About the Journal
The Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (TCDL) Papers are a new addition to the TCDL conference proceedings this year. They are an optional add-on for presentations, panels, lightning talks, and posters. If you choose the short paper option, in addition to presenting at the conference, you will submit a written paper based on your presentation content. That paper will undergo a full peer review and be published digitally in the TCDL 2027 Conference Proceedings.
You can see the TCDL 2026 Proceedings in the TDL Repository.
Our hope is that the short paper option will give presenters an additional way to share your research and experience, in a different and highly-valued format.
