2nd CfP: 11th International Conference on Digital Libraries for
Musicology (In Association with IAML 2024), June 27, Stellenbosch
University Konservatorium, Stellenbosch, South Africa
CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS
DLfM welcomes contributions related to any aspect of digital libraries
and musicology, including topics related to musical archiving and
retrieval, cataloguing and classification, musical databases, special
collections, music encodings and representations, computational
musicology, or music information retrieval (MIR).
As this will be the first iteration of DLfM taking place on the African
continent, we strongly encourage proposals from individuals working on
music in Africa within various disciplines and from a range of
perspectives, particularly addressing this year's theme:
Musicology of the Global South: The Role of Digital Libraries
The organizing committee especially encourages submissions of papers and
posters that address this theme, however, we welcome all submissions
addressing all topics that fall under the scope of DLfM. Specific
examples of topics traditionally covered at DLfM can be found at
https://dlfm.web.ox.ac.uk.
DLfM 2024 proceedings of full and short papers will be published in the
ACM Digital Library through ICPS. We are aware of a growing number of
institutional and funder requirements for Open Access publication, and
recognise that authors will need to comply with any policies which apply
to them. Further advice is available from the ACM at
https://www.acm.org/publications/openaccess#h-green-open-access

SUBMISSIONS
Paper submissions
* Paper length: We invite full papers (up to 8 pages excluding
references) or short papers (up to 4 pages excluding references).
* Submissions: work is submitted to DLfM via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dlfm2024).
* Format: Submissions must be in English, formatted according to the
appropriate ACM template (see template below), in PDF format, and A4
size. Authors will need to follow ACM's instructions for formatting
carefully. Assistance will be provided from the proceedings chair.
* Templates: Authors must use either the LaTeX template
(https://portalparts.acm.org/hippo/latex_templates/acmart-primary.zip,
use the 'sigconf', 'authordraft', and 'anonymous' settings for initial
submission), the LaTeX + Overleaf template
(https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/association-for-computing-machinery-acm-sig-proceedings-template/bmvfhcdnxfty,
use the 'sigconf', 'authordraft', and 'anonymous' settings for initial
submission), or the MS Word template
(https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/publications/word_style/interim-template-style/interim-layout.docx).
Historically, LaTeX versions have been easier to process into
camera-ready versions. Therefore, we encourage all authors to use the
LaTeX (or LaTeX + Overleaf) template if possible.
* Page limits for submitted papers apply to all text, excluding the
bibliography (i.e., references can be included on pages over the
specified limits).
Poster submissions
* Submission: The initial poster submission consists of an abstract
which outlines both the scholarly content and broad details of the
proposed layout in 500 words or fewer. This is to be sent by e-mail to
dlfm2024@easychair.org
* Format: Information on printed poster formats will be provided on
acceptance of the poster abstract. All accepted posters will also be
required to submit a digital copy before the conference date to be
shared publicly on the conference web page.
Review and Ethics
Papers (long and short) will be double blind peer reviewed by at least 3
members of the programme committee. For accepted paper submissions, at
least one author must register for the conference (as a presenter) by
the conference registration deadline.
DLfM conforms to the usual conventions for publication ethics. For
instance, we endeavour to provide an effective reviewing process that is
fair to all submissions, with reviews from experts in the subject area.
In turn, we expect authors to ensure anonymity in the original
submission as far as practically possible, (for instance by not
uploading the submission to public website and/or removing any currently
public unpublished preprints while it is under review) and that
submissions to DLfM are not under active consideration by another
conference or journal.
