4 / Publication policy

Publication Policy

TAAI 2026 has been formally accepted by Springer, and the International Track proceedings will be published as a Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) post-proceedings volume. TAAI 2026 treats Submission Format, Presentation Type, and Publication Status as separate concepts. Whether a paper is scheduled as an Oral Presentation or a Poster Presentation does not by itself determine whether it is published; that depends on the author's Camera-Ready publication decision (Publish / NOT-to-Publish). For the International Track, however, the Presentation Type determines the paper type in the proceedings: Accepted – Oral Presentation is published as a Full Paper (12–15 pages) and Accepted – Poster Presentation is published as a Short Paper (6–11 pages).

International Track: Full Paper and Short Paper

  • An accepted International Track paper is assigned by the Organizing Committee, based on review outcomes and program scheduling, to either an Oral Presentation or a Poster Presentation. If the author chooses Publish, an Oral Presentation paper is published as a Full Paper (12–15 pages) and a Poster Presentation paper is published as a Short Paper (6–11 pages), both including references and appendices; up to 2 additional pages (maximum 17 pages for Full Papers and 13 pages for Short Papers) can be added for NT$1,500 per page (see the Camera-Ready page). Both are peer-reviewed, accepted papers.
  • Whether the paper is submitted to the Springer CCIS post-proceedings depends on the author's choice, made only after acceptance at the Camera-Ready Paper Submission stage, between Publish in the Official Proceedings and Presentation Only (NOT-to-Publish); this publication decision is unrelated to peer review, the acceptance outcome, or the assigned Presentation Type.
  • Authors who choose Publish must prepare the final paper at the length of the assigned paper type (Full Paper or Short Paper), complete Camera-Ready Paper Submission and publication authorization, and meet Springer's final publication requirements, with at least one author registered and presenting on-site as required for every accepted paper, before the paper is submitted to Springer for publication; final inclusion of any individual paper is still subject to publisher review. TAAI 2026 has been formally accepted by Springer for publication as a Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) post-proceedings volume; past TAAI proceedings (e.g., TAAI 2023, 2024) were published in the same series. See TAAI's past proceedings on Springer. The CCIS series is listed in databases such as DBLP, EI Compendex, Scopus, and SCImago; some CCIS content may also be submitted for Web of Science conference proceedings indexing review, with final inclusion decided by Clarivate. See FAQ Q22 for details.
  • Authors who choose Presentation Only (NOT-to-Publish) may still deliver their assigned Oral or Poster Presentation at TAAI 2026, but the paper is not submitted to the Springer CCIS post-proceedings; the registration requirement still applies, so at least one author must complete registration and present on-site; the Organizing Committee may still list the paper's title, authors, affiliations, and abstract in the program, the Program & Abstract Book, or other conference materials.

Domestic Full Paper

  • An accepted Domestic Full Paper may be assigned by the Organizing Committee, based on program scheduling, to either an Oral or a Poster Presentation; the presentation format does not affect its Full Paper status.
  • Whether the paper is formally published depends on the author's choice, made only after acceptance at the Camera-Ready Paper Submission stage, between Publish in the Official Proceedings and Presentation Only (NOT-to-Publish).
  • Authors who choose Publish must complete the camera-ready submission and copyright authorization, with at least one author registered and presenting on-site as required for every accepted paper, after which the paper is included as a full paper in the TAAI 2026 Domestic Conference Proceedings as a formal conference publication record; the proceedings' ISBN, availability, and other bibliographic details will be announced separately by the Organizing Committee.
  • Authors who choose Presentation Only (NOT-to-Publish) may still present at the conference per the acceptance decision, but the full paper is not included in the Domestic Conference Proceedings; the registration requirement still applies, so at least one author must complete registration and present on-site; the Organizing Committee may still list the paper's title, authors, affiliations, and abstract in the program or the Program & Abstract Book.

Domestic Extended Abstract

The Domestic Extended Abstract is intended mainly for work in progress, preliminary results, and academic exchange. Submissions are limited to 2 pages, and accepted abstracts are, in principle, presented as posters.

