Calls | International Joint Conference on Knowledge Graphs (IJCKG)

The 11th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Graphs (IJCKG 2022, in cooperation with ISWC) is a premium academic forum on Knowledge Graphs. The mission of IJCKG 2022 is to bring together international researchers in the Knowledge Graph community and other related areas to present their innovative research results or novel applications of Knowledge Graphs. IJCKG has evolved from the Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST): a joint event for disseminating research results regarding the Semantic Web, Knowledge Graphs, Linked Data and AI on the Web.

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library within its International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). A number of the best papers accepted to IJCKG 2022 will be recommended to one of the following journals:

  • World Wide Web Journal (Science Citation Index Expanded)
  • Big Data Research (Science Citation Index Expanded)
  • Data Science Engineering (EI Compendex)
  • Data Intelligence (EI Compendex)

Submission types

  • Short research papers that summarise research results (i.e., concise versions of full research papers).
    All such papers should be clearly written, technically sound, and include discussion of related works. Authors should clearly indicate in the abstract and the introduction what type of paper they are submitting, for example, adding a phrase "In this vision paper, we ...".

Submission

Submissions to IJCKG 2022 should describe original work on Knowledge Graphs. IJCKG 2022 will not accept submissions that are under review for or have already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or another conference (*).

* Non peer-reviewed documents such as theses, technical reports, publications on preprint servers (e.g., arXiv.org) or workshops papers without formal proceedings are not considered prior publications. In such cases, IJCKG 2022 authors are not precluded from submitting papers on the same topic by the same authors.

Full research papers submitted to IJCKG 2022 are expected to present their claimed research contribution, with clear evidence to support their claims.

All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee of the Research Track. These anonymous reviewers will judge each paper’s relevance to the conference, technical soundness, and the readability of the submission.

IJCKG 2022 submissions are not anonymous.

Submissions must be in PDF format, using the latest ACM Proceedings Format with the default 9pt font (see sample-sigconf.tex or Interim layout.docx from https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Regular paper submissions must be no longer than 8 pages, excluding references. Unlimited additional pages may be used for references. Submissions that exceed this limit or that do not follow the indicated format may be rejected without review.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper there.

Papers can be submitted electronically via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ijckg2022).

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library within its International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Papers for which authors do not register and present may be excluded from the proceedings.
