Author Responsibilities
- The ACM has an authorship policy that defines who can be considered an author on a submission and the use of generative AI tools. Every person named as the author of a paper must have contributed substantially to the work described in the paper and/or to the writing of the paper and must take responsibility for the entire content of the paper.
- W4A proceedings are continuously published at the ACM Digital Library. W4A is the top Web Accessibility focused conference. This is because we are very rigorous in review and only accept high-quality technical work. We encourage innovative and novel new work, and expect that work published with the W4A will be some of the first works you disseminate. In addition, we would like to accept high-quality evolutive work or work with a substantial incremental addition of novelty.
- W4A follows the ACM Policy on Plagiarism, Misrepresentation, and Falsification. This policy applies to all publications at W4A proceedings.
- Your work does not have to be ‘end-to-end’, such as the kind you may find in the Web Conference, or as a Journal Publication, but it must be a quality piece of science which contributes to the field.
- The following aspects of the submissions policy may help you prepare:
- Papers will not be blinded – In this way, we encourage a degree of self-policing: submissions are not blinded; therefore, submitting immature work to be read by a programme committee populated by the field’s top researchers will tarnish your reputation.
- Very high technical quality, or thought-provoking work in the case of a communication, are the only selection criteria; however, we strive for a 30% or less acceptance rate in the technical track.
