Call for Papers: 'Research Policy' Special Issue on Economic Complexity

Guest editors Pierre-Alexandre Balland (Utrecht University & Collective Learning Group, MIT Media Lab), Tom Broekel (Utrecht University), Dario Diodato (CID Harvard), Ricardo Hausmann (CID Harvard), Neave O’Clery (Oxford), and David Rigby (University of California, Los Angeles)

Lead editor Elisa Giuliani (University of Pisa)

Background Economic complexity has emerged as a powerful paradigm to understand key issues in economics, geography, innovation studies, and other social sciences. Owing its popularity, in part, to its cross-disciplinary reach, the concept has shed new light on the variation in standards of living across nations (Hidalgo and Hausmann, 2009), differences in sophistication of technologies (Fleming and Sorenson, 2001), and the heterogeneous distribution of knowledge in space (Balland and Rigby, 2017). This excitement is not limited to academia. A host of policy institutions, ranging from international organizations such as the World Bank, World Economic Forum, European Commission, and OECD to national and local actors, have embedded both the methodology and conceptual framework of complexity into their core toolbox. Hence, as economic complexity moves from the periphery to the core of economic thinking and development policy, this special issue attempts to both reflect on past success and look forward to new research frontiers.

The complexity perspective posits that the knowledge content of a country or a city cannot be found at the intensive margin: knowledge grows not by accumulating more of the same, but by adding new and different elements to existing capabilities. It is this evolutionary, combinatorial process that drives many economic phenomena. While this description of knowledge accumulation is often in direct contrast with leading models of economic growth and development - where technology is typically a homogenous good – the theoretical roots of complexity can be found in both traditional and heterodox economics, from Smith’s division of labor (Hausmann et al, 2011) to information theory (Antonelli, 2011), from Jacob’s externalities (Jacobs, 1969) to urban scaling (Bettencourt et al. 2007, Balland et al., 2018), from agglomeration effects (Glaeser et al. 1992) to network theory (Hidalgo et al., 2007).

Important questions to address include the micro-foundations of economic complexity (how and at what scale is it created? What are its ingredients and where do they reside?), and its relation to traditional concepts such as tacit knowledge, radical innovation, agglomeration, and production networks?

The special issue is organized around four main themes:

  • Micro/theoretical foundations of complexity theory, possibly connecting it to established schools of economic thought or other kinds of literature such as biology or physics
  • New empirical applications of complexity to key issues in economics, geography, and human development
  • Novel approaches to measuring complexity, and studying its evolution over time, organizations and space
  • Implications for policy and firm strategy

Submission process We welcome full manuscripts of up to 8,000 words maximum (excluding references and appendices). Articles should be submitted online via the Research Policy web-portal . Each paper will be reviewed by two or three referees. We aim to complete the review process with a maximum of two drafts (i.e., a single ‘revise and resubmit’) before a final decision is made -- unless special circumstances call for an additional revision round.

Timeline March 1, 2019: extended submission deadline for full manuscript June 1, 2019: decisions and comments sent to authors October 1, 2019: deadline for final draft Feb 1, 2020: expected publication

Second Call for Papers: From COVID-19 to stronger people-centred and equitable health systems - Health policy and systems research from low- and middle-income countries

Health Policy and Planning launched a call for papers in 2020 on the basis of a Commentary in which we proposed a research agenda for Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) linked to COVID-19. The call led to a number of publications, which have ranged from studies on the effect of COVID-19 on the use of health services and on forgone care, to the role of trust in shaping perceptions of vaccination, mainstreaming gender in outbreak research, and inter-organisational coordination for better surveillance. Now, more than two years after the pandemic started, our overarching concern remains whether and how responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have created opportunities for strengthening socially just health systems. And now, as we look to the future, it is even more important to take a step back in order to take stock of what happened during the COVID years in terms of health system governance, transformation and innovation. We encourage submissions by researchers, policymakers, providers, health system managers and programme managers. Papers can focus on regional, national, sub-national and ‘district’-level impact and responses. We are particularly interested in papers that critically review the response to the pandemic at country-level in low- and middle-income countries.

Themes and topics

We are looking forward to receive manuscripts on the themes presented below. For each theme, we suggest research questions or topics.

  • Papers presenting a critical analysis of emergent responses
  • Papers describing and analysing the governance and policy- and decision-making processes underlying the response to COVID-19

Which lessons can be learned from the (spontaneous) response to the pandemic in terms of national-level or local health system-level governance arrangements? What is the link between governance arrangements and responsive pandemic control measures? Were bottom-up responses sustained and taken up in routine planning and management?

