Author Guidelines

The first step to submitting a paper to the conference is to create a user account with this website.  This is to ensure that ACSPRI can keep track of all submissions efficiently.  You may log in periodically to check the status of your submission at your leisure, and ACSPRI will send you an email when the submission has been finalised.  You may create an account for the website here.

Work-in-progress proposals:

To have a work-in-progress paper considered for presentation at the conference, go to the submission page and submit an Abstract of 500 words or less.  Abstracts will be reviewed by session chairs.  Work-in-progress presentations will be published as 'reviewed abstracts' in the conference proceedings.

Peer reviewed papers:

Peer reviewed papers are full papers blind reviewed by 2 reviewers.

To have a peer reviewed paper considered for presentation at the conference, go to the submission page and submit a full paper. Peer reviewed papers will be published as 'refereed papers' in the conference proceedings.

Formatting and style:

  • Paragraphs should use 1.5 spacing throughout, with 2.5cm page margins;

  • The Macquarie Dictionary is the Conference standard for spelling.

  • Main sub-headings should be typed with initial capitals, in bold, aligned  against the left margin. Minor sub-headings should be treated in the same way and italicised. No further levels of headings should be used.

  • All illustrations, tables and figures are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

  • Type styles should be 12-point font, avoiding over-use of italics, boldface or capitals.

  • Acknowledgements should be given under a final sub-heading immediately preceding the References.

  • Endnotes should be used only in exceptional circumstances. Instead, place explanatory notes parenthetically in the text if required.

  • References should be used sparingly, and should follow the author-date Harvard system.

 

Submission Preparation Checklist

  1. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another conference for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Director).
  2. The submission file is in Microsoft Word or RTF document file format.
  3. The text is in 1.5 line-spacing; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  4. If submitting to a peer-reviewed track of the conference, authors' names are removed from submission, with "Author" and year used in the bibliography and footnotes, instead of authors' name, paper title, etc.
  5. If submitting to peer review, all Microsoft Office documents (including supplementary files) have been saved by going to File and selecting Save As; clicking Tools (or Options in a Mac); clicking Security; selecting "Remove personal information from file properties on save"; clicking save.
