Abstract Submission
Submission Types
Track A Full paper: These submissions should report on a systematic investigation of a clearly defined research problem, OR discuss conceptual/ theoretical ideas, OR report on a systematic analysis of experience/cases (e.g., evaluation of an initiative, analysis of a training experience, action research etc.). Research can be based on empirical data or secondary sources, but it should describe the methodological steps taken. These submissions should target completed research.
Track B Ideas at Work: These submissions can target partially completed research where the results might not be fully available at the point of submission.
The abstract should not be more than 300 words and include information on the following headings:
• Title (not included in the word limit)
• Introduction and/or theoretical framework and/or review of the literature
• Purpose and objectives
• Methods and/or data sources, theoretical/philosophical themes, or process of a program or product development
• Findings, products, and/or conclusions*
• Theoretical and practical implications and recommendations*
• Reference (not included in the word limit): Include in the word template only. Do not include it in the submission box.
*Ideas at Work submissions may omit sections when necessary, such as findings and recommendations.
The submission will be considered for either Oral or Poster Presentation. If your submitted abstract is accepted, it will be assigned a presentation type based on the reviewers’ comments and assessment. The abstract will be reviewed by a peer-review (double-blind reviews) panel comprising the convenors, the program committee and other qualified reviewers. Those that are not accepted for an oral presentation will be considered for poster presentations.
