Full papers (12 -25 pages in length including references) should be formatted as per the Springer-specified guidelines (details below) for review. Please note that the length of a page as per Springer format is different from the length of a page in a double-column IEEE/ACM format.

Following is the link to the submission system: https://www.editorialmanager.com/sncs/default2.aspx
When using the Springer Nature Computer Science submission system, there would be a point during the submission process when one is asked: “Does this manuscript belong to a special issue?” and at that point one needs to click "yes" and then scroll down to the near bottom of the list to select the special issue titled "Metrics for Measuring Success of Research, Education, and CyberInfrastructure Projects."
PLEASE NOTE: The submission system for the journal paper review is different from the submission system for the abstracts/proposals for presentations, panels, and BoFs. Please send an email to Amit Majumdar (majumdar@sdsc.edu) and Ritu Arora (ritu@venratech.com) that includes the paper number that you receive after submission to the SNCS system for follow-ups with the editorial team.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three committee members and/or external reviewers. The submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the relevance to the conference theme, clarity of the content presented, originality of the work, and the impact of the work on the community.