  • Papers on lessons learned regarding resilience of (local) health systems

What is the current discourse on resilience among policymakers, health system managers, etc. and how was is shaped by the pandemic? Is there a paradigm shift from ‘crisis management’ and ‘outbreak response’ to ‘resilient health systems’? Did the response to COVID-19 enable a deepening of the resilience of (local) health systems? In which conditions did this happen? Are there lessons being learned regarding resilience that apply to other urgent health challenges, like climate change?

Types of papers

As with the first part of this call, original research articles as well as review papers and critical commentaries are invited. We also explicitly welcome critical country-level analyses, and Innovation and Practice Reports. The latter are short reports presenting narratives, reflections and experiences from the perspective of health providers, managers and decision-makers operating at the national or sub-national level, which focus on innovative approaches to strengthen health systems.

Publication process

Papers will be published as they are accepted and will be grouped into a dedicated and ongoing Research Collection on this topic collated by Section Editors Prof. Bruno Marchal and Prof. Lucy Gilson as well as our Co-Editors-in-Chief, Prof. Sandra Mounier-Jack and Prof. Virginia Wiseman. Papers that receive positive reviews but are not deemed suitable for this collection will still be published within a standard journal issue in Health Policy and Planning All papers will be subject to peer review. We aim to have at least 50% of the papers having a first or last author from a low- and/or middle-income country. Full manuscripts should be submitted to Health Policy and Planning through the submission link on the journal website ( https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/heapol ). During the submission process please note your paper is to be considered as part of this COVID-19 Research Collection. For enquiries please contact [email protected] .

Rehabilitation is included in the universal health coverage (UHC) target of the sustainable development goals as an essential health service; access to rehabilitation is a human right. 1 Rehabilitation services are interventions required when people have limitations in their daily physical, mental and social functioning due to ageing or health conditions, including chronic diseases or disorders, injuries or trauma. 2 The ultimate objective of rehabilitation is to enable the person to achieve their optimal level of functioning in their environment. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a reminder that rehabilitation may also be necessary in the acute, post-acute and long-term phases of infectious diseases. 3 , 4

Current estimates report that 2.4 billion people have health conditions that lead to limitations in functioning severe enough for them to need rehabilitation services. 5 This figure is expected to rise as people live longer, and with a higher number of chronic diseases. 2 Hence the necessity to position rehabilitation as an important global health priority. Such prioritization is relevant given that the need for rehabilitation services is largely unmet. In some low- and middle-income countries, for example, most people do not receive the rehabilitation services they require. 6

The post COVID-19 condition provides the world a glimpse of what it means to live with limitations in functioning and how fundamental functioning is to people’s well-being. Not being able to move around, think clearly or work are common limitations in functioning associated with health conditions that benefit from rehabilitation. This lesson from COVID-19 provides an opportunity for the global health community to recognize that functioning is the third health indicator alongside mortality and morbidity. 7 Governments must also recognize that rehabilitation is the health systems’ strategy that directly contributes to improved functioning, and thus to well-being. Overcoming the tendency of the health sector to primarily focus on prevention and treatment and to exclude rehabilitation and the needs of people with limitations in functioning is timely. The use and application of robust health policy and systems research will deliver the necessary evidence to equip health systems to be responsive to the needs for rehabilitation. 8

Situating rehabilitation as a central tenet of health systems rather than a vertical programme in health or other sectors enables a more holistic appreciation of the integrative nature of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation services can be delivered by specialized personnel in tertiary facilities. However, rehabilitation services should also be integrated at secondary, primary and community level as well as across other health services.

Political commitment is essential to mobilize resources for rehabilitation and to increase the demand for rehabilitation services. Health policy and systems research can generate evidence for informing policy and practice decisions. 9 In this context, such research seeks to understand and improve how societies organize themselves in achieving the collective health goal of optimizing functioning and the role that rehabilitation plays in health systems towards that end. This research also analyses how different actors interact in the policy and implementation processes to contribute to policy outcomes, 10 such as the political prioritization of rehabilitation.

Health policy and systems research can, for example, provide evidence on how countries can reorganize their health systems to deliver rehabilitation services for their populations. Such research lends itself to the emerging questions for rehabilitation in the 21st century and is fit for purpose for gathering evidence to implement the World Health Organization’s Rehabilitation 2030 initiative with its 10 areas of action. 11 This initiative marks a new strategic approach for the global rehabilitation community by emphasizing that efforts to strengthen rehabilitation should be directed towards supporting the health system as a whole and integrating rehabilitation into all levels of health care.

