Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcs2019. Please make sure that you select the right track when submitting a paper (W2: RELATIONS). Each paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the Program Committee. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the workshop and will be published in the workshop proceedings in the ACL Anthology.
Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the paper must not include the authors' names and affiliations or self-references that reveal the authors’ identity--e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ..." should be replaced with citations such as "Smith (1991) previously showed ...". Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.
Dual Submission Policy
Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must indicate this at submission time. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at RELATIONS 2019 must notify the program chairs by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper will be presented. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the proceedings. We will not accept for publication or presentation papers that overlap significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.
All submissions should comply with the recent ACL policies on Submission, Review and Citation. The authors are strongly encouraged to check those here before submitting their paper.
