Instructions for Authors of Papers
In order to be accepted for the conference, authors will have registered with our ConfTool conference management software and provided contact details and a 300 word abstract. Authors whose abstracts were not submitted as part of a chaired panel have now been grouped into a panel and assigned a chair. Your chair should contact you in the development of your paper. If for any reason your information on ConfTool is out of date please update it.
We suggest that draft papers are sent to chairs in July and that chairs’ comments are completed by the end of August for incorporation into the final paper submitted in October.
Instructions for Chairs of Paper Sessions
Chairs have ‘reviewer’ status on our ConfTool conference management software which will allow them to access their authors’ contact details and submissions. If chairs have trouble negotiating ConfTool, please let us know.
We would like chairs to prompt authors to prepare for the session and to comment on draft papers for possible inclusion in the final publication.
On the day of the conference, chairs will be responsible for the smooth running of the session, ensuring that speakers stick to time and allowing time for questions and comments. We would like you to identify the paper or papers that you felt made the most significant contribution to the development of the discourse for peer review and possible publication. There will be a feedback sheet in your delegate pack which you should return to us before you leave the conference.