Extended Abstracts are handled as Non-Archival:

  • The full 2-page submission is used for review purposes only and is not included in the formal full-paper proceedings.
  • After acceptance, the paper title, authors, affiliations, and abstract may be included in the TAAI 2026 Program & Abstract Book.
  • The Program & Abstract Book may be made publicly available as a PDF or web page on the TAAI 2026 or Taiwanese Association for Artificial Intelligence (TAAI) website.
  • Extended Abstracts are not assigned an individual DOI and are not submitted to Springer, EI Compendex, Scopus, or other formal academic indexing services.
  • Extended Abstracts are not considered a formal archival full-paper publication of TAAI 2026.

Authors may later submit substantially extended versions of the work to other conferences or journals; they remain responsible for complying with the prior-publication, duplicate-publication, and content-overlap policies of the venue to which they subsequently submit.

High School Student Session

Submissions to the High School Student Session are intended mainly for showcasing student research and academic exchange. Accepted submissions are presented at the High School Student Session; the final publication content and availability follow the High School Session's own policy. Unless otherwise announced, High School Session submissions are not included in the Springer CCIS post-proceedings.

General principles

Authors should note that:

  • Oral / Poster describes the presentation format, not whether a paper is published. For the International Track it also determines the paper type in the proceedings (Oral: Full Paper; Poster: Short Paper).
  • Full Paper / Extended Abstract describes the submission format, not the presentation format.
  • The Publish / Presentation Only (NOT-to-Publish) decision is confirmed by the author only at the Camera-Ready Paper Submission stage, after acceptance; it is unrelated to peer review, the acceptance outcome, or the assigned Presentation Type, and does not affect a presentation slot already granted.
  • Whether a submission is an archival publication is governed by this Publication Policy and each track's official announcements.
  • Different publishers and academic databases may apply different criteria for prior publication, content overlap, and indexing; authors remain responsible for complying with the requirements of any venue they submit to in the future.
  • On-site presentation is the default. Authors who cannot travel for a justified reason (for example, a visa refusal supported by documentation) may apply in advance for a remote or pre-recorded presentation; this does not change the publication eligibility. See the Registration FAQ.
5 / FAQ

Submission, presentation & publication FAQ

Q1. What submission tracks does TAAI 2026 have?

TAAI 2026 has three submission tracks:

  • International Track
  • Domestic Track
  • High School Session

The Domestic Track offers two submission formats: Full Paper and Extended Abstract.

Q2. What is the difference between "track", "submission format", "presentation type", and "publication status" at TAAI 2026?

TAAI 2026 treats these as separate concepts:

  • Track: International / Domestic / High School
  • Submission Format: Full Paper / Extended Abstract / High School Paper
  • Presentation Type: Oral Presentation / Poster Presentation
  • Publication Status: Archival / Non-Archival
  • Publication Venue: Springer CCIS post-proceedings / TAAI Domestic Proceedings / Program & Abstract Book

An Oral or Poster presentation format alone does not determine whether a paper is formally published.

Q3. Are DOI, ISBN, ISSN, and "archival publication" the same thing?

No, these are different concepts: a DOI is a digital object identifier; an ISBN identifies a book or proceedings volume; an ISSN identifies a serial publication; and "archival publication" refers to whether a paper is formally included in a publication with long-term preservation and formal citation status. The absence of a DOI or ISBN does not by itself mean something is not a formal publication; conversely, having an ISBN does not mean every item within it is necessarily an archival full paper. The publication status of each TAAI 2026 submission type is governed by this Publication Policy.

Q4. What is the single most important principle to remember about presentation and publication at TAAI 2026?

Keep three things distinct: Full Paper / Extended Abstract is the submission format; Oral / Poster is the on-site presentation format; Archival / Non-Archival is the publication status. A Poster does not mean an informal paper, and an Oral presentation does not guarantee formal publication. An International Track paper is eligible for the Springer CCIS post-proceedings whether it is assigned Oral or Poster, as a Full Paper (Oral, 12–15 pages) or a Short Paper (Poster, 6–11 pages); whether it is ultimately formally published is confirmed by the author at the Camera-Ready Paper Submission stage after acceptance, per the Organizing Committee's requirements.

Q5. Does TAAI 2026 ask about Publish vs. NOT-to-Publish at the Initial Paper Submission stage?

No. The Initial Paper Submission stage does not ask authors about their publication preference. The initial submission stage is used only for submission, academic review, review comments, acceptance decisions, and Oral / Poster Presentation assignment. Publish / NOT-to-Publish plays no part in the initial submission or peer-review decision.

Q6. When is the Publish / NOT-to-Publish decision made?

