Short and Long Papers
We invite papers as peer-reviewed publications highlighting the above topic areas and the software/software techniques that enabled the research! Accepted papers will be given the opportunity to have an oral presentation during the conference (short papers will be lightning talks of 5 minutes and long papers will be 15 minutes). Both types of submissions will be included in the digital proceedings.
Papers should follow the IEEE format. Short papers should have not more than 500 words and long papers should be no-longer than 8 pages in length. We particularly encourage submissions from first-time conference presenters and from members of groups that have historically been underrepresented in the scientific community.

Accepted notebooks will be given the opportunity for a 15 minute oral presentation and included in our digital proceedings. There will be a US-RSE community call in March dedicated to discussing details and answering questions about notebook submissions.
