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.

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 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.

Presentation Formats

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