==========================================================

The 11th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Graphs
(IJCKG-2022, in cooperation with ISWC-2022) is a premium academic
forum on Knowledge Graphs. The mission of IJCKG-2022 is to bring
together international researchers in the Knowledge Graph community
and other related areas to present their innovative research results
or novel applications of Knowledge Graphs. IJCKG has evolved from the
Joint International Semantic Technology Conference (JIST): a joint
event for disseminating research results regarding the Semantic Web,
Knowledge Graphs, Linked Data and AI on the Web.

Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library within
its International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). The best
papers accepted to IJCKG-2022 will be recommended to one of the
following journals:

- World Wide Web Journal (Science Citation Index Expanded)
- Big Data Research (Science Citation Index Expanded)
- Data Science Engineering (EI Compendex) 
- Data Intelligence (EI Compendex)

Submission
Submissions to IJCKG-2022 should describe original work on Knowledge
Graphs. IJCKG-2022 will not accept submissions that are under review
for or have already been published or accepted for publication in a
journal or another conference(*).

(*) Non-peer-reviewed documents such as theses, technical reports,
publications on preprint servers (e.g., arXiv.org) or workshops papers
without formal proceedings are not considered prior publications. In
such cases, IJCKG-2022 authors are not precluded from submitting
papers on the same topic by the same authors.

Full research papers submitted to IJCKG-2022 are expected to present
their claimed research contribution, with clear evidence to support
their claims.  All submissions will be reviewed by at least three
members of the Program Committee of the Research Track. These
anonymous reviewers will judge each paper's relevance to the
conference, technical soundness, and the readability of the
submission.

Submission site and format of IJCKG-2022 submissions are not anonymous
and can be submitted electronically via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/-conf=ijckg2022). Submissions must
be in PDF format, using the latest ACM Proceedings Format with the
default 9pt font (see sample-sigconf.tex or Interim layout.docx from
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Regular paper
submissions must be no longer than 8 pages, excluding references.
Unlimited additional pages may be used for references. Submissions
that exceed this limit or that do not follow the indicated format may
be rejected without review.  At least one author of each accepted
paper must register for the conference and present the paper.  Papers
for which authors do not register and present may be excluded from the
proceedings.
