General Policies and Requirements
All papers submitted for presentation at the ANZAM Conference must contain original research that has not been previously presented or scheduled for presentation, published or accepted for publication, and if under review, must not appear in print before the Conference.
Acknowledgement of relevant prior research and sources of works, ideas and data is expected. Authorship and credit should be shared in proportion to the various parties' contributions. Note, authorship of papers needs to be correct when the paper is submitted as changes cannot be made once the paper is accepted for publication in the Conference program and proceedings.
A paper can only be presented in one stream of the Conference. Authors are asked to signal their preferred stream(s) from the ANZAM Conference Stream list, as well as up to 6 keywords describing the content of their research. The list of keywords can be found here and on the paper submission site after selecting your preferred Conference Stream - please use at least four of these keywords for your submission to assist us in assigning appropriate reviewers for your manuscript.
At least one author for each paper that is accepted for presentation in the Conference Program is expected to register and pay to attend the Conference to present their research. All of the costs to attend the Conference, including the registration fee, must be paid by presenters. ANZAM does not pay honoraria for any presentations.
An individual can appear in up to three sessions of the refereed scholarly Conference Program (as presenter, co-author, session chair or facilitator). This is to encourage greater participation and to avoid individuals appearing to dominate a stream or segment of the Conference Program.
Presenters of papers will have 15 minute timeslots, plus 5 minutes for discussion. Research Symposia and Workshops will be allocated 90 minute timeslots.
During the Conference, a climate of free exchange and constructive criticism is encouraged. It is also important to demonstrate respect for colleagues/presenters with different perspectives and methodologies/methods.
For those presenting their paper in poster format, it is expected that one of the presenting authors be present at their poster during break times to discuss their research with fellow delegates.
NOTE TO AUTHORS
Each presenting author will be required to register and pay for the Conference by the author registration deadline to ensure their paper(s) are included in the final program. Authors who do not register by the deadline will be removed from the Conference Program. All costs to attend the Conference, including the registration fee, must be met by presenters. All Conference Papers accepted for the ANZAM Conference Program are made available to delegates in the Conference proceedings presented in a CD format. However the lead author can choose to ‘opt out’ of having their full paper published in the Conference proceedings. Please refer to the ‘Opt Out’ section below for further details.
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. Please note that the copyright of the Conference proceedings belongs to ANZAM, but the copyright of the individual papers belongs to the authors.
Opt Out Option
The recent ARC-driven 'Excellence for Research in Australia' (ERA) initiative has highlighted the relative importance of research publications in ranked journals compared with unranked journals or Conference Proceedings Publications. In order to provide lead authors with some flexibility around this issue, the submission system for the ANZAM Conference will include an option that allows lead authors to 'opt out' of having their full paper(s) included in the Conference Proceedings. If you select this option, only the abstract of your successful submission will be included in the proceedings. Paper submission and refereeing/revision processes will remain unchanged. This option may also be of interest to submitters concerned that publication of a full Conference Paper may preclude publication in some journals, particularly those that publish relatively short papers. However should you select the ‘opt out ‘option and your paper be nominated/selected for an award by the ANZAM reviewing committee you will be requested to make a copy of the full paper available on the ANZAM ‘members only’ website for a limited time. In such cases the Conference Chair will be in contact with you as no ‘opt out’ papers can be nominated for the award.
Paper & Poster Guidelines
Original research papers, which may be theoretical, empirical, literature reviews, or case studies, aligned with the Conference theme, 'The Future of Work and Organisations'’Managing for Volatility and Uncertainty’, and ANZAM's research streams/tracks, are invited. See above for Conference Streams.
Conference Papers should be prepared as a Microsoft Word document and conform to the editorial guidelines and formatting specified for ANZAM Conference Papers.
