Abstracts should be between 300 & 400 words (including references) and should be written in English. No abstracts will be accepted beyond the world limit and the deadline. Abstracts must address original research. Writings must be of reasonable quality in terms of English grammar and should clearly state the purpose and the methodology of research. Submissions will be blind-refereed by two anonymous reviewers who will decide if a paper will be requested based on an abstract. However, acceptance of an abstract does not guarantee acceptance of a final paper. Once the abstract is accepted, the author(s) will be provided with specific guidelines for submission of a full paper. All full papers submitted will be subject to review by at least two anonymous referees, with expertise in the content area, who will decide if the final paper will be accepted.
