ACM Transactions on the Web
Information for Authors
Is TWEB the right place to publish your work?
ACM Transactions on the Web (TWEB) welcomes original, unpublished research submissions which are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The topic of the submission should fall within the scope of TWEB's charter and topic areas described on the About page.
Publication of an enhanced version of a previously published conference paper is possible if the review process determines that (a) the revision contains significant enhancements, amplification or clarification of the original material and (b) there is a significant additional benefit to be gained from journal publication. Any prior appearance of a substantial amount of a submission should be noted in the submission letter and on the title page; a footnote on the first page should indicate that the submission is an extended version of the earlier paper(s). A separate file should describe the differences between the original conference paper and the new submission; this file should be uploaded according to the directions in the Manuscript Central paper submission system. The authors should also upload an electronic version of the earlier publication(s) according to the directions in Manuscript Central. Authors are encouraged to read the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous Submissions as well as the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism (including self plagiarism). TWEB forbids authors from submitting papers which would be under consideration simultaneously for publication in both TWEB and another copyrighted forum.
Submissions should be well positioned within the Web-related literature, showing how the work reported relates to existing work. Relevant papers in the Web-related literature should be cited - if there are few of these then the submission may not be relevant for TWEB (see the Related work bullet point below). Submissions should also have a substantial evaluation section.
Formatting and Preparing your Manuscript
TWEB requires that articles be submitted electronically. Articles must follow the "Small Standard Format" described in the ACM formatting guidelines. Submissions must be accompanied by a cover letter containing that includes:
Suggestions of three Associate Editors who seem most suitable to handle the submission, and
Disclosure of possible conflicts of interest with Associate Editors.
Submissions that do not conform to these guidelines will be returned to the authors for correction.
Additionally, to ensure proper indexing, classification, retrieval and dissemination, authors must include the following in the manuscript:
Author names and affiliations: Authors' names should be given without titles or degrees along with the names and addresses of the authors' institution. Identify the contact author for co-authored work.
Abstract: The abstract should concisely state the objectives of the work, summarize the results, and give the principal conclusions, but omit future plans and citations.
Content indicators: Categories and subject descriptors should be chosen from the Computing Reviews Classification Scheme.
Related work: Submissions should cite relevant Web-related research, showing how this work is related to and differs from prior work. Relevant research can occur in many sources, such as The Web Conference and WSDM conferences and other SIGWEB conferences, other ACM journals, and many other venues.
Citations to relevant literature: Citations should be placed in the body of the submission.
The review form that reviewers will complete when reviewing your submission may assist you in preparing it.
NOTE: The ACM Digital Library hosts ancillary material for a published paper on its web site. This material, an online appendix that does not appear in the print journal, is linked to and accessed from the online table of contents. For example, authors could provide hypertext and/or XML versions of their papers, or animations, or any other appropriate technology. Authors that wish to use this option should attach such material as an appendix to their submission and indicate in their cover letter that this material is intended to be ancillary material included in the Digital Library, and how it is intended to be accessed. All ancillary material should be free from viruses.
Submitting Your Manuscript
Please submit papers via Manuscript Central, https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tweb
You should receive an email acknowledgement that the submission has been successfully received. If you fail to receive such an email acknowledgement, please contact the journal administrator (tweb-admin@acm.org).
The Review Process
When we receive your manuscript and verify that it can be read and is within the scope of the journal, an Associate Editor will take responsibility for handling the review process. The Associate Editor will assign the article to 3-4 reviewers, study the reviews that are returned, and make an overall recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief.
A manuscript submitted for the first time might be accepted subject to minor revisions or rejected, but many published articles first receive a "Revise and Resubmit" recommendation. If this happens, it may be very worthwhile to persevere, revising the manuscript to fix problems and clarify misunderstandings. Resubmissions should be accompanied with a cover letter that explains in detail how the comments of the reviewers were dealt with.
The Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editor may also decide to desk reject a submission, without sending it out to reviewers, if examination of the manuscript shows that the likelihood of acceptance is extremely low.
