Members of the Scientific Comitee will assess submissions using the criteria below.
- Submissions are received on time and in the required format
- The abstract content is presented in the appropriate mode
- Submissions of primary and secondary empirical research, both qualitative and quantitative, include analyses and a summary of findings. It is not sufficient to state, “the data will be analysed”
- Where applicable, theoretical framework or qualitative methodology must be clearly described.
All submissions meeting these criteria are accepted for inclusion in the scientific programme.
Reviewing is carried out blind so please ensure that authors are not identifiable from the abstract main text.
The decision of the committee is final.
The most common reasons for rejecting abstracts are:
- Incomplete or insufficient empirical evidence reported in the abstract
- The guidelines on abstract submission were not adhered to, in particular, abstract not anonymised
- The abstract arrived after the deadline.
