Three types of communications are supported: conference papers, work in progress and posters
'Paper' refers to original research work, having completed all of its phases.
'Work in progress' is considered an original work that refers to ongoing research. The works must contain the following structure: objectives, methodological aspects, and foreseeable contributions of the study.
'Poster' s considered the original research work, completed or not, in which the authors look for a different interaction with the participants in the Conference. The purpose of the poster is to encourage a person-to-person discussion about the poster's research. Authors will interact with the participants by standing next to the posters on the assigned day and schedule.
Submission can be written in Spanish or English.
All submissions are subject to a 'double-blind' review system of a single round. The evaluation will be coordinated by track chairs, who decide discrepancies between the two reviewers.
Submission Guidelines
For each submission, author should complete the form that appears here.
A single file must be sent as follows: A blind version with title and without any identification of the authors.
The submission platform will be open on February 11, 2022 and will be closed on May 2. Works sent by e-mail are not allowed.
In the case of several works signed by more than one author, there must be an additional effective registration for each of them. At least one different author per submission must attend the Conference.
Failure to follow the rules implies a rejection of the work presented.
Files will be written in Microsoft Word format (Version 2003 or higher). The images, tables, and figures must be included in the Word document in their corresponding place.
Once the communication will be accepted, the authors will request to submit the final version using the following template, available here Template. In the case of posters, the previous template will be used only in the submission for acceptance.
Peer review
The evaluation is structured by conference tracks. The authors decide the area where they want to evaluate their work, although the organizing committee may reassign the manuscript to a close area in order to optimise the work of the scientific committee.
All submissions are subject to a 'double-blind' review system of a single round. The evaluation will be coordinated by track chairs, who decide discrepancies between the two reviewers.
Once the evaluation is completed, the management system will send the final result.
