PAPER DISCUSSION GUIDELINES

Just a reminder that full papers are due by May 15, 2009. Completed papers not received by this date may be removed from the conference program lineup and your acceptance for this format will be rescinded. You MAY still be able to present in another format, but that cannot be guaranteed.

Please email your final paper for review to iut@uwf.edu. Please see the guidelines below for more information on the format.

The IUT committee will coordinate related papers into 90-minute panel discussions centered around a common theme. At the beginning of each session, panelists summarize their work in 5-8 minutes. The moderator will ask panelists to comment on a fellow panelist work, so we require panelists read the papers of their fellow panelists to facillitate discussion. The remaining time is reserved for discussion among the panelists and audience.

We strongly discourage “lecture” presentations to facilitate the learning-centered themes of the conference. We assume that session attendees will have read the papers for the conference sessions they plan to attend.

ABSTRACT AND MANUSCRIPT FORMAT REQUIREMENTS / CHECKLIST:

To facilitate easier processing, reviewing, and publishing all submissions, PLEASE follow this checklist:

  • 12-point Times New Roman font.

  • Single-spacing throughout the document.

  • Double space (instead of indent) to designate a new paragraph or section.

  • Page numbers at the bottom center of each page.

  • Top, bottom, and side margins no less than 7/8 of an inch or 2.2 cm.

  • Cover page that includes title, authors, their affiliations, their contact information, and the topic of the submission.

  • Title, authors and affiliations repeated at the beginning of the body of the paper.

  • Titles do not exceed ten words.

  • Abstract summation of paper does not exceed 75 words.

  • Manuscript not to exceed 5000 words. Manuscripts longer than 5,000 words will be returned for editing.

  • Graphs and visuals can be reproduced electronically.

  • Include a two sentence summary to be published in the conference program.

Remember, the closer your paper adheres to these requirements the greater the chance it will be accepted.
