1. Eligibility and Requirements
Eligibility
Papers must not have been previously presented or scheduled for presentation at any other conference. If the work has been presented at a previous ABEATS, the submission must represent a serious development beyond that of the previous presentation.
There is no limit to the number of papers submitted.
Papers can be submitted to one track only
Your submission can be made to one track only. If the Track Chairs feel your full submission is relevant to more than one track, they have the discretion to discuss the merits of a submission to the relevant track.
There are two types of submissions for each paper
1: Extended Abstract (compulsory upon acceptance of the Abstract),
2: Full paper (optional, if the authors wish their papers to be considered for publications in the participating journals).
Deadline for Authors to Register to Attend
AT LEAST ONE author from each accepted submission must have registered to attend the ABEATS2024 by 20 November 2024. Accepted papers without AT LEAST ONE registered author will be withdrawn and will not be included in the conference proceedings and scheduled in the conference programme for presentation. After this point, withdrawn submissions will not be reinstated.
2. Expectations for Authors
Expectation to present the accepted paper(s)
The submitting author or one of the co-authors should be available to attend the ABEATS 2024 and present the accepted paper(s), either physically at the University of Glasgow or virtually.
Withdrawing Your Paper
If your paper is accepted for presentation and you later discover you cannot attend the event, please ensure you contact the ABEATS2024 organising committee at abeats@glasgow.ac.uk at the first available opportunity. Please be advised, you will be required to confirm the detailed reason for the withdrawal.
3. Submission Steps
1. Extended Abstract
Authors who wish to present a paper at ABEATS 2024 should submit an extended abstract by 15 October 2024.
The extended abstract is basically an elongated version of the abstract with additional literature and supporting references for publication as Symposium e-Proceedings, with ISBN.
Please indicate the symposium track that you would like to submit at the end of the abstract. The abstract should be submitted in the English language using the template provided below:
2. Full Paper
Once the extended abstract has been accepted, authors are required to submit their full paper using the template provided by 1 November 2024.
Page numbers of submissions are limited to 15.
All submissions must be uploaded to the ABEATS 2024 extended abstract/paper submission portal (confbay).
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
Final Upload
The final upload; the final revised version of your paper, should be uploaded to the ABEATS 2024 paper submission portal after the reviewing process by 26 November 2024. The file will be used for the international refereed journal submission.
Deadline for submission: 1 November 2024
Page numbers of submissions are limited to 15.
Please Note: Once the submission has been made on the system, authors will not be able to edit paper details such as title, author names, keywords etc. As this information will be displayed in the symposium programme & proceedings, please ensure that all information is inputted accurately on the original submission. If you need to edit any paper details after submission, please contact the ABEATS2024 organising committee at
abeats@glasgow.ac.uk
4. Review Process
The submission will be reviewed, and the Track Chair will advise you of its acceptance or rejection.
All submissions will undergo a double-blind peer review, and the Track Chair will communicate decisions on acceptance. Reviewers will consider the quality of ideas, methodology, (potential) theoretical contribution, clarity of presentation, and potential interest to other participants.
The authors of both accepted full paper and extended abstract submissions will have until 26 November to make final amendments resulting from the reviewing process and upload the final version, which will be included in the ABEATS 2024 proceedings and the International refereed journals.
5. Ethics
Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. To protect the intellectual property rights of the researchers, ABEATS 2024 strongly opposes this ruthless conduct. All authors are responsible for their submissions to ABEATS 2024.
