How review works

You submit your abstract and receive a reference number and a private author page.
Members of the scientific committee review it (single blind). Reviewers with a conflict of interest step aside.
You receive the decision by email, with the reviewers' comments and, if accepted, a formal Letter of Acceptance for funding applications. Normally within 10 working days, and in all cases by 16 June 2027.
Accepted authors register. Authors who wish to publish upload the full paper (in English, up to 8,000 words) from their author page by 16 August 2027, well before the conference. Full papers are reviewed again, and the proceedings are published by Emanate about one month after the conference, in November 2027.

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. Research with human participants must have appropriate ethical approval. Use of generative AI must be disclosed, as set out in our AI policy.