The Bulletin of the World Health Organization will publish a theme issue on advancing rehabilitation through health policy and systems research. We welcome papers that expand our current knowledge by presenting rehabilitation as a relevant strategy in health, including public health, that needs to be scaled up to adequately address population needs. Papers may focus on strategies and service provision models and on options for rehabilitation in health financing as a part of each country’s journey towards UHC. Successful and sustainable health systems models for integrating rehabilitation into primary care, approaches to community mobilization for increasing the demand for rehabilitation or models for increasing service delivery by strengthening the workforce are also of interest. The deadline for submission is 28 February 2022. Manuscripts should be submitted in accordance with the Bulletin’s guidelines for contributors (available at: https://www.who.int/publications/journals/bulletin/contributors/guidelines-for-contributors ) and the cover letter should mention this call for papers.

  • View Abstract Submission Guidelines

Investments in prevention science have led to the development of numerous effective interventions to forestall the onset and progression of chronic disease, reduce the spread of infections, and improve the social and emotional health of individuals and families across the lifespan. While the discovery of what works is a necessary step to improving public health and well-being, research indicates that only a miniscule proportion (<15%) of evidence-based interventions (EBIs), which include, programs, practices, and policies, ever reach those they were intended to help. To realize the potential power of prevention science to improve public health on a meaningful scale, greater attention needs to be paid to the dissemination and implementation of EBIs in service delivery systems and community organizations that can adopt and sustain them over time, as well as the role of practice-based evidence in this endeavor. Dissemination and implementation (D&I) science formally emerged as a unique field of study nearly two decades ago to focus in part on the challenge of achieving complete translation of scientific advances to policy and practice. Although D&I is being and has been applied in prevention science, there remains a need for advancements in D&I theories, models, frameworks, measurement, simulation studies, research designs, and a focus on translatability earlier in intervention development to achieve public health impact of prevention efforts. While many principles and methods are broadly applicable, the contexts that prevention scientists and prevention practitioners work in are broader and often more complex. Thus, a more specific focus on the science of prevention dissemination and implementation is critical.

This year’s conference theme has intersections and complements with the last two conference themes of context (place-based prevention) and addressing racism and health disparities. Since its inception, D&I has emphasized the importance of contextual factors that help or hinder the translation of EBIs and programs to their intended setting (e.g., primary care, schools, community-based organizations) and the implementation strategies that best align with that context. More recently the field has focused on achieving equitable dissemination and implementation , which occurs when the culture, history, values, assets, and needs of the community are integrated into the principles, strategies, frameworks, and approaches of D&I science. Equitable D&I aims to engage diverse implementers, stakeholders, and recipients of prevention science in an effort to overcome capacity and resource deficits in underserved and under-resourced systems serving vulnerable populations. As such, presentations with community partner presenters are highly encouraged. With this conference being held amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic that has underscored and laid bare the tremendous inequities in access to prevention of all kinds, focus on equitable implementation is long overdue and critically needed.

2022 Special Conference Themes

Each year, SPR selects three special themes designed to highlight specific areas of research relevant to prevention science. The SPR Conference Committee encourages basic, applied, and developmental research submissions with clear implications for translation across the three special themes.

Consistent with this year’s conference theme, Realizing the Power of Prevention Through Equitable Dissemination & Implementation Science , the SPR Conference Committee encourages special conference theme submissions related to research that advances: (1) implementation strategies to achieve equitable D&I of EBIs; (2) multi-sector, coordinated efforts to disseminate and implement prevention science; and (3) charting the future of prevention D&I science.

We encourage submissions for all three Special Conference Themes to focus on topics including:

  • stakeholder- and community-driven approaches to equitable implementation
  • strategies for rigorous adaptation and ongoing tailoring of EBIs to ensure effectiveness when applied across diverse populations and settings
  • novel research designs to ensure uptake by those that need prevention the most
  • simulation modeling of complex implementation challenges
  • measurement and evaluation approaches to capture nuanced processes and outcomes accounting for diversity and equity (e.g., the RE-AIM equity extension)
  • economic evaluations of prevention implementation to inform adoption and sustainment, health policy, and funders of prevention science
  • qualitative analysis of community and stakeholder input concerning D&I of EBIs
  • large multisector partnerships to coordinate efforts to disseminate and implement EBIs
  • failures of equitable implementation and the need to de-implement ineffective implementation efforts or interventions that fail to reduce disparities
  • translation of knowledge from global prevention implementation adapted/tailored to US-based contexts and populations and vice versa

Special theme #1 Implementation strategies to achieve equitable implementation of EBIs.

