Editorial Policies

Overview

The conference is organised around four major themes:

  • Datasets and data collections
  • Methods and techniques
  • Technology and tools
  • Research paradigms and research design

Each theme will have 1-2 plenary sessions (presentations, panels or round tables); sessions/streams where papers are presented (listed here); and short courses or workshops as appropriate. There will be two types of papers: Refereed papers where the full paper is reviewed, and Work-in-Progress papers where the abstract is reviewed by the session convenor.

 

The submission process is described here.

 

Review Process

Abstracts: The conference organisers will forward abstracts to session convenors. The session convenor will decide whether the proposal is of sufficient quality and relevance to the conference themes. 

Refereed papers: The conference organisers will forward papers to session convenors. Session convenors will contact potential peer reviewers and send papers (without identifying information) to two reviewers. Guidelines and a response form are provided with each paper. On the basis of the two reviews, the session convenor will decide whether the paper is of sufficient quality and relevance to the conference themes.
