Submission Guidelines

OpenScienSE 2022 invites all those interested in open science in the context of Software Engineering research to submit either your vision papers, experience reports or emerging results written in English (preferable) or in Portuguese.


Vision papers should present new ideas with potential to stimulate a discussion and create oportunities of colaboration in the workshop topics. Experience reports should describe details on the use of recognized open science practices, showing details that allow their adoption by other researchers and some reflection on their benefits and the faced difficulties. Emerging results papers should describe ongoing resseach with preliminary results and a brief discussion.


The papers can be written in Portuguese or (preferably) in English. The papers submitted should not been published or submitted simultaneously anywhere else (either workshop, conference, or journal). All submission must be in the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) Format and should be in accordance with the Brasilian Computer Science Society (SBC) template. Vision papers should have up to 6 pages and the other types of papers must have up to 10 pages including figures and references.


The papers must be submitted electronically through the JEMS system. All submissions that doesn't follow the SBC template or that lie out of the scope of the workshop are going to be rejected without revision. Questions about paper preparation and submission can send to the workshop chairs.


The OpenScienSE will follow a single-blind revision process, where it won't be needed to hide paper autorship. All articles are going to be reviewd by at least three members of the programa comittee. After the revision phase, there will be an additional consensus phase to solve divergences on the evaluation. All papers accepted will be selected on the grounds of the reviewer analyses and recommendations.


At least one author of each accepted paper must register to participate in CBSoft 2022 and present the paper in the workshop OpenScienSE 2022. Otherwise, the paper won't be included in the proceedings. The workshop proceedings will be published online at the SOL/SBC repository. Workshops are meeting point for community members the same inteterests. Therefore, we expect for attendees to engage on the activities that will take place during the workshop.