Implementation strategies are the methods or techniques used to enhance the adoption, implementation, sustainment, and scale-up of EBIs. They include delivery strategies and support systems for implementing systems to ensure that adoption leads to sustained delivery with fidelity and positive outcomes. Prevention scientists have traditionally considered the end-user and delivery system only in the development and initial testing of interventions. Implementation science focuses on delivery systems throughout (i.e., development to wide-scale dissemination), seeks to identify the contextual factors that influence the utilization of implementation strategies, and investigates ways to overcome barriers and leverage facilitating factors to adoption and scale-up.

The SPR Conference Committee seeks submissions that advance equitable implementation through the understanding of (a) contextual factors that help or hinder the implementation of prevention science in settings and contexts serving populations with health disparities, (b) the conceptual, empirical, and stakeholder-driven approaches to selecting and modifying implementation strategies to enhance their impact, (c) cultural and contextual adaptations of both EBIs and novel and effective implementation strategies, and (d) trials and evaluations of implementation strategies compared to implementation-as-usual or to other active implementation strategies using observational, randomized trial, factorial, optimization, and hybrid effectiveness-implementation designs, to name a few.

Special Theme # 2: Multi-sector, coordinated efforts to disseminate and implement prevention science

While some prevention implementation challenges occur at the local level, to achieve equitable implementation on a scale that improves population health outcomes, coordinated efforts between multiple sectors (e.g., researchers, government, policymakers, community-based organizations, schools, payors, healthcare and social systems), and across silos such as education, justice, child welfare, etc., must be undertaken. The scope of such efforts can be at the community, city, state, region, national, and global levels. These types of initiatives are critical to achieving widespread dissemination of the best available science and to studying the most effective implementation strategies. Understanding and addressing inherent power dynamics and negotiating ownership/co-ownership between partners in both vertically and horizontally organized structures (grassroots vs. centralized governmental efforts aligning) is critical to the success and sustainment of such efforts.

The SPR Conference Committee invites submissions under this theme that address topics such as: (a) multi-sector partnership formation and maintenance; (b) bridging factors between entities that ensure the success of larger-scale implementation efforts; (c) development and deployment of tools, resources, and the infrastructure needed to directly support prevention implementation (implementation toolkits, virtual learning) and the evaluation of implementation at scale; (d) economic and funding models to foster sustainability of these efforts, and (e) dynamic systems approaches that capture the complex interrelationships within and between systems in the goal of equitable implementation.

Special Theme # 3: Charting the future of prevention D&I science

The overall field of D&I science is advancing at a blistering pace with the proliferation of research, models and methods, and formal expansion into nearly all areas of health and healthcare delivery. Yet, it is still a young scientific field in many ways and remains a part of, but not a wholly integrated aspect, of prevention science. The 30 th Annual Meeting of the Society for Prevention Research is an opportune occasion to boldly chart a path for the advancement of the science that will ultimately achieve equitable implementation of EBIs. The field needs a roadmap, a series of objectives, and a dedicated group of prevention scientists, community partners, and implementers to take on this challenge. This special theme aims to ensure that future prevention D&I science will produce a strong evidence base supporting investment and focus in this area, with an emphasis on achieving equity.

The SPR Conference Committee invites submissions under this theme that address issues such as: (a) identification of gaps in D&I models, frameworks, methods, and theory that once filled would accelerate prevention D&I science; (b) models and objectives for training academic and community partners in prevention D&I science; and (c) ways to enhance and ensure the rigor and reproducibility of prevention D&I science.

Special Theme #3 submissions will be reviewed and scored differently than other submissions as primary data will not be required for submissions to this theme. However, well-reasoned and empirically-driven positions supported by research in the field are expected. (JAL-needs to provide link. See abstract submission guidelines, abstract review criteria.)

General Conference Themes: Advances in Prevention Research

Epidemiology and Etiology: Submissions under this theme are focused on describing the distribution and patterns of injury and disease (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease, substance use disorders, depression, and HIV/AIDS) as well as on identifying risk and protective targets of preventive interventions, especially those with a developmental and/or lifespan approach, or that include neurobiological, genetic, or contextual factors.

Development and Testing of Interventions: Prevention interventions can be tested for efficacy under conditions of high-quality assurance and strong research designs (“proof of concept”) and tested for effectiveness under real-world conditions in settings and systems. Submissions reporting the findings from efficacy or effectiveness trials (including pilot studies with preliminary outcome data) are welcomed, and those that combine the findings of such trials with one of the special conference themes are particularly encouraged.