Only at the Camera-Ready Paper Submission stage, after acceptance, is the final confirmation made. Authors of an accepted, eligible Full Paper must choose, per the Organizing Committee's requirements:

  • Publish in the Official Proceedings
  • Presentation Only (NOT-to-Publish)

The choice made at the Camera-Ready stage is the final publication decision.

Q7. Why isn't the publication preference asked at Initial Submission?

Because TAAI 2026 wants to keep academic review separate from publication decisions. Reviewers should evaluate a paper's academic quality without the review or acceptance outcome being influenced by whether the authors intend to formally publish. The Organizing Committee therefore completes peer review and the presentation decision first, and lets accepted authors confirm their final publication choice at the Camera-Ready stage.

Q8. What must be completed if formal publication is chosen at the Camera-Ready stage?

Depending on the track and publisher requirements, this typically includes:

  • uploading the final Camera-Ready PDF and the source files (e.g., Word file, or LaTeX files as a ZIP);
  • confirming the final title;
  • confirming authors, affiliations, and author email addresses;
  • designating one corresponding author (International Track);
  • submitting required metadata;
  • completing registration by at least one author;
  • confirming at least one author will present on-site;
  • completing publication authorization or copyright documents;
  • meeting the format requirements of the Organizing Committee and the publisher.

An International Track paper must additionally meet Springer's final publication requirements for its paper type (Full Paper or Short Paper).

Q9. Does an accepted paper always get published?

No. "Accepted" means the paper has earned a presentation slot at the conference. Whether it is formally published still depends on the author's final Publication Decision at the Camera-Ready stage, whether formal registration is completed, whether the required on-site presentation is completed, whether Camera-Ready Submission is completed, whether the necessary publication authorization is completed, and whether the publisher's or Organizing Committee's final publication requirements are met.

Q10. If an author chooses NOT-to-Publish, can the paper still be presented at TAAI 2026?

Yes. NOT-to-Publish means the paper is not included in the formal archival proceedings; it does not cancel the presentation slot the paper has already been granted, and the registration requirement for accepted papers still applies. For example, an International Track paper accepted as Accepted – Poster Presentation whose authors choose Presentation Only (NOT-to-Publish) can still be presented as a poster at TAAI 2026 per the acceptance decision, but the paper is not submitted to the Springer CCIS post-proceedings.

Q11. Does choosing NOT-to-Publish change the Oral / Poster assignment?

No. The Presentation Type is decided by the Organizing Committee based on review outcomes and program scheduling. The Publication Decision is confirmed by the author after acceptance. These are two separate matters.

Q12. If an author chooses NOT-to-Publish, will the title, authors, and abstract still appear in conference materials?

Possibly. NOT-to-Publish means the full manuscript is not included in the archival proceedings. However, the Organizing Committee may still list the title, authors, affiliations, abstract, and presentation information in the Conference Program, the Program & Abstract Book, a session webpage, or other program materials.

Q13. Will the full paper PDF of a NOT-to-Publish paper be made public?

In principle it should not be made public as an archival publication. If the Organizing Committee retains the final manuscript for administrative, review, or record-keeping purposes, retaining it does not mean it has been included in the formal proceedings. Handling follows the final TAAI 2026 Camera-Ready Instructions.

Q14. Does choosing NOT-to-Publish still require signing a formal publication authorization?

If the full paper does not enter the formal archival proceedings, authors should not, in principle, be required to complete the same publication license as a formal full-text publication. The Organizing Committee may still require authors to consent to publicizing the title, authors, abstract, and program information as a conference record.

Q15. What submission format does the International Track use?

The International Track accepts Full Papers at submission. Submissions must be:

  • written in English;
  • formatted per Springer LNCS A4;
  • 12–15 pages including references, with 15 pages as the maximum at submission (at camera-ready, papers assigned a Poster Presentation are published as Short Papers of 6–11 pages, and up to 2 additional pages can be added for a fee; see Q16–Q20 and the Camera-Ready page);
  • submitted via OpenReview as required by the Organizing Committee.
Q16. Once accepted, can an International Track paper be assigned an Oral or a Poster Presentation?

Yes. An accepted International Track paper is assigned by the Organizing Committee, based on review outcomes and program scheduling, to:

  • Accepted – Oral Presentation (published as a Full Paper, 12–15 pages, if Publish is chosen)
  • Accepted – Poster Presentation (published as a Short Paper, 6–11 pages, if Publish is chosen)

Both are formally accepted, peer-reviewed papers.

