Submission GUIDELINES & PROCEDURES

All submissions must follow the guidelines outlined in the Author Paper Formatting guidelines.

When you submit your paper, you will be asked to sign an agreement about the use of the paper. Your paper should be identified clearly as a full research paper or a working research paper. If your paper is accepted, at least one author must register, pay and attend the conference to present the paper.

All paper submissions must also include a Transfer of Copyright Agreement. This form must be read and consented to as part of your paper submission.

All submissions will go through a blind peer review process managed by the Co-Chairs of the Scientific Committee, in conjunction with the Scientific Committee's Editorial Board and other members of the Scientific Commitee. All submissions will be provided with reviewers’ feedback and suggestions to further improve the quality of the research.

Full Research Papers

Papers submitted in this category are research work, or work presenting conceptual and theoretical development, that are complete. The paper should be between 4,000 and 5,000 words (including references, tables and figures) and will be double-blind, peer reviewed by two reviewers nominated by the Editorial Board of the Scientific Committee. All papers must be original submissions that have not already been published. Full research papers are eligible for nomination by reviewers for the ‘CAUTHE Award for Best Full Paper’. Full research papers submitted by a PhD student on work derived from their study are eligible for nomination by the reviewers for the ‘Bill Faulkner Memorial Award for Best PhD Paper’. To qualify in this category, the primary author must be a student and the author’s registered supervisor must be listed as the co-author. More information about Awards can be found at CAUTHE Awards.

Working Research Papers

Working papers are those for which a substantial amount of the research work, or conceptual and theoretical development is mostly complete. Working papers should be between 1,200 and 1,500 words (including references, tables and figures). The paper will be blind peer-reviewed by the Scientific Committee. All papers must be original submissions that have never been published.

Presenting your paper at the conference

There are three presentation formats for the CAUTHE 2022 conference:

10-minute oral presentation (+ 5 minutes Q&A)
5-minute "lightning" oral presentation (+ 5 minutes Q&A)
Poster presentations

CAUTHE 2022 is a hybrid conference and each presentation format will be available to both in-person and online delegates. You can note your preferred presentation format when submitting your paper. While every attempt will be made to accommodate your preference, please note it may not be possible to accommodate every delegate’s first preference. The intention is for all online presenters to present live. However, we require all online presentations to be pre-recorded to reduce the risk of an individual presenter having a technology problem when it is time for them to present. Following acceptance, a communication will be sent surrounding the submission of online presentations and e-posters.
