All participants of the colloquium who delivered a paper and intend to publish it in the proceedings of LVLT13 are invited to submit the final version as soon as possible.

If you submit your paper at the last moment but it does not conform to the publication norms, you will have no time to correct the layout of your paper which will be rejected.
Your article should not exceed 30.000 characters with spaces (including all elements, i.e. abstract, footnotes, references), which corresponds to approx. 10 pages. If you gave your presentation in a plenary session, your character limit is 40.000 characters. The paper should be submitted in Word (.doc, .docx or .rtf.); if you use figures or any special page settings, please also attach a .pdf version.
When submitting your paper, please make sure to indicate a working email address and the affiliation of each contributing author.

Papers are accepted on the understanding that they have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, and that they are subject to peer review. Papers accepted for publication by the editorial board are subject to editorial revision.
Papers submitted for publication on time that conform to the publication guidelines will be evaluated by two anonymous reviewers and divided into four categories: (i) publish as it is; (ii) publish with minor changes; (iii) request major revision and another review; (iv) reject. Authors of the articles falling into the categories (ii) and (iii) will have one month to make revisions and improvements. The publisher reserves the right to reject the publication of papers categorized (iii) if justified (in case the number of papers received on time significantly exceeds the numbers of papers intended to publish).
Please note that once you get back the peer-reviewed and formatted paper from the editor for being finalised, further corrections should be kept to an absolute minimum, only typos and editing errors can be fixed.