Q17. If an International Track paper is accepted as a Poster Presentation, is it a Short Paper?

Yes, in the proceedings. If the author chooses Publish, a paper accepted as a Poster Presentation is published in the Springer CCIS post-proceedings as a Short Paper of 6–11 pages (including references and appendices), which may be extended by up to 2 paid pages (maximum 13 pages; NT$1,500 per additional page). It is not an Extended Abstract. Authors should revise the final paper to the Short Paper length (or pay for up to 2 extra pages) at the Camera-Ready stage, or choose Presentation Only (NOT-to-Publish). See the Camera-Ready page, and the Camera-Ready FAQ on why the camera-ready length differs from the call for papers and on keeping an original longer manuscript. For the poster size and display requirements, see the Poster Presentation Guidelines.

Q18. If an International Track paper is assigned a Poster Presentation, can it still be included in the Springer CCIS post-proceedings?

Yes, as a Short Paper. As long as the authors:

  • prepare the final paper at the Short Paper length (6–11 pages, or up to 13 with paid extra pages; including references and appendices);
  • complete Camera-Ready Paper Submission;
  • ensure that at least one author completes registration;
  • present on-site as required;
  • complete the publication authorization and related procedures;
  • meet Springer's final publication requirements;

the paper can be submitted to the Springer CCIS post-proceedings. Final inclusion is still subject to publisher review.

Q19. Does an Oral Presentation carry a higher publication tier than a Poster Presentation?

They are different paper types, not different review standards. Papers accepted as Oral are published as Full Papers (12–15 pages) and papers accepted as Poster are published as Short Papers (6–11 pages). Both appear in the same Springer CCIS post-proceedings and are formally published if they complete the publication process.

Q20. If an International Track paper is accepted as a Poster and the author chooses Publish, should it be cited as a "poster paper"?

No. It should be cited using the formal bibliographic information provided by Springer, where it appears as a Short Paper in the proceedings volume. Poster is the on-site presentation format.

Q21. If an International Full Paper is accepted as Oral but the author chooses NOT-to-Publish, is it still a Springer paper?

No. If the author ultimately chooses NOT-to-Publish, the full paper is not submitted to the Springer CCIS post-proceedings and therefore cannot be cited as a CCIS publication. It can still be regarded as a TAAI 2026 conference presentation.

Q22. Is the Springer CCIS series indexed in Scopus, EI Compendex, or other databases?

Yes. Per Springer's own description of the Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series, CCIS is listed in databases including:

  • DBLP;
  • EI Compendex;
  • Scopus;
  • SCImago;

Some CCIS content may also be submitted for Web of Science conference proceedings indexing review, with final inclusion decided by Clarivate, not by Springer or TAAI.

A note for authors: indexing coverage is a property of the CCIS series as published by Springer; the exact timing of when a specific volume appears in a given database (e.g., Scopus) depends on that database's own indexing schedule and can lag behind the volume's publication date.

This applies to the CCIS post-proceedings volume that TAAI 2026's International Track papers (for authors who choose Publish) will be included in. See the TAAI's past proceedings on Springer page for prior volumes' indexing records.

Q23. What submission formats does the Domestic Track offer?

The Domestic Track offers two submission formats: Domestic Full Paper and Domestic Extended Abstract. "Domestic Track" itself is a submission track, not a separate submission type.

Q24. What is the length limit for a Domestic Full Paper?

A Domestic Full Paper is up to 6 A4 pages. It may be written in Chinese or English and must be submitted using the TAAI 2026 Domestic Track format.

Q25. Once accepted, can a Domestic Full Paper be assigned Oral or Poster Presentation?

Yes. The on-site presentation format for a Domestic Full Paper may be assigned by the Organizing Committee as Oral or Poster based on program scheduling. Its Full Paper status is unaffected by the presentation format.

Q26. How is a Domestic Full Paper published?

An accepted Domestic Full Paper, once the author completes the formal publication confirmation and related procedures after acceptance, will be included as a full paper in the TAAI 2026 Domestic Conference Proceedings. Its formal publication and availability are handled by the Organizing Committee per the final publication policy.

Q27. Is a Domestic Full Paper an archival publication?

If the author chooses formal publication and completes all required procedures, the Domestic Full Paper is treated as a formal conference paper publication record. Its formal bibliographic information, ISBN, availability, and other publication details will be announced separately by the Organizing Committee.

