Guidance
Preparing your abstract
Abstracts run 300–500 words, structured as context, methods, findings and implications. Submit as PDF in English, without author names, affiliations or acknowledgements anywhere in the file. Nominate one track and up to three keywords. Referencing follows APA 7.
Review and ethics
Each submission is read double-blind by three committee members and scored on originality, rigour, clarity and relevance to the track. Work must be unpublished and not under review elsewhere. Generative tools may support drafting but must be disclosed; authorship remains human. Data and code availability statements are required for empirical papers.
