General guidelines

Papers must be submitted in English using the template provided. Academic papers should have minimum 2500 and up to 3000 words (Abstract and references excluded). All papers will undergo a double blind peer-review process. The final camera-ready version of the paper (after the reviewing process and in case of acceptance) should include all the author information. Before the reviewing process, please keep the author information anonymous. Documents that do not comply with this rule will be excluded from the evaluation process. If English is not your first language, or you are not fluent in references, we urge you to send your paper to Scribendi www.scribendi.com or a similar proof-reader before submission. We expect high standards of scholarship and clarity in terms of establishing context, explaining methodology, reporting results and exposing conclusions. If you have doubts about the format, please refer to the APA 6^th edition Manual of Style www.apastyle.org

Deadline

The deadline for the receipt of papers is May 30^th, 2019. You must submit your full paper in PDF format using this template. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings if at least one of the authors register to the conference and present the work. The publication will have an ISSN/ISBN number and a DOI reference to ensure they appear in scholarly web-searches and it will be accessible from the conference website. Additionally, a selection of 20 papers will be published after the conference in the peer-reviewed journal Dearq revistas.uniandes.edu.co/journal/dearq.