Research, Policy, and Practice : Decision makers around the world emphasize evidence-based policy reform. New policy initiatives at the state and national levels require evidence to guide further policy change, such as changes in opioid prescribing practice guidelines and new approaches to improving the educational system. This theme encourages submissions that evaluate or estimate the outcomes of planned, new, or existing policies, that look at the impact of efficacious programs in emerging policy contexts, and that demonstrate how empirical research has been used to inform and guide new policies. In addition, research that describes and evaluates the processes by which policies have been formed, developed, and implemented are encouraged. A wide variety of content areas are welcomed, including emergent areas such as marijuana legalization or immigration policy, along with recurring areas of concern such as cancer screening, HIV antiretroviral therapy compliance, education policy, gun safety, obesity prevention, and anti-bullying laws and policies. Submissions focused on international research or comparative research across policy contexts and submissions that combine the findings of such research with one of the special conference themes are particularly encouraged.

Innovative Methods and Statistics: “Cutting edge” studies and methodological analyses that address measurement, statistical, and design challenges to prevention science are invited. That includes studies of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods approaches. Studies that use advanced methods but do not directly study a novel statistical, methodological, or design question should be submitted to one of the other themes.  Presentations should highlight the challenges related to prevention science that these innovative design and statistical methods can address and additional benefits gained by using these techniques.

NIDA International SPR Poster Session

The International Program and the Division of Epidemiology, Services and Prevention Research of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) will host the annual NIDA International SPR Poster Session held in conjunction with the SPR annual meeting. Posters should highlight research on the prevention of drug use, prevention of drug use in combination with alcohol use, or prevention of HIV/AIDS in the context of drug use or drug and alcohol use. See the separate call for poster abstracts at https://preventionresearch.org/2022-annual-meeting/7885-2/ .

All abstracts must be submitted online at www.preventionresearch.org .

For questions regarding online abstract submissions, the peer review process, or other details, please contact Jennifer Lewis by email at [email protected] or by telephone at 703-934-4850, ext. 3.

The Thirty-Seventh Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2023) is an interdisciplinary conference that brings together researchers in machine learning, neuroscience, statistics, optimization, computer vision, natural language processing, life sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, and other adjacent fields. We invite submissions presenting new and original research on topics including but not limited to the following:

  • Applications (e.g., vision, language, speech and audio)
  • Deep learning (e.g., architectures, generative models, optimization for deep networks)
  • Evaluation (e.g., methodology, meta studies, replicability and validity)
  • General machine learning (supervised, unsupervised, online, active, etc.)
  • Infrastructure (e.g., libraries, improved implementation and scalability, distributed solutions)
  • Machine learning for sciences (e.g. climate, health, life sciences, physics, social sciences)
  • Neuroscience and cognitive science (e.g., neural coding, brain-computer interfaces)
  • Optimization (e.g., convex and non-convex, stochastic, robust)
  • Probabilistic methods (e.g., variational inference, causal inference, Gaussian processes)
  • Reinforcement learning (e.g., decision and control, planning, hierarchical RL, robotics)
  • Social and economic aspects of machine learning (e.g., fairness, interpretability, human-AI interaction, privacy, safety, strategic behavior)
  • Theory (e.g., control theory, learning theory, algorithmic game theory)

Machine learning is a rapidly evolving field, and so we welcome interdisciplinary submissions that do not fit neatly into existing categories.

Authors are asked to confirm that their submissions accord with the NeurIPS code of conduct .

Formatting instructions:  All submissions must be in PDF format. Submissions are limited to nine content pages, including all figures and tables; additional pages containing references are allowed. You must format your submission using the NeurIPS 2023 LaTeX style file which includes a “preprint” option for non-anonymous preprints posted online. The maximum file size for submissions is 50MB. Submissions that violate the NeurIPS style (e.g., by decreasing margins or font sizes) or page limits may be rejected without further review. If your submission is accepted, you will be allowed an additional content page for the camera-ready version. Papers may be rejected without consideration of their merits if they fail to meet the submission requirements, as described in this document. 

Use of Large Language Models (LLMs): We welcome authors to use any tool that is suitable for preparing high-quality papers and research. However, we ask authors to keep in mind two important criteria. First, we expect papers to fully describe their methodology, and any tool that is important to that methodology, including the use of LLMs, should be described also. For example, authors should mention tools (including LLMs) that were used for data processing or filtering, visualization, facilitating or running experiments, and proving theorems. It may also be advisable to describe the use of LLMs in implementing the method (if this corresponds to an important, original, or non-standard component of the approach). Second, authors are responsible for the entire content of the paper, including all text and figures, so while authors are welcome to use any tool they wish for writing the paper, they must ensure that all text is correct and original.

