At least two referees will review each paper proposal submission under a double-blind peer-review process.
LANGUAGE
The official language of the Conference will be English. All abstracts and full-length papers must be submitted in English.
FULL PAPERr (Guidelines for formatting your paper)
The papers will be published in Conference Proceedings as well as on a CD. Your paper should have a maximum length of 8 pages and be prepared according to the instructions provided. Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word or RTF file formats. All papers must be typed in Microsoft Word using Times New Roman and a 11-point font.
PAPER PRESENTATION at ICVL
Papers authors are asked to prepare the work presentation in PowerPoint/WEB, or Word/PDF. For each work they’ll have 15-20 minutes.
In the Conference room the authors will have a computer connected to Internet and a video projector.
PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
You will need to prepare some PowerPoint slides to support your presentation.
The presentation will be around 20 minutes, with 5 minutes allowed for discussion. Think in terms of the following slides:
- A title slide – Name, Title and what the paper is about
- One slide with the hypothesis you want to investigate
- 2 or 3 slides covering your current research plan
- You should not require any more than an absolute maximum of 10 slides – this would mean talking to each slide for only two minutes
- It is generally distracting to the audience to have too many slides in a short presentation
We recommend that you also bring with you a copy of the presentation on a data stick or other portable memory device.
