XR SALENTO 2024 accepts two types of paper: full papers (10-20 pages), and short papers (6-9 pages).

Full papers should mainly focus on research, applications or systems describing results that contribute to advances in the state-of-the-art, software, hardware, algorithms, applications, and human factors.

Short papers should mainly focus on work-in-progress, achievements of initial research, projects in early stages of development, case studies, etc. Accepted short papers will be published in the conference proceedings and presented at the conference as poster.

Full Papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee and acceptance will be based on quality, originality, and relevance. When the first review process has been completed, authors receive a notification of either acceptance or rejection of the submission.
Authors of accepted full papers must submit the final paper version according to the deadline.

Authors should consult Springer’s guidelines and technical instructions for the preparation of proceedings papers. For your convenience, the Authors Guidelines are available here.
