Submission Guidelines

All papers must be submitted through the Easychair submission system in PDF format only, following LNCS format.

Submissions must be written in Portuguese, Spanish, or English. Papers should not exceed 7 pages of content for Master's work, and 10 pages of content for Doctoral work.

Although this is not compulsory, we recommend that the research is at an intermediate stage so that experts' suggestions could be included in the MSc and PhD work. Works will receive feedback from the Program Committee including questions and suggestions about their content. Authors should use these comments to prepare the paper's final version.

During the event, the works selected must be presented by students. On this occasion, they will receive opinions and constructive criticism from a Guest Panel composed of researchers in the field of Requirements Engineering, as well as from the audience.

Any paper that exceeds the page limit, lies beyond the scope of the conference, or does not follow the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee.

All accepted papers will be published with Open Access through the WERpapers repository.