Double-blind reviewing:  All submissions must be anonymized and may not contain any identifying information that may violate the double-blind reviewing policy.  This policy applies to any supplementary or linked material as well, including code.  If you are including links to any external material, it is your responsibility to guarantee anonymous browsing.  Please do not include acknowledgements at submission time. If you need to cite one of your own papers, you should do so with adequate anonymization to preserve double-blind reviewing.  For instance, write “In the previous work of Smith et al. [1]…” rather than “In our previous work [1]...”). If you need to cite one of your own papers that is in submission to NeurIPS and not available as a non-anonymous preprint, then include a copy of the cited anonymized submission in the supplementary material and write “Anonymous et al. [1] concurrently show...”).

OpenReview: We are using OpenReview to manage submissions. The reviews and author responses will not be public initially (but may be made public later, see below). As in previous years, submissions under review will be visible only to their assigned program committee. We will not be soliciting comments from the general public during the reviewing process. Anyone who plans to submit a paper as an author or a co-author will need to create (or update) their OpenReview profile by the full paper submission deadline. Your OpenReview profile can be edited by logging in and clicking on your name in  https://openreview.net/ . This takes you to a URL "https://openreview.net/profile?id=~[Firstname]_[Lastname][n]" where the last part is your profile name, e.g., ~Wei_Zhang1. The OpenReview profiles must be up to date, with all publications by the authors, and their current affiliations. The easiest way to import publications is through DBLP but it is not required, see  FAQ . Submissions without updated OpenReview profiles will be desk rejected. The information entered in the profile is critical for ensuring that conflicts of interest  and reviewer matching are handled properly. Because of the rapid growth of NeurIPS, we request that all authors help with reviewing papers, if asked to do so.  We need everyone’s help in maintaining the high scientific quality of NeurIPS.  

Abstract Submission: There is a mandatory abstract submission deadline on May 11, 2023 01:00 PM PDT, six days before full paper submissions are due. While it will be possible to edit the title and abstract until the full paper submission deadline, submissions with “placeholder” abstracts that are rewritten for the full submission risk being removed without consideration. This includes titles and abstracts that either provide little or no semantic information (e.g., "We provide a new semi-supervised learning method.") or describe a substantively different claimed contribution.  The author list cannot be changed after the abstract deadline. After that, authors may be reordered, but any additions or removals must be justified in writing and approved on a case-by-case basis by the program chairs only in exceptional circumstances. 

Supplementary material:  Authors may submit up to 100MB of supplementary material, such as appendices, proofs, derivations, data, or source code; all supplementary materials must be in PDF or ZIP format. Supplementary material should be material created by the authors that directly supports the submission content. Like submissions, supplementary material must be anonymized. Looking at supplementary material is at the discretion of the reviewers. The deadline for supplementary material is one week after the main paper.

We encourage authors to upload their code and data as part of their supplementary material in order to help reviewers assess the quality of the work. Check the policy as well as code submission guidelines and templates for further details.

Ethics review:  Reviewers and ACs may flag submissions for ethics review . Flagged submissions will be sent to an ethics review committee for comments. Comments from ethics reviewers will be considered by the primary reviewers and AC as part of their deliberation. They will also be visible to authors, who will have an opportunity to respond.  Ethics reviewers do not have the authority to reject papers, but in extreme cases papers may be rejected by the program chairs on ethical grounds, regardless of scientific quality or contribution.   

Paper checklist: In order to improve the rigor and transparency of research submitted to and published at NeurIPS, authors are required to complete a paper checklist . The paper checklist is intended to help authors reflect on a wide variety of issues relating to responsible machine learning research, including reproducibility, transparency, research ethics, and societal impact. The checklist does not count towards the page limit and will be entered in OpenReview.

Preprints:  The existence of non-anonymous preprints (on arXiv or other online repositories, personal websites, social media) will not result in rejection. If you choose to use the NeurIPS style for the preprint version, you must use the “preprint” option rather than the “final” option. Reviewers will be instructed not to actively look for such preprints, but encountering them will not constitute a conflict of interest. Authors may submit anonymized work to NeurIPS that is already available as a preprint (e.g., on arXiv) without citing it. Note that public versions of the submission should not say "Under review at NeurIPS" or similar.

Dual submissions:  Submissions that are substantially similar to papers that the authors have previously published or submitted in parallel to other peer-reviewed venues with proceedings or journals may not be submitted to NeurIPS. Papers previously presented at workshops are permitted, so long as they did not appear in a conference proceedings (e.g., CVPRW proceedings), a journal or a book.  NeurIPS coordinates with other conferences to identify dual submissions.  The NeurIPS policy on dual submissions applies for the entire duration of the reviewing process.  Slicing contributions too thinly is discouraged.  The reviewing process will treat any other submission by an overlapping set of authors as prior work. If publishing one would render the other too incremental, both may be rejected.

