Registered participants receive a certificate of participation, and presenters also receive a certificate of presentation, each in the attendee's own name. Certificates are sent by email [conf_certificate_timing].
Submission
Submission & Registration
What does an abstract need to include?
An abstract of 150–250 words with three to five keywords, presenting the research objective, method and main findings or argument. The topic should fit the conference themes.
Do I need a full paper to present?
No. An abstract is enough for review and presentation. A full paper is needed only if you wish to be considered for the proceedings.
How is my work reviewed, and how long does it take?
Submissions receive double-blind peer review and are screened with iThenticate. You will receive the decision by email within 7–14 business days of submission.
When is my presentation confirmed?
Once your abstract is accepted and your registration and payment are complete.
How do I revise my submission or send my full paper later?
Use Update an Existing Submission and quote your original submission ID and email. If reviewers requested revisions, follow the deadline in their email. For a change you initiate yourself, check the update window shown on the page. Later full papers follow the separate full-paper deadline. Sending an update does not mean it has been accepted or applied; wait for our team's confirmation. Please do not submit the same paper again as a new submission.
Can I attend without presenting?
Yes. Register as a Listener to attend in Oxford without submitting a paper.
Can I register someone else, or several people?
Yes. Choose Someone else in the registration form. One registration covers one presenter with co-authors attending, or one listener with additional listeners. Independent presenters, virtual presenters and mixed groups each need a separate registration.
Which co-authors need to pay?
Only co-authors who attend in person pay, at the co-author fee, and each receives their own badge and certificate. Co-authors who do not attend pay nothing.
How are additional listeners charged?
Each additional listener pays the listener fee.
How do I correct my registration details or request a missing document?
Contact the conference team with the attendee's name, registration email and order/registration reference if available. Tell us which detail needs correcting or which document is missing. If someone registered on your behalf, identify the attendee separately from the booking contact. Please do not register or pay again to request a correction or another copy.
Can I use AI when preparing my submission?
For manuscript writing, generative AI may be used only to improve the language and readability of your own text. Disclose the tool, what it was used for and that the authors reviewed the output. Basic spelling, grammar, punctuation and reference-formatting checks do not need disclosure. AI cannot be listed as an author or replace original research. If AI is part of your research method, describe it in the methodology. For abstract-only submissions, use the separate disclosure field in the form, which does not count towards the word limit; full papers also include the statement immediately before the References.
