Submission Options
Full Paper Submissions
- Authors of accepted abstracts for full paper submissions will submit their full papers for review and comments by the International Scientific Committee for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. The Conference Proceedings will be an edited document with an ISBN number and will require the authors of the papers to transfer copyright to the PHRC for its publication.
Presentation Only & Poster Only
- Submissions Rather than full papers, authors of accepted abstracts for PowerPoint presentations only or Poster only submissions must submit their PowerPoint presentation or Poster by the deadline listed below for distribution at the conference. However, these submissions will not be considered as part of the Conference Proceedings but will later be made available on the PHRC website.
Delivery Options
At the time of abstract submission, submitters will indicate which submission and delivery options (listed below) that they would prefer. All conference submission materials will be received through EasyChair conference management software.
- Presentations: Those accepted to deliver their submissions via Presentation will have 20-30 minutes for a PowerPoint presentation on their paper and must bring their presentation to the conference on a USB flash drive.
- Posters: Those accepted to deliver their submissions via a Poster must bring their printed poster with them to the conference. Mounting will be provided at the conference.
- Proceedings Only: Authors may choose the Proceedings Only option to include their paper in the Conference Proceedings. This option does not include a Presentation or Poster and does not include admission to the conference.
