Paper Submission

Participation in the conference requires the submission of papers, which will be evaluated by reviewers. No abstract will be accepted.

To submit a paper, you need to register on the platform via the Registration page.

XR Salento 2025 accepts two types of papers: Full Papers (12-20 pages), and Short Papers (6-11 pages).

• Full Papers should focus on research, applications, or systems that describe results contributing to advancements in the state-of-the-art. Topics may include, but are not limited to, software, hardware, algorithms, applications, and human factors.
• Short Papers should focus on work-in-progress, early-stage research, initial project findings, case studies, or similar topics. Accepted short papers will be published in the conference proceedings and presented as posters.

Authors should refer to Springer’s guidelines and technical instructions for preparing proceedings papers. For your convenience, the Authors Guidelines are available here.

Springer provides templates for Word and LaTeX users to help structure the paper. LaTeX is the preferred format for papers containing numerous equations.

Springer encourages authors to include their ORCID iD in proceedings papers.

For additional details, authors can consult Springer’s LNCS webpage, which contains nearly all relevant information for both volume editors and contributing authors regarding the LNCS print/electronic publication process.

The corresponding author of each paper, on behalf of all co-authors, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form to transfer the copyright of the paper to the publisher. Once the files have been sent to Springer, no changes to the authorship can be made.
Papers without a signed copyright form will not be included in the proceedings.

For your convenience, the LNCS Consent-to-Publish form can be downloaded here.

Only papers submitted through the online submission system and strictly adhering to the required format will be considered for review and publication.

All submitted papers will undergo single-blind peer review.

Upon acceptance, each paper must be accompanied by at least one regular (early) registration payment to guarantee its inclusion in the proceedings.
