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

When you submit your paper, you will be asked to accept 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 agree to the Transfer of Copyright Agreement. You will be asked to agree to these terms upon submission of your paper. 

All submissions will go through a blind peer review process managed by the Conference Chairs of the research Tracks and the Chair of the Scientific Committee. All submissions will be provided with reviewers’ feedback and suggestions to further improve the quality of the research. 

Papers submitted in this category are research work, or work presenting conceptual and theoretical development, that are complete. The paper should be around 4,000-5,000 words (including references, tables and figures) and will be double-blind, peer reviewed by two reviewers nominated by 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.
