 Submission

To contribute to RACT2015, please submit a maximum 1000 word extended abstract prepared for blind review as a PDF file at this site (you may need to create an EasyChair account), along with a short abstract of max. 1000 characters and keywords (which assist in assigning reviewers), and separate author details on or before August 30th, midnight local time, Lund, Sweden.

Abstract Conventions

  • Paper size A4, 3 cm margins,12 point font-size, Times New Roman, double spaced, pages numbers.
  • Include a title, don’t use footnotes, providing references in-line, e.g., ‘as Smith (2014) argues, … ‘
  • Key-references are required, and do not count toward the word limit.
  • Blind all references to author-identity, writing ‘DELETED’ instead.

Review Process

RACT2015, whose official language is English, addresses aninterdisciplinary audience; abstract selection relies on international reviewers from various disciplines. Authors should avoid, or explain, discipline-specific jargon whenever possible.

Three reviewers will independently assign to each abstract a point score indicating its quality and the reviewer’s confidence (low: 1, high 7); they may or may not give specific comments. Abstracts are ranked according to the weighted-average of both scores. The top 36 papers are to be invited by SEPT 30, 2015; authors are requested to confirm within two weeks, after which abstracts ranked next may be invited.