Author responses:  Authors will have one week to view and respond to initial reviews. Author responses may not contain any identifying information that may violate the double-blind reviewing policy. Authors may not submit revisions of their paper or supplemental material, but may post their responses as a discussion in OpenReview. This is to reduce the burden on authors to have to revise their paper in a rush during the short rebuttal period.

After the initial response period, authors will be able to respond to any further reviewer/AC questions and comments by posting on the submission’s forum page. The program chairs reserve the right to solicit additional reviews after the initial author response period.  These reviews will become visible to the authors as they are added to OpenReview, and authors will have a chance to respond to them.

After the notification deadline, accepted and opted-in rejected papers will be made public and open for non-anonymous public commenting. Their anonymous reviews, meta-reviews, author responses and reviewer responses will also be made public. Authors of rejected papers will have two weeks after the notification deadline to opt in to make their deanonymized rejected papers public in OpenReview.  These papers are not counted as NeurIPS publications and will be shown as rejected in OpenReview.

Publication of accepted submissions:  Reviews, meta-reviews, and any discussion with the authors will be made public for accepted papers (but reviewer, area chair, and senior area chair identities will remain anonymous). Camera-ready papers will be due in advance of the conference. All camera-ready papers must include a funding disclosure . We strongly encourage accompanying code and data to be submitted with accepted papers when appropriate, as per the code submission policy . Authors will be allowed to make minor changes for a short period of time after the conference.

Contemporaneous Work: For the purpose of the reviewing process, papers that appeared online within two months of a submission will generally be considered "contemporaneous" in the sense that the submission will not be rejected on the basis of the comparison to contemporaneous work. Authors are still expected to cite and discuss contemporaneous work and perform empirical comparisons to the degree feasible. Any paper that influenced the submission is considered prior work and must be cited and discussed as such. Submissions that are very similar to contemporaneous work will undergo additional scrutiny to prevent cases of plagiarism and missing credit to prior work.

Plagiarism is prohibited by the NeurIPS Code of Conduct .

Other Tracks: Similarly to earlier years, we will host multiple tracks, such as Datasets and Benchmarks ,  Competitions , tutorials as well as workshops, in addition to the main track for which this call for papers is intended. See the conference homepage for updates and calls for participation in these tracks. 

Experiments: As in past years, the program chairs will be measuring the quality and effectiveness of the review process via randomized controlled experiments. All experiments are independently reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Financial Aid : Each paper may designate up to one (1) NeurIPS.cc account email address of a corresponding student author who confirms that they would need the support to attend the conference, and agrees to volunteer if they get selected. To be considered for Financial the student will also need to fill out the Financial Aid application when it becomes available.

Where we work, learn, play, eat and live has important implications for health. The built environment has been associated with the development of chronic disease, and with health behaviours often seen as critical pathways for this relationship. Footnote 1 Footnote 2 Built environments refer to components of the physical environment that are human-made or human-modified and include structures and buildings, recreation facilities, green spaces and parks, transportation systems and community design.

Natural experiments are interventions that occur without a researcher’s ability to manipulate the intervention or exposure to the intervention. Footnote 3 Footnote 4 Natural experiments offer the opportunity to evaluate the effects of “naturally occurring” interventions such as changes to the built environment (e.g. creation of a new bike path, park improvements, infrastructure changes to schools or workplaces, construction of a new recreation facility or grocery store) on health behaviours and chronic disease risk. Natural experiments are often more practical for investigating the health impacts of environmental interventions when compared to traditional experimental studies (e.g. randomized controlled trials). Compared to cross-sectional studies, natural experiments provide a means to generate rigorous evidence to better establish causality, as well as to understand the implementation of interventions in “real-world” scenarios.

This special issue answers the 2017 Canadian Public Health Officer annual report’s call to further evaluate the health impacts of community design features in Canada. Footnote 5 This special issue resonates with the expanding scholarly and policy-oriented interest in the utility of natural experiments as a critical tool in advancing the body of evidence and for informing interventions to improve public and population health. Footnote 6 Footnote 7 Specifically, the objective of this special issue on natural experiments is to provide timely evidence to further understand the effectiveness of built environment interventions on health behaviours and chronic disease prevention in a Canadian context.

Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada: Research, Policy and Practice is seeking relevant topical research articles that present new findings or synthesize/review existing evidence on natural experiments of the built environment (or related policies) that influence health behaviours with implications for chronic disease prevention in Canada.

