PAPER GUIDELINES

Original research papers, which may be theoretical, empirical, literature reviews, or case studies, aligned with the conference theme and ANZAM's research streams, are invited. See ANZAM 2008 Call for Papers.

Conference Papers should be prepared as a Microsoft Word document and conform to the editorial guidelines and formatting specified for ANZAM Conference Papers.

The page limit for papers is twelve (12) A4 pages, with 2.54cm (1" margins), double spaced text, 11-point Times New Roman font. Note, page limits do not include references/bibliography, Tables and Figures (which are placed at the end of the document in keeping with JMO Guidelines), or the cover page with author details. 

All Conference Papers will be refereed using a double-blind peer review process. The review criteria include:

• Significance/importance of the topic
• Conceptual foundation/relevant literature
• Research questions*, aims and objectives
• Methodology*
• Quality of analysis/coherence of argument
• Relevance of findings for theory/policy/practice
• Clarity/readability
• Overall evaluation (including contribution)

All Conference Papers accepted for the ANZAM conference programme are made available to delegates in the Conference Proceedings which is presented in a CD format. The Conference Proceedings has an ISBN number and indicates clearly that all refereed papers were double-blind peer reviewed. In addition, a printed conference summary will report titles, authors and abstracts for refereed conference papers and posters, as well as panels and symposia.
