Submission formats

We offer two different submission formats:

1. ICDAR Reproducible Research Companion Papers

ICDAR Reproducible Research Companion Papers must accompany a paper submitted to the main conference and detail the technical aspects of the software developed and openly released. This format is adapted from the ICPR RRPR Workshop and will allow authors who release their methods to explain how to reuse them, provide examples and showcase, what they can achieve. Furthermore, papers should either include a section in the paper, or explanation on the public repository how reported results can be reproduced. Papers accepted in this format will get a special listing on the workshop’s website and a “Verified Reproducible Research” badge should be added to the main conference paper [to be confirmed].

2. Original Software Papers

Original Software Papers introduce a newly released method, tool, service or format. Authors can submit papers to promote and showcase finished or ongoing work that are publicly available, preferably under an open source license. Details about installation, code source availability, documentation and evolution will be expected is this format promoting the dissemination of reusable software.
