Submissions should report original work and must not have been published previously. All full paper submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international panel of experts.
ANONYMITY OF SUBMISSIONS
The review process will retain the anonymity of authors and reviewers. Papers should not have any indication of who the authors are in the text or the metadata for the file. Please remove names and affiliations from the opening header and remove any indication of your affiliation or location in the text (e.g. names of laboratories where studies were conducted). Avoid obvious identifying statements in the paper. Citations to your own relevant work should not be anonymous, but rather should be done without identifying yourself as the author. For example, say “Prior work by [authors]” instead of “In our prior work.” Make sure that you are also not identified in the metadata of the file. Papers which are non anonymized may not be accepted. After review, authors of borderline papers may submit a rebuttal (the meta-review will clearly state where this is appropriate). INTERACT 2021 will include a shepherding process for papers which are conditionally accepted at the Program Committee meeting prior to the decisions being released.
