Submission

SCML papers can be continuously submitted via EasyChair (see the link below) and enter the reviewing process immediately after their submission. Reviewing proceeds according to international conference standards with respect to the originality of the work, its scientific soundness, the validity of the methodology, the significance of the results, the clarity of the presentation, and the relevance to the topics of SCML.

We support the "open science" approach to research with a focus on the reproducibility of the scientific results. Therefore we encourage authors to make the software and data on which their submissions are based publicly available. Accepted papers that satisfy these criteria will be rewarded with the Open Data Inside badge.

A preliminary decision about the acceptance of the paper (with recommendations and requests for revision) is typically made within a month.

The final versions of accepted papers are published in the electronic RISC Proceedings on Symbolic Computation and Machine Learning. They are archived with a DOI and are freely available for download from the SCML web page under a Creative Commons License. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present them at a subsequent SCML workshop.

The SCML workshops take place in semi-regular intervals in purely online form (via Zoom), typically in half a day. They are widely announced; registration is mandatory but free of charge. At such a workshop, the authors of recently accepted papers present their work to the online audience and answer their questions. The presentations are embedded into an attractive framework program (with invited talk, panel discussion, etc).

Authors of accepted SCML papers that present original research may be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a Virtual Special Issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation (JSC). Here they are reviewed and published according to the rules of the JSC. Accepted papers are published in a regular issue of the JSC and are electronically collected in a "virtual special issue" under the label SCML which is available in a corresponding section of the JSC web page.
