Information for Authors

 

Paper Format

Submitted papers (.pdf format) must use the ACM Article Template (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Please remember to add Concepts and Keywords. Please use the template in traditional double-column format to prepare your submissions. For example, word users should use Word Interim Template, and LaTeX users should use sample-sigconf-authordraft template. When using sample-sigconf-authordraft template, for submission and review of manuscript you could use the following documentclass command instead of the example provided in the template: \documentclass[sigconf, screen, review, anonymous]{acmart}

Please ensure that you submit your papers subscribing to this format for full consideration during the review process.

 

 

Anonymization

For tracks that require anonymization, please use the ‘anonymous’ parameter in LaTeX, i.e.:

\documentclass[sigconf, screen, review, anonymous]{acmart}

 ACM Requirements/Policy

  • By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are hereby acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.
  • Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper.  ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors. We are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.

 

 

Policy on authorship and generative AI tools

Generative AI tools and technologies, such as ChatGPT, may not be listed as authors of an ACM published Work. The use of generative AI tools and technologies to create content is permitted but must be fully disclosed in the work. If generative AI language tools generate inappropriate language, plagiarized content, errors, mistakes, incorrect references, or misleading content, and that output is included in scientific works, author(s) will take full responsibility for the same.

 

 

Originality

Papers submitted to ACM Multimedia must be the original work of the authors. The may not be simultaneously under review elsewhere. Publications that have been peer-reviewed and have appeared at other conferences or workshops may not be submitted to ACM Multimedia (see also the arXiv/Archive policy below). Authors should be aware that ACM has a strict policy with regard to plagiarism and self-plagiarism (https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/plagiarism). The authors’ prior work must be cited appropriately.

 

Author list

Please ensure that you submit your papers with the full and final list of authors in the correct order. The author list registered for each submission is not allowed to change in any way after the abstract submission deadline, 04 April, 2025. (Note that this rule regards the identity of authors, e.g., typos are correctable.)

-Update 04 Apr-

Following internal discussions, authors are permitted to modify the author list associated with their submission until the full paper deadline on 11 April 2025. However, such changes should be minimal and are strongly discouraged unless absolutely necessary, in order to maintain consistency and avoid confusion during the review process.

 

Paper title

As per MM Policy, paper titles should remain the same between the camera-ready version and submission.

 

Proofreading

Please proofread your submission carefully. It is essential that the language used in the paper is clear and correct so that it is easily understandable. (Either US English or UK English spelling conventions are acceptable.)

 

ArXiv/Archive Policy

In accordance with ACM guidelines, all SIGMM-sponsored conferences adhere to the following policy regarding arXiv papers: we define a publication as a written piece documenting scientific work that was submitted for review by peers for either acceptance or rejection, and, after review, has been accepted. Documentation of scientific work that is published in a not-for-profit archive without any form of peer-review (departmental Technical Report, arXiv.org, etc.) is not considered a publication. However, this definition of publication does include peer-reviewed workshop papers, even if they do not appear in formal proceedings. Any submission to ACM Multimedia must not have substantial overlap with prior publications or other work currently undergoing peer review anywhere. Note that documents published on website archives are subject to change. Citing such documents is discouraged. Furthermore, ACM Multimedia will review the documents formally submitted and any additional information in a web archive version will not affect the review.

 

Rebuttal Instructions (Regular Papers only)

Follow these steps to submit your rebuttals:

  1. Log into OpenReview and select ACMMM 2025 Conference Authors in Your Active Consoles
  2. Go to the paper for which you would like to post a rebuttal and carefully read reviewer comments
  3. Click on the button Rebuttal to add one rebuttal per review. 
  4. Address reviewer comments in a concise manner, indicating which review you are responding to. The rebuttals should be self-contained and should not contain links to the external materials such as code and videos.
  5. Note that the rebuttal must maintain anonymity.

Authors who can factually demonstrate that they have received a sub-standard review, or that a reviewer has made an entirely false statement, are welcome to send a mediation request to the ACM MM 2025 Author’s Advocate. The Author’s Advocate operates independently from the Technical Program Committee.

 

Please also carefully read the call-for-paper of the corresponding track, which mentions more specific requirements for papers (e.g., for the Regular Papers, Demo/Video Papers, BNI Papers, etc. (see all calls in the end of this page)).
