Publication Process

As indicated previously, accepted delegates will have a peer reviewed conference publication to their name. However, following the conference delegates may have the opportunity to submit a chapter for an ebook (length 3,500-4,000 words), possibly 2 months after the conference. This chapter will reveal a fully developed understanding of their focus area given the dialogue that occurred during the conference (This chapter must be over 60% reworking). While having a similar flow to the conference papers, this chapter must be significantly different in that it must contain new research literature, interdisciplinary links to other research sources and an expanded set of findings or new perspectives. All the ebook publication details and style guide will be sent to the delegates prior to the conference. So as to avoid any sense of ‘vanity or self publishing’ an external and internal review process will be initiated.
