You are encouraged to read carefully the submission information before you submit a Paper Symposium, an Individual Paper or a Poster.<\/strong><\/p>\n Submissions Deadline:\u00a0<\/b>January 30<\/span> February 19, 2024<\/span><\/p>\n Paper Symposium<\/strong><\/p>\n The paper symposium is a group of presentations focused on a common theme that are submitted together. To attain cohesion, the symposium should focus on a specific topic and emphasise cross-cutting issues and the integration of findings. Symposia can include 3-4 paper talks and a discussant, or 4-5 paper talks without a discussant. If a symposium is submitted with a discussant, this will NOT count toward the\u00a0<\/span>maximum two-presenting role requirement<\/strong>. Symposium organisers are strongly encouraged to incorporate either international participation into their submissions or multiple research projects or multiple aspects of diversity. These elements will be important considerations when reviewers are choosing among submissions with equivalent scientific merit. Total time allowed for the session: 75 minutes with 10-15 minutes for questions and discussion.<\/p>\n Individual Paper<\/strong><\/p>\n Individual paper presentations will be grouped thematically into a Thematic Symposium (4 -5 papers). If both reviewers suggest that the paper should be presented as a poster, then the authors will be notified of the result and they should decide if they would like to present it as a poster. Total time allowed for the Thematic Symposium: 75 minutes with opportunity for questions\/discussion.<\/p>\n Poster<\/strong><\/p>\n Posters refer to an individual visual presentation. Posters are an appropriate format when material can be explained briefly, is suited for graphic presentation, and\/or the presenter would benefit from high levels of interaction and discussion. Posters that could be grouped thematically into Thematic Poster Sessions will assign a discussant (4 to 8 posters) otherwise they can be presented in the usual free-standing mode.\u00a0 Total time allowed for the session: 60 minutes<\/p>\n Please select a Thematic Topic that is most relevant to your submission. Your selection will be used to determine the panel that reviews your submission and the grouping of individual paper and poster into Thematic Sessions.<\/strong><\/p>\n For Paper Symposiums<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span>Title<\/u>: Enter the title of the symposium with no more than 150 characters, including spaces and punctuation. \u00a0<\/span>Integrative Statement<\/u>: An integrative statement summarises the nature and significance of the proposed topic. The integrative statement must be no more than 250 words and should not include the title of the submission. The integrative statement will be pasted into a textbox.Key words<\/u>: Enter a maximum of 5 keywords. Choose<\/span> a thematic topic\u00a0<\/span>The Papers<\/u>\u00a0<\/span>(3-5): A word document with the Titles, the Authors\u2019 names and affiliations and the Abstracts (250 words each abstract) will be uploaded as a Word processing document.<\/p>\n For Individual Papers and Posters<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span>Title<\/u>: Enter the title with no more than 150 characters, including spaces and punctuation. \u00a0<\/span>Abstract<\/u>: Pasted the abstract in the space provided with a maximum 250 words. Key words<\/u>: Enter a maximum of 5 keywords. Choose<\/span> a thematic topic.<\/p>\n Once completed, an email will be sent to you as confirmation of your submission. You will be able to edit your submission up to the deadline<\/u>.<\/p>\n Each submission will be peer-reviewed by two reviewers.<\/p>\n Reviewers will be asked to consider the following criteria when rating proposals:<\/p>\n Clarity of formulation and conceptualization<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The purpose, question, or issue is clearly delineated and linked to the empirical and theoretical significance of the work. There must be enough empirical material, coded and analysed, to judge the merit of a proposal.<\/p>\n Adequacy of methods:<\/strong><\/p>\n The methods are appropriate for the question asked or the purpose undertaken. Be particularly alert, imposing a narrow definition of methodological adequacy that may be inappropriate in some areas. For research posters or papers, the method is clearly presented, appropriately executed, solid and replicable, logically designed, and matched in scope to the question. Descriptive case studies, single subject, and small -N designs, and other approaches are as appropriate as large group studies with statistical analyses. Analyses are appropriate for the data. Studies with analyses in progress may be acceptable if the designs and the analyses are well conceptualised.<\/p>\n Appropriateness of interpretations:<\/strong><\/p>\n The interpretation is appropriate and in relation to the main question, issue, or purpose. The interpretation is justified in relation to the data and analyses, the material reviewed, or other information presented.<\/p>\n Importance of topic:<\/strong><\/p>\n The topic is of scientific, scholarly, methodological, or theoretical importance. The content is timely in relation to current issues or controversies. The content is likely to be of interest to attendees.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion toggle_icon=”||divi||400″ module_id=”paper” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_level=”h2″ custom_padding=”||||true|false” box_shadow_style=”preset7″ box_shadow_color=”#E09900″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Individual Paper” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Each submission will be peer-reviewed by two reviewers.
