Submission Instructions

Click here to submit your paper!

Four types of submissions are sought: research (original contributions and summaries), application, and demo oriented:

• Research contributions present novel ideas or theoretical advancements regarding representation and reasoning, and position this result in the context of known QR theory (full or short paper).
• Research contributions may also summarize accepted contributions at another venue (typically an AI conference or a journal) in order to present and discuss the works in the QR community (short paper).
• Application contributions present the use and evaluation of software implementing QR theory in actual real-world contexts. Evaluations can range from technology oriented (e.g. address software functioning in operational contexts) to human oriented (e.g. address usability or stakeholders and market related issues). Application contributions may be submitted as either full or short paper.
• Demos focus on (novel) implementations of QR theory in software. They can be proof of concepts, but also mature products. Contributions typically address the extras needed to realize the implementation. Typically, demos would be submitted as short paper.

Format:

• Submissions must be submitted via EasyChair before the submission deadline (see Dates).
• Submissions must be in PDF format and not exceed 8 pages, plus one additional page for references (full paper), respectively 3 pages for short papers plus one for references
• Submissions should be formatted according to the IJCAI 2026 author guidelines
• Submissions do not need to be anonymized; the author list and the author publications should read as they will in the camera-ready copy.

Review Process
All submissions will be evaluated and selected according to their quality, significance, originality, and potential to generate discussion. Each contribution will be reviewed by at least two referees from the QR2026 Program Committee. Papers may be accepted for either long oral or short oral/poster presentation.

Accepted papers will be published as a collection of Working papers. As QR2026 is a workshop, not a conference, submission of the same paper to conferences (e.g., ECAI, AAAI or IJCAI) or journals is acceptable.

Submission
Authors of rejected main track papers that would like to forward their paper to QR26, please contact the workshop organizers!
The submission site for QR2026 will be available soon.
