Review Process
All abstracts will undergo a peer-review process by the program committee. The Program Committee will allocate abstracts to the program taking into account the quality of each abstract and the balance of the program.
Refereed papers will be blind-reviewed.
Presentation Formats
It is anticipated oral sessions will be allocated 25-30-minutes, including question time.
The following descriptions may help to explain the types of presentations available and the associated expectations.
A refereed paper (full written paper and oral presentation)
A refereed paper is one that is considered of publishable standard by ones peers in the field of study. The process of refereeing involves sending the paper to others in the field with experience who check carefully the research methodology, results and conclusion. In other words, these papers are research based and expected to be of a very high standard
A non-refereed paper (written paper and oral presentation)
These will not go through the referee process, yet are expected to be of relevance to the theme of the conference and of interest to the participants. An editorial team will judge if and how they can fit into the program.
A non-refereed workshop.
A workshop with a theme emphasising practical solutions. We are hoping to get people who wish to teach others some skills and pass on knowledge and practical steps they have taken to improve their services and/or improve the experience of the students.
Workshops should involve a significant degree of participation from those in attendance. It is not meant to be a 1.5hr lecture.
Conference Proceedings
Authors will be required to submit a full paper for inclusion in the conference proceedings should they be accepted to present a refereed or non-refereed paper. The conference proceedings will be available online.
Both refereed and non-refereed papers have a 4,000 word limit (and require a 30min presentation at the conference). Non-refereed workshops do not require a paper to be submitted.
