Selection and Paper Submission
Types of Works
Three types of communications are admitted to the Conference: Papers, work in progress and posters.
- ‘Paper’ is considered the original research work, having completed all its phases.
- ‘Work in progress’ is considered the original work referred to as a medium or long-term research project. It is mandatory that the works have the following structure: objectives, methodological aspects and foreseeable contributions of the study.
- ‘Doctoral Thesis’ is considered the original research work, completed or not, in which the authors look for a different interaction with the participants to the Conference.
- ‘Poster’ is considered the original research work, completed or not, in which the authors look for a different interaction with the participants to the Conference. The purpose of the poster is to encourage the person-to-person discussion about the poster’s research. The authors will interact with the participants by standing next to the posters on the assigned day and schedule.
Review and evaluation of work abstract
- For each Paper, Work in Progress or Doctoral Thesis submitted, authors must fill in the form ( Call for Papers ) that appears on the web page. All the identification data must be completed.
- After the submission of the abstract, the applicants will be notified by email with further guidelines about the presentation.
- The evaluation is structured by conference areas. The committee will decide the area where they want to evaluate their work, although the author may ask to be reassigned to a different area in order to optimize the work of the scientific committee.
- Once the evaluation is completed, the management system will contact the applicant and notify them in terms of their acceptance.
Publication in the Conference Proceedings
Once the abstracts have been accepted, the authors will decide whether the abstract or any publication at all will be published in the Book of Proceedings. The organizing committee will request the authors of accepted papers for information about it.