Q28. What is the length limit for a Domestic Extended Abstract?

A Domestic Extended Abstract is up to 2 A4 pages. This 2-page submission is mainly for review purposes and suits work in progress, preliminary results, or research the author wants to discuss and get feedback on at the conference.

Q29. What presentation format applies to a Domestic Extended Abstract?

A Domestic Extended Abstract is, in principle, presented as a Poster Presentation. This Poster Presentation is a formal conference presentation record, but it does not mean the full 2-page submission enters the archival proceedings. For the poster size and display requirements, see the Poster Presentation Guidelines.

Q30. Is a Domestic Extended Abstract an archival publication?

No. A Domestic Extended Abstract is handled as Non-Archival. Its main purpose is academic exchange and conference presentation; it is not considered a formal archival full-paper publication of TAAI 2026.

Q31. Will the full 2-page Domestic Extended Abstract submission be included in the formal proceedings?

No. The full 2-page Extended Abstract submission is used for review purposes only and is not included in the formal Full Paper Proceedings. After acceptance, the Organizing Committee may include the following in the TAAI 2026 Program & Abstract Book:

  • abstract;
  • presentation session information.

Yes. The Program & Abstract Book may be made available as a PDF or web page on the TAAI 2026 website and the Taiwanese Association for Artificial Intelligence website, as a record of the conference program and academic exchange. Public availability does not make its contents an archival full-paper publication.

Q38. Since the Program & Abstract Book has no ISBN, does that mean it can't be posted publicly?

No. Having an ISBN and being publicly available are separate matters. The Program & Abstract Book can still be made publicly available by TAAI 2026 or the Taiwanese Association for Artificial Intelligence even without an ISBN.

Q39. If a Domestic Extended Abstract has been made public in the Program & Abstract Book, does that count as formal publication?

Under TAAI 2026 policy, no. A Domestic Extended Abstract is positioned as a Non-Archival Conference Presentation. Even if its title, authors, and abstract are made public in the Program & Abstract Book, it is not considered a formal archival full-paper publication of TAAI 2026.

Q40. Can a Domestic Extended Abstract later be extended and submitted to another conference or journal?

In principle, yes. Authors may add substantial new content, such as a more complete methodology, new models or algorithms, more experiments, more complete data, additional analysis, theoretical derivations, or more complete results, and then submit to another conference or journal. Authors remain responsible for complying with that venue's policies on prior publication, duplicate publication, and content overlap.

Q41. Do authors need to cite the TAAI Extended Abstract when submitting to another journal or conference later?

If the title and abstract of the TAAI 2026 Extended Abstract have already been made public, authors are advised to appropriately disclose or cite it per that venue's requirements. Different publishers may judge prior disclosure or content overlap differently, so authors should follow the requirements of the venue they submit to in the future.

Q42. Are High School Student Session papers included in the Springer CCIS post-proceedings?

No, unless otherwise announced. The High School Student Session is an independent student showcase track and is not part of the International Track's Springer CCIS post-proceedings pipeline.

Q43. How are High School Student Session papers ultimately included?

The final handling of High School Session papers follows the High School Session's own announcements. Under a non-archival model, the Organizing Committee may include the title, authors, school, advising teacher, abstract, and presentation information in the Program & Abstract Book. Unless otherwise announced, these are not included in the Springer CCIS post-proceedings.

Q44. How can authors tell which presentation and publication status applies to their paper?

In the acceptance notification and at the Camera-Ready stage, the Organizing Committee should clearly indicate: Track, Submission Format, Presentation Type, Final Publication Decision, Publication Venue, and Publication Status. For example:

  • Example 1: International Track · Accepted – Oral Presentation · Publish as Full Paper (12–15 pages) · Springer CCIS post-proceedings · Archival
  • Example 2: International Track · Accepted – Poster Presentation · Publish as Short Paper (6–11 pages) · Springer CCIS post-proceedings · Archival
  • Example 3: International Track · Accepted – Poster Presentation · Presentation Only (NOT-to-Publish) · Program / Abstract Record Only · Non-Archival
  • Example 4: Domestic Track · Full Paper · Accepted – Oral Presentation · Publish · TAAI 2026 Domestic Conference Proceedings · Archival
  • Example 5: Domestic Track · Extended Abstract · Accepted – Poster Presentation · Program & Abstract Book · Non-Archival
