Frequently Asked Questions

What types of papers are solicited?

Position papers, research papers, and case study papers.

What is the page limit?

6–10 pages, not including references, acknowledgments, and CEUR’s Declaration on Generative AI.

What template should I use?

The CEURART single-column template. It’s available as a ZIP download and via Overleaf (use the official CEUR-WS “ceurart” single-column format).

In what format should I submit?

PDF only, using the CEURART single-column template.

Is an abstract required before the paper submission?

No. Abstract submission is optional. You may submit an abstract by July 13, 2026 (AoE), but it is not required to submit a full paper.

What does “AoE” mean?

“Anywhere on Earth”: the deadline applies to the last time zone on Earth (UTC−12).

How do I submit?

Via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=recsys2026workshops

When creating the submission, select the track “BEYOND - A Workshop on the Interdisciplinarity of Recommender Systems.”

What is the review process?

Single-anonymized peer review: author names and affiliations remain in the manuscript; reviewer identities are hidden. Each submission will be reviewed by three Program Committee members.

What are the evaluation criteria?

Quality, novelty, clarity, interdisciplinarity, and relevance for fostering discussion. Where applicable: methodological rigor and ethical considerations.

Are dual submissions allowed?

No. Submissions must be original, in English, and not under review elsewhere (conference, workshop, or journal) at the time of submission.

Will accepted papers be published?

Yes. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings after the event (most likely via CEUR-WS). Camera-ready instructions and CEUR metadata details will be provided upon notification.

What are the authorship and attendance requirements?

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop in person to present and participate in Q&A.

Are remote presentations allowed?

Only in specific cases: if accepted authors face demonstrable visa or travel issues, they may record a video presentation.

Are non-computing and interdisciplinary methods welcome?

Yes. The workshop explicitly welcomes contributions from outside core computing and work that bridges computational and non-computational approaches, including qualitative, ethnographic, interpretive, and mixed-methods studies.

Can I submit failure analyses or negative results?

Yes. Case studies of failures, harms, unintended consequences, and work on risk assessment, robustness, adversarial evaluation, and mitigation strategies are welcome.

What about the use of generative AI in manuscripts?

Follow CEUR-WS guidelines and include CEUR’s Declaration on Generative AI as required. Further details will be provided with camera-ready instructions.

Are supplementary materials allowed?

The CFP does not specify supplementary material. Please prepare your main paper to be self-contained. If supplementary materials become permitted, details will be provided on the submission site.
