Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
• The text is single-spaced; 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.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
• Include the author name(s) and 50-word bio(s) in the OCS at the time of submission (add an author during metadata step).
• All authors agree that if accepted, they will register, pay and attend the conference to present their work at the designated time.
• The proposed title is no more than 70 characters in length. Titles that surpass 70 characters may be changed at the discretion of the conference committee, without notification to the author(s).
• For peer review purposes, authors’ institution names and cities are removed from the submission file, with “University” and “City” used instead.

  (e.g., workshop, panel discussion, research

  audience participation and interaction.
