Based on the topic and nature of your paper you have two different publication options:
- Springer Science, Research and Engineering Proceedings
- Open Access Compendium (OAC) "Assistive Technology, Accessibility and (e)Inclusion"
Please be aware of their topical focus and, due to their publication policies, their different formats, deadlines and target audience. The review process by the Scientific Committee of the conference is the same.
Springer Science, Research and Engineering Proceedings (Springer LNCS)
The conference invites interested participants to publish original science, research and engineering work related to Assistive Technology, eAccessibility and eInclusion in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) proceedings. LNCS aims at scientific excellence and selects papers in technology/engineering in a two steps peer-review process (acceptance rate ~60%). Volumes published in the LNCS series are made available to the following indexing services:
- ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S), included in ISI Web of Science
- EI Engineering Index (Compendex and Inspec databases)
- ACM Digital Library
- DBLP
- Google Scholar
- IO-Port
- MathSciNet
- Scopus
- Zentralblatt MATH
Registration to the conference by at least one author per paper is mandatory!

ICCHP Open Access Compendium (OAC) “Future Perspectives on Accessibility, AT and (e)Inclusion”
The conference invites interested participants to publish their work focusing on social, political, legal, medical, psychological, educational and other interdisciplinary aspects related to ICT/AT/eAccessibility in the digital edition of the Open Access Compendium “Future Perspectives on Accessibility, AT and (e)Inclusion”.
The OAC series invite to publish original basic and applied scientific R&D from diverse fields without restriction to engineering (see LNCS). OAC aims to provide from an interdisciplinary and cross-sector perspective a good overview of advancements into the user-, practice- and service-driven domains of AT, Accessibility and (e)Inclusion (please refer to the list of topics at the end of the Call). Progress and success are based on the interaction with, contribution by and participation of all stakeholder groups (e.g., users, end user organizations, service providers, policy, administration, industry, NGOs). Every voice counts in the exchange on the impact of R&D on practice and in domains in need of creative and innovative R&D and co-operation.
Exchange and co-operation between practice and R&D is a key asset for technical and social innovation. We invite interested authors coming from diverse domains and disciplines to submit extended abstracts of research work, but also more practice-oriented concept papers, models, reports, and position papers on topics related to our field. The compendium will also include contributions from the Forum part of the program (see below). These contributions will support a creative and innovative program facilitating cross-sector and cross-stakeholder interaction and dissemination.
Registration to the conference by at least one author per contribution is mandatory!
