Double blind review policy
To promote fair and objective assessment of each paper, the reviews will be double blind.
Authors should omit their names in the submission, i.e.
- omit authors’ names from title page (or list as “name(s) omitted for submission”),
and avoid revealing their identity through citation, for example,
- refer to prior related work in the third person: “we extend Smith’s (2007) earlier work” rather than “we extend our earlier work,” and
- exclude citations to author’s own work that are not fundamental to understanding the paper (these can be added in the camera-ready copy).
In the online submission system, reviewers will not be able to see the identity of the authors of each paper. Authors will be asked to identify all conflicts of interest that exist between any of the authors and any of the committee members (or other reviewers).
Formatting guidelines and templates
All submissions to ISMIR 2008 must be in PDF format and conform to the guidelines in the following templates:
- LaTeX and Word templates (zip format)
LaTeX is strongly recommended for aesthetics, and for the final camera-ready copy. Here are some general instructions for producing reliable PDFs (from ISMIR2005). Note that we will be using US letter paper size for the 2008 proceedings rather than the A4 size specified in the 2005 instructions, so please substitute “letter” for “a4″ in these instructions prior to making your submissions.
