Competitive Papers
Track Chairs
Outline
We invite submissions of empirical and conceptual papers. Papers considered for this track should conform to a standard journal manuscript format, including an introduction, research question or goal, literature review/theoretical background, methods, (preliminary) findings, and discussion/contributions. Conceptual papers are welcome, and their format may vary from that indicated above. Accepted submissions will be grouped with three other competitive papers for presentation in a 90-minute combined session.
Submission Guidelines
Competitive paper submissions may not exceed 3, 000 words (excluding references, figures, and/or tables) and should be in Word or PDF format. Each paper may include one table or figure (not counted in the word limit). No author information should be included in the submitted document.
Please ensure that all author information is removed from the document properties.
