Submission Format and Guidelines
We welcome a diverse range of contributions for WDC 2025, all of which should be original, written in English, and subject to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. Submissions should adhere to the WDC 2025 formatting guidelines to ensure consistency and clarity in presentation. We offer multiple avenues for your valuable contributions:
- Full Research Papers
These comprehensive research papers should provide in-depth insights into the workshop's themes and topics. Authors are encouraged to submit papers of up to 8 pages, including the bibliography. Additionally, authors may include well-marked appendices spanning an additional 2 pages to provide supplementary information for a thorough understanding of the research.
- Short Paper
We understand the value of concise contributions. Short papers, limited to 6 pages, including the bibliography, allow authors to present their research, findings, or ideas concisely and effectively.
- Discussion Paper
For those with focused contributions or ongoing research, we invite submissions in the form of discussion papers. These should be 2-4 pages in length, inclusive of references, and serve as a platform for initiating discussions and seeking valuable feedback from the workshop's attendees.
- Demos
Practical demonstrations can be powerful tools for showcasing innovative solutions and technologies. Demo papers, spanning 2-4 pages, including references, provide authors with the opportunity to present their work visually and interactively during the workshop.
- Vision Papers
We encourage authors to share their visionary perspectives on the workshop's central themes in papers ranging from 1-2 pages, including references. Vision papers offer an avenue to explore future directions and possibilities within the realms of deepfakes, disinformation, deception, and related areas.
- Poster Papers
In an effort to promote interdisciplinary discussions, authors may submit poster papers of 1-2 pages, including references. If you've presented a poster at the main conference that aligns with the workshop's focus, you have the option to submit a poster version to further engage with the workshop audience.