Relevant topic areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Built environments, including community or neighbourhoods, workplaces, schools, transportation infrastructure, home environments, recreation environments, parks, playgrounds, green spaces, public open spaces, natural environments and seniors’ residences.
  • All health-related behaviours, including physical activity, sedentary behaviour, sleep, food consumption, smoking and substance use.
  • Chronic diseases and health-related outcomes, including body mass index, fitness, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar, injuries, falls, mental health, stress, depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and lung disease.

International submissions will be considered if they include Canadian data, results (e.g. as part of multi-country studies or global comparisons) and/or evidence-based discussion of implications for community or population health in Canada.

Consult the Journal’s website for information on article types and detailed  submission guidelines for authors . Kindly refer to this call for papers in your cover letter.

All manuscripts should be submitted using the Journal’s  ScholarOne Manuscripts  online system. Pre-submission inquiries and questions about suitability or scope can be directed to  [email protected] .

Submission deadline: November 30, 2024

Can your research support sustainable digital transformation?

Can your research support sustainable digital transformation? featured image

If you think it can, submit a paper to Kaleidoscope.

The digital tech industry needs faster innovation to make itself sustainable and drive similar gains in other sectors.

Digital innovation for sustainability will be in focus at this year’s academic conference from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

ITU Kaleidoscope 2024: Innovation and digital transformation for a sustainable world will happen from 21 to 23 October in New Delhi, India.

This 15 th edition will run alongside the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly , the governing conference for ITU standardization work taking place from 15 to 24 October.

Kaleidoscope conferences – alongside the ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies and ITU Academia membership – support growing collaboration between academia and industry in research and development, as well as in bringing the latest innovations to market.

This year’s conference will also feature a special session on involving more young people in standards development and how ITU can support the next generation of consensus builders.

Researchers are encouraged to consult the  Call for Papers . The deadline for submissions is 29 April.

Influence future standards

ITU Kaleidoscope  is a peer-reviewed academic conference.

Each annual edition highlights emerging research trends and their implications for international standardization.

The conference welcomes submissions from both technical and social sciences.

This year submissions will be in four tracks:

  • Technology and next-generation network architectures
  • Applications and services for sustainable development
  • Enabling technologies
  • Social, economic, environmental, and policy aspects of sustainable development

Publication and recognition

All papers accepted and presented at the conference will be published in the  Kaleidoscope Proceedings .

Outstanding papers may also be published in international journals, including the  ITU Journal on Future and Evolving Technologies .

Authors of the three best papers will receive special recognition and will share in a prize fund of 6,000 Swiss francs (CHF).

Authors up to 30 years of age who present accepted papers at the conference will receive a Young Author Recognition Certificate.

More opportunities for research communities

The ITU Journal  – free of charge to both readers and contributors – offers comprehensive coverage of fast-evolving communications and networking systems and technologies.

The online journal welcomes research submissions all year long on all topics relevant to the work of ITU. Along with research articles, the online  ITU Journal  includes  recorded webinar discussions  with researchers and industry leaders.

ITU Academia members participate in  ITU expert groups  responsible for radiocommunication, standardization, and development.

Contributions from academia strengthen ITU’s work and increase the impact of research.

ITU international standards, for example, support the global adoption of solutions developed collaboratively by academia and industry and boost return on investment for both.

ITU Kaleidoscope 2024, hosted by India’s Ministry of Communications, is organized in partnership with  Waseda University , the  Institute of Image Electronics Engineers of Japan , the  Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers of Japan , the  Chair of Communication and Distributed Systems at RWTH Aachen University , the  European Academy for Standardization , the  University of the Basque Country ,  Liverpool John Mores University , and the  Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology .

Call for Papers: Aleksanteri Conference 2024

 resisting authoritarianism in eurasia civil society and new solidarities | 23–25 october 2024.

All of these spheres –  political contestation, social movements, political legitimacy, repression, and cultural resistance – reflect the formation and transformation of solidarities in the turbulent times, disruption of previously existing identities in the context of ongoing war in Ukraine and emergence of new ones.

The upcoming conference aims to explore political transformations in Eurasia from the perspective of various actors and institutions, with a particular emphasis on civil society organizations and political resistance. The conference will focus both on developments within authoritarian states and on how democracies have confronted the challenges posed by authoritarianism, including by resorting to armed resistance.

By addressing issues related to authoritarian resilience and spillover in the present and past, as well as themes such as legitimacy, civil resistance in times of war, and oppression, the conference seeks to shed light on the reshaping of political alliances and solidarities in the new era. It also aims to examine the cultural and historical origins of dictatorial as well as pluralistic regimes. Furthermore, the conference aims to explore how cultural, economic, and political attitudes have changed in times of profound crisis.
