Academic title page (example; update to ADM24)

Content. Academic submissions must take the form of a short paper. Short papers focus on a few main ideas of your work. They should

  • explain the nature and purpose of the paper,

  • its theoretical background, the research gap,

  • the methodological approach,

  • main findings, and contributions. 

Copyrights remain with authors at all times. This allows for the submission of your most recent work (in progress) and to get feedback on your new ideas!

Format your paper your way. Your submission should comprise approximately 5-8 pages (i.e., 3,000-4,000 words). Except for page limitations, we adhere to the “Your-Paper-Your-Way” formatting philosophy. Please be reasonable and consider your readers! To handle the inflow of submissions, please do not forget to include the following information on the separate title page (see specimen to the right).

We supply conference attendees with a book of abstracts . To include your work, you must submit your abstract using the following  template.

IMPORTANT

We ask you to submit 3 files via email to adm@hslu.ch:

  1. your abstract in our template;

  2. your short paper without identifiers for review; and

  3. your title page.

(Note: You get to the template by clicking the word “template” or “abstract” highlighted in bold green font.)

Submission. For the purpose of double-blind review, please make sure you eliminate all identifiers from your manuscript. Submission period ends Monday, January 31, 2024, 08:00:00 (CET).
