Paper Guidelines

At first participants should upload their abstracts (in .doc or .docx file format). All abstracts submitted to congress undergo blind review process by at least two anonymous reviewers. The reviewers are chosen from the scientific committee. Typically, the field coordinators will seek reviewers’ feedback before considering your submission for acceptance. In that case, the field coordinator will wait until he/she receives all reviewer comments on your submission. The field coordinator will then e-mail you directly with a decision. The proceedings are accepted according to the abstracts you have uploaded. Until the congress you can upload your full paper(s). Meanwhile, you have opportunity to revise your proceeding according to feedbacks that you will take in the congress. Therefore, full paper submission deadline was set at a date after the congress (26 June 2015).

Abstract Format

All abstracts need to include the topic and the problem, significance of the study, the objective and the methods used in the research, results and a short discussion/conclusion. Moreover, keywords (4-6 keywords) need to be added at the end of the abstract. The abstracts should include minimum 500 words and maximum 700 words.

There are three types of presentation:

·         Single Oral Presentation

Single Oral Presentation

This presentation format allows for 15 minutes of individual presentation time followed by a 5 minute discussion session moderated by a chairperson. Each accepted paper will be scheduled in a session of 80 minutes, normally with four presenters.

Interactive Poster Presentation

Dedicated poster sessions will be scheduled in the conference programme. In each of these sessions there will be 15 posters. Each poster in the session will include a graphic presentation of a research study on visual display of size A0 (0,841m x 1,189m) in “portrait” format. Each poster holder will orally present their research in approximately 3 minutes in the area of the poster displays to an audience gathered as a group in front of each poster. The chairperson will organise the interactive poster sections.

Virtual Presentations

Participants must submit a previously recorded video (allowed formats for the videos are .avi, .mp4 & .flv) about their presentation, which will be played to the audiences in the scheduled session. While the video presentation is played congress team will connect with the presenter via Skype. Then, the audiences will have the opportunity to ask their questions to the presenter. Appropriate presentation time (15 min for video presentation and 5 min Skype connection for Q&A) will be allocated to every presenter. The virtual presenters have to send their recorded videos until 22 May 2015 due to technical arrangements.
