Call for Full Papers
We invite original, unpublished research contributions presenting novel findings, methods, or theoretical frameworks on the responsible use of AI in education.
Overview
Full papers should present original, mature, and unpublished research that makes a significant contribution to the field of AI in education and learning sciences. Submissions must not be currently under review elsewhere.
Submission Format
Papers must be written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS style. Authors may use the official Overleaf LNCS template and should use the single-column format for submission. General Springer conference proceedings instructions, including both LaTeX and Word templates, are available in the Springer proceedings guidelines.
Full papers are limited to a minimum of 11 pages and a maximum of 15 pages (references, figures, tables, proofs, appendixes, acknowledgments, and any other content count toward the page limit).
Submissions must be anonymized for double-blind review. Author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, and self-identifying references must be removed from the manuscript.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance, technical quality, methodological soundness, and clarity of presentation.
