Notification of acceptance of abstracts： June 30, 2026

Presentations

Presentation of accepted full papers will be in both oral sessions and a poster session. The decision on whether a presentation for a full paper will be oral and/or poster will be made by the organizing committee on the advice of the APCLA steering committee, taking into account the subject matter and how the content might be best conveyed. Oral and poster presentations will not be distinguished in the Proceedings.

Registration, Presentation and Publication Policy

At least one author of each accepted contribution must register for the conference and present the work at APCLC2026.
Each accepted contribution requires its own registration; a single registration cannot be used to cover multiple accepted contributions. Authors who are the sole author of multiple accepted contributions should contact the Organizing Committee regarding registration arrangements.


At least one author of each accepted contribution must complete conference registration by the deadline for full-paper submission (10 August 2026). Contributions for which no author has registered by that date will be withdrawn from the conference programme and the acceptance will be cancelled.

Submissions

Abstracts for oral and poster presentations should be submitted via the SMART Conference system.
The language of the conference is English.
All submissions must be anonymous and will be peer-reviewed by the local organizing committee on the advice of the APCLA steering committee.
  • Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words (not including the list of references).
  • Abstracts for oral presentations should report on the background, research questions, data, methods, results, and implications of the research, as appropriate to the nature of the paper.

Proceedings

The APCLC2026 Proceedings will be published electronically on the conference website. Individual papers and abstracts will be accessible through the online conference program.

Authors of accepted abstracts are invited to submit a camera-ready paper for inclusion in the APCLC2026 Proceedings. Camera-ready papers should be revised and expanded versions of the accepted abstracts and should follow the APCLC Full Paper Format. Papers may be between 3 and 9 pages in length, excluding references.
If no camera-ready paper is submitted, or if the submission is shorter than 3 pages, the accepted abstract will be included in the Proceedings instead.

Presentation Formats

Oral Presentations are 30 minutes total: 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions.

Posters may present work in progress, research summaries, or technologies and approaches that benefit from the poster format. We recommend printing posters in portrait A0 size. Posters will be displayed throughout the conference, and presenters will have dedicated sessions to discuss their work.
