Submissions

Author Guidelines

1. General Information

Originality
All papers must present work that is new and not published elsewhere, including journals, previous conferences, or online platforms. This ensures that the conference disseminates unique contributions to the scholarly community.

Language
All submissions must be written in English, as it is the language of communication for the conference. Proper grammar, syntax, and spelling are important for peer review and inclusion in proceedings. Authors whose first language is not English are encouraged to seek proofreading assistance.

Scope and Relevance
Submissions should be aligned with the multidisciplinary nature of the conference. This means the paper should either:

• Address topics that cross disciplinary boundaries,
• Present findings that have implications for more than one field,
• Or be clearly positioned within a discipline while showing awareness of broader interdisciplinary dialogue.

2. Submission Types

Full Paper

• Intended for completed research.
• Should include all standard academic sections: introduction, literature review, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion.
• Typically expected to have strong evidence, detailed methodology, and solid conclusions.
• Best suited for mature work with publishable findings.

Short Paper

• For work-in-progress, pilot studies, early concepts, or emerging research ideas.
• Still structured like a full paper but more concise and possibly speculative.
• Emphasis is on novelty, clarity, and potential, rather than depth of results.
• Useful for researchers seeking early feedback or looking to engage the community.

3. Formatting Requirements

• Use the official Full Paper Template
• File format: .docx
• Length:

Full Paper: 6–10 pages (including references).
Short Paper: 3–5 pages.

• Font: Times New Roman, 11 pt
• Line spacing: 1.15
• Margins: 1 inch all sides
