Review Policy

This review policy is followed for all academic papers. In the first instance, contributors are asked to submit abstract of their work. The conference selection panel considers all abstracts that are received by the published closing date. At this stage, the key issue is the relevance of the proposed contribution. Providing the work is relevant then the author(s) are invited to submit a full paper of a maximum of 5,000 words.

When the full paper is submitted, it is double-blind reviewed by a member of the conference committee. This review focuses on 10 issues intended to ensure that the paper is relevant to the conference, is of a sufficiently high quality to be accepted for presentation at the conference.
