Submitting academic papers


The last submission deadline was August 06th, 2018. There was no submission fee.

The papers must be original and unpublished and be written in Portuguese, Spanish or English. They must have ten to twelve pages and follow the official template of the event. The papers must be sent by our submission form.

The academic paper evaluation process

All submitted papers will be evaluated by a blind review process. All submissions will be evaluated by at least two reviewers.

Therefore, submitted papers should not contain any information of authorship on the cover page or in the body of the text.

The evaluation process consists of the following steps:

 

  • Evaluation of adherence to the Themes of Interest and to the Code of Conduct of the Congress, conducted by the ILA18 curatorship
  • Evaluation by reviewers
  • Evaluation by Academic Committee of ILA18 to compose the final program

Papers selection criteria

  • The relevance of the themes proposed in the paper in relation to the themes of interest of the event:

Does the paper cover one or more topics of interest defined by the curatorship?

  • The familiarity with the theme and area of knowledge exposed in the paper:

Do the choices of references and research techniques adequately reflect the objectives proposed in the paper?

  • The relevance of references used (where available):

Does it have recent references been used to reflect the state-of-the-art in the topics the paper addresses?

  • Shape, style, and clarity of the paper:

Is the paper correct in terms of spelling, grammar, logical sequence, internal coherence, clarity of argument, lack of ambiguity, and scientific language?

Authors of the approved academic papers will be invited to present them at ILA18. Each approved work will receive a single free pass regardless of the number of authors. This application is not cumulative.

In order to guarantee the diversity of authors, the ILA18 curatorship may limit the choice of only one work per author if the author has more than one approved work.
