EG STARs 2022
Call for contributions
State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic of current interest related to Computer Graphics. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS, and particularly encourage STARs on topics that have not been covered in any recent edition. STAR reports on cross-sectional, multi-disciplinary areas are also highly welcomed. A STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in a different scientific discipline or in industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, please refer to the EUROGRAPHICS digital library. A list of recent STARs can be found <https://sites.google.com/site/drminchen/cgf-info/cgf-stars> here.
Accepted STARs will be published in a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before the EUROGRAPHICS conference. The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised submissions. Submissions needing a major revision will be transferred to the standard submission track of Computer Graphics Forum.
At EUROGRAPHICS 2022, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow the presentation.
We do not impose strict maximum lengths for these submissions. However, it is recommended that papers be up to 20 pages excluding references and the authors’ short bios, to conform to the general recommendation for CGF survey papers.
Electronic submissions of STARs are mandatory and will be conducted using the Submission and Review Management System. Papers must be written in English and prepared according to this year's template, which can be found at the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2022STARs> Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system. STARs must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum guidelines. The publication guidelines and LaTeX templates are available on SRMv2. For any question, please contact us at <mailto:tchairs-eg2022stars@eg.org> chairs-eg2022stars(a)eg.org

Submission dates
A preliminary abstract is due by 23:59 UTC, September 26, 2021, and the
full paper deadline is 23:59 UTC, October 3, 2021. Note that a full
paper can only be submitted if an abstract has been submitted by the
abstract deadline.
Submission details
Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory and will be conducted
using the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system. Papers must
be written in English, must be anonymized, and must be formatted
according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum guidelines. The
publication guidelines and LaTeX templates are available on SRMv2.
Accepted papers must be presented orally in English at Eurographics
2022. Review of full papers is based on a double-blind reviewing
approach, so please be sure to remove all personal data (such as
authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. References to your
own work should be made in the third person to maintain anonymity.
Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for
evaluation.
There is no maximum length imposed on papers. However, papers should
only be as long as they need to be, but not longer. Reviewers might rank
submissions perceived as being either repetitive or unnecessarily long
lower than they would score concisely written papers.
Authors of accepted papers will present a very short summary or a teaser
during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25
seconds and can be augmented by slides. To ensure a smooth organization,
they will be asked to prepare a short video of the slides for this
purpose, in two versions: one with the spoken text and one without.
Details will be sent to accepted paper authors.
Plagiarism
A submission to the Eurographics Full Papers program should describe the
original work of the authors. Authors must not use ideas or content
originating from others without properly crediting their original
sources. Note that such sources are not limited to peer-reviewed
publications but also include patents, textbooks, technical reports,
theses, unpublished work posted on arXiv, and other posts on the World
Wide Web. Failure to comply with this requirement will be considered
plagiarism and result in rejection.
Prior Art
Authors are expected to cite, discuss differences and novelty, and
compare results, if applicable, with respect to relevant existing
publications, provided they have been published in a peer-reviewed
venue. This also applies to patents, which also undergo a professional
reviewing process. But what about technical reports, and other
non-peer-reviewed publications, such as technical reports or papers
posted on arXiv, which we henceforth refer to as pre-publications? With
the rapid progress of search engines and the increased perusal of arXiv
papers by the scientific community, asking authors to thoroughly compare
their work to these pre-publications imposes an unreasonable burden — a
seemingly relevant report that is incomplete in its disclosure or
validation might appear online shortly before the deadline. Although
peer-reviewed publications are certainly not immune to these
shortcomings, they have, at least, been judged sufficiently complete and
valid by a group of peers. Consequently, authors are not required to
discuss and compare their work with recent prepublications (arXiv,
technical reports, theses, etc.), although they must properly cite those
that inspired them (see “Plagiarism” above). Nevertheless, we encourage
authors to mention all related works they are aware of as good academic
practice dictates. Note that with new works posted on arXiv on a daily
basis, it is increasingly likely that reviewers might point out
similarities between the submitted work and online reports that have
been missed by the authors. In this case, authors of conditionally
accepted papers should be prepared to cite these pre-publications in
their final revision as concurrent work, without the burden of having to
detail how their work compares to or differs from these
pre-publications. When authors cite previous work that they have
authored, the citation should be in the third person to preserve
anonymity. There are, however, situations where such prior work should
not be cited. This is the case if these prior works correspond to
prepublications of the submission (arXiv), with largely similar content.
In this case, it must be ensured that no publicity related to the
publication is available on the web.
arXiv policy
As authors, putting a submission on a repository like arXiv is allowed,
either before submission or during the review cycle. There is no penalty
for publishing a submission as a prepublication. However, if there are
largely overlapping prepublications of the same authors that are
available online at the time of submission (arXiv), earlier or largely
similar versions of the submission should not be cited in the submission
because this would identify the authors. This is consistent with the
submission guidelines at SIGGRAPH and CVPR/ECCV/ICCV. If an author is
applying for jobs during the review cycle, it is allowed, as an
exception, to list a submission as ‘under review at Eurographics’ in the
author’s CV.
After submission, the authors should try to preserve the anonymity of
the submission. Authors must not discuss the submitted research with
social or regular media that includes blogs and news articles, as well
as publicize via media segments of universities and/or research
institutes. Please do not advertise the work on social media or list it
on web pages as ‘under review at Eurographics’.
Double Submission Policy
By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Full Papers program,
authors acknowledge that the technical contributions they claim have not
been previously published or accepted for publication in another
peer-reviewed venue and that no manuscript substantially similar in
content is currently under review. Violations constitute grounds for
rejection.
Re-submitted Material
For papers that have previously been reviewed by other venues and have
been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are encouraged to provide a
cover letter to describe the history of the paper (however, this does
not imply reviewer continuity). This cover letter can also answer the
comments made in the previous reviews, by either listing the changes
that were made to comply with them or discussing/rebutting/clarifying
some elements if need be. Though not mandatory, this procedure is
strongly encouraged. The cover letter has to be submitted through SRM as
an ‘Additional Attachment’ (see the last section of the SRM upload form
for details).
Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative
Authors who are willing to go one step further toward replicability of
their contributed algorithm and provide a complete open-source
implementation can get additional recognition via submission to the
Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (see
http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/). All articles published in the
Computer Graphics Forum are eligible to apply for the stamp.
Rebuttal, Notification, Publication, and Prizes
• The reviews will be made available to the authors on November 17,
2021. During a rebuttal period from November 17 to November 24, 2021,
authors will be able to submit a brief document to address any factual
errors or clarify any issues raised by reviews.
• The date for notification of the results of the first round of the
review process is December 9, 2021.
• Revised versions of papers conditionally accepted in the first round
must be submitted by January 17, 2022.
• The final notification of the outcome of the second reviewing round
will be made on February 3, 2022.
• The camera-ready version of accepted papers will be due on February
17, 2022.
• From all accepted and presented papers, an international jury will
select the best papers. The best paper will receive the Günter Enderle
Award, including a cash prize of €1,000, presented at Eurographics 2022.
