TYPE OF SUBMISSIONS:   

The submissions could belong to any of the following categories, and the authors are required to self-identify the category of their paper during submission.

1. Research Papers (6-8 pages, APC-eligible): Presenting completed original or primary research (see https://libraries.acm.org/acmopen/article-types), describing novel technical solutions, evaluations of existing methods, or empirical studies. Empirical studies can include experiments, case studies, surveys, user studies, or other qualitative or quantitative analysis.

2. Experience Reports (6-8 pages, APC-eligible): Describing retrospective reports on experiences in applying responsible software engineering methods or techniques in practice, or addressing “responsibility” problems in real-world contexts. These papers focus on reporting the experience and give special attention to practical insights, lessons learned, and/or key takeaways and recommendations to the community.

3. Short papers (4-6 pages, APC-eligible). Submissions include the following categories.

• Work-in-progress papers (with/without preliminary results): Papers that describe ongoing research or pilot studies, highlighting early findings and lessons learned.

• Exemplar papers: Papers that describe examples of challenge problems and illustrative solutions that the responsible software engineering community can use to motivate research, exhibit and evaluate solutions and techniques, and compare results.

• Vision papers: Papers that articulate future directions, conceptual frameworks, or community challenges in responsible software engineering.

• Position / Reflection papers: Papers that provide critical analysis or reflective insights on experiences, practices, or methodologies in software engineering.

• Interactive exercise/tutorial: Submissions designed to engage participants actively, teaching methods, tools, or concepts through hands-on or interactive sessions.

4. Extended abstract (1-5 pages, non-APC-eligible) Provides a summary of a work-in-progress, typically just enough for readers to understand the idea, scope, and potential impact.  Full methodology, detailed results, or extensive references are not required.
