• See the Registration page of your conference for the terms and conditions.

7. Presentation Requirement

• At least one author presents the paper, in person or virtually, depending on the options of the conference.

Abstract

The abstract must be written in English and submitted in .doc or .docx format. It should be concise and clearly state the purpose, significance and key aspects of the research, in 150–250 words, using complete sentences, active voice and clear academic language.

Full Paper

Authors of accepted abstracts prepare and submit their full paper for review as a Microsoft Word document of 4 to 8 pages, including tables, figures and references. Papers must present original, high-quality research that has not been published before, written in clear English. Authors who are not fluent in English are encouraged to have their manuscript edited before submission: the review does not correct grammar, and papers with many language errors may be rejected.
