<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">(co-located with EuroVis 2023) June 12th, 2023, Leipzig, Germany</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">*******************************************************************************</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Over the years, many visualization methods and tools have been developed and published by the visualization research community. However, most of these are prototypes and never reach
a state that can be reliably used by the target audience, e.g., domain scientists. Also, availability of these prototypes as source code or at least as executables is still the exception rather than the norm. The VisGap workshop aims to shed light on this
gap between research and practical applicability, examine the obstacles every researcher faces, and propose solutions to overcome this problem as a community.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">VisGap’23 aims at gathering experts from all over the visualization community to advance the way our field works with software, sustains software, and values the effort our members
put into developing said software. The scope of VisGap also includes reproducibility and replicability. Both are cornerstones of the scientific method and essential for building trust in visualizations and increasing their acceptance, ultimately fostering
adoption in the wild. We also explicitly solicit contributions about visualization systems and tools, and their employment in research and practice.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Following the scheme of EGPGV, VisGap’23 has two submission deadlines: early submission in mid-December and regular submission in early March. This gives authors the flexibility to
choose between the two submission deadlines. The early submission deadline allowed authors improving their manuscripts and resubmitting them to the regular deadline in case they are not successful in the early review stage, similar to a major revision.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We solicit papers with 4-8 pages, with one additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference
proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book, or must present a substantial extension of previous work (at least 30%). Papers must be submitted through PCS (<a href="https://new.precisionconference.com/">https://new.precisionconference.com/</a>). All submissions
will undergo a single-blind, single-stage peer review process. Accepted papers will be published by the Eurographics Association, and be stored in the Eurographics Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in
the VisGap'23 workshop to present their work.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
