ACM CIKM review is double-blind. Therefore, please anonymize your submission! Non-anonymised papers will be rejected without review. If your CIKM 2011 submission is an extension of a previously-published workshop paper the contributions beyond that workshop paper should be discussed in the related work section, referencing the workshop paper as an anonymous citation.

To submit a paper, go to the CIKM 2011 submission system. You'll need to create an account to submit your paper. If you are already registered as a reviewer for CIKM 2011, then you can submit your paper through this account.
