Competitive papers are papers based on empirical studies that have been completed and are, in principle, ready for submission to a journal. The authors of accepted competitive papers will have 20 minutes to present their work.
All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review process; reviewers will not know who authored the papers, nor will authors know the names of their reviewers.
Format and Style for Competitive Papers:
Please include
- Title
- Abstract (100-200 words)
- Manuscript (up to 5,000 words)
- Table or Figure (these do not count against the word limit)
- References (do not count against the word limit)
Please note that submissions with text longer than 5,000 words will not be reviewed.
Confirmation that your paper was submitted successfully will be sent via email to the submitter. At least one author of each accepted competitive paper must agree to register and present the research at the conference. Authors of accepted competitive papers also have the option of publishing either a long abstract or a full paper in the conference proceedings.
Choosing to publish a long abstract gives authors the option to submit the paper elsewhere for publication after the conference.
