundos de pesquisa finalizadas. Por exemplo, pesquisas sobre design de aplicativos podem não cobrir todo o ciclo de design iterativo (observação, design, implementação, avaliação etc.), mas podem se aprofundar em áreas específicas. Trabalhos de Pesquisas Finalizadas Os Full Research Papers devem apresentar resultados de pesquisas novos e originais de investigações e experimentos empíricos, ou de teoria e desenvolvimento de modelos. Os Full Research Papers devem abrir novos caminhos e proporcionar suporte substancial relacionados aos resultados e conclusões. Trabalhos que apresentem um novo design de sistema ou implicações para o design também são incentivados.

We understand the Iberosphere in the broadest sense: countries where Portuguese or Spanish are official languages, irrespective of the continent. Also, participants from all over the world, knowledgeable in Portuguese or Spanish language, are welcome to submit. Submissions to this track may be either in Spanish or in Portuguese language. Also, an English version of the title and abstract of the paper is required. Short Spanish-Portuguese Research Papers The goal of the Short Research Papers in this track is to present new, provocative, and cross-cutting themes in a short paper submission. Short research papers might include, but are not limited to, critical literature reviews of an emerging topic, theory building that is in the early stages of development, or new analysis / methods applied to existing data. Short papers are more focused and succinct contributions to the research program and are likely to have a smaller scope of contribution than Full Research Papers. For example, short papers on applications design may not cover the entire iterative design cycle (observation, design, implementation, evaluation, etc.) but may instead go into depth in specific areas. Full Spanish-Portuguese Research Papers Full Research Papers should present new and original research results from empirical investigations and experiments, or from theory and model development. Full Papers must break new ground and provide substantial support for its results and conclusions. Papers presenting a new system design or implications for design are also encouraged. Review Process All research papers submitted to the iConference undergo a rigorous double-blind review process. Each paper is reviewed by at least two reviewers independently. The selection of papers is carefully made by the three track chairs based on the reviewers' evaluations. The confidentiality of the submitted papers is maintained during the entire review process. The papers are evaluated based on innovation, contribution, and quality of reasoning and writing. Submitted papers must be original works and must not have been published elsewhere. Publication Accepted Spanish/Portuguese Papers will be published Open Access in Information Research . Guidelines Conditions: At least one author of each accepted submission must register during the Early Bird registration period to present their work at iConference 2026.
