GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

  1. Abstracts must be submitted in English, as a primary language, and, optionally, with a translation in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Arabic or Farsi.
  2. Abstracts must not exceed 600 words in length. Abstracts failing to meet this requirement will be rejected without review. Three-to-five keywords and a reference list are required, but do not count toward the abstract length.
  3. Abstracts must include a title and describe the purpose of the proposed presentation, explain the approach used (e.g., theoretical lens, methods), describe the ideas or findings it will explore, and articulate the practical or scholarly relevance that makes it suitable for THInC2021.
  4. All the oral presentations should be made in English.

The selected abstracts will be published in a Book of Abstract to be published before the conference. Changes to submitted abstracts will not be accepted after the deadline.

ABSTRACTS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY MIDNIGHT ON March 7th, 2021.

 

ACCEPTANCE

The Scientific Committee will coordinate the process of review and assessment of all submissions. It will also make final decisions regarding the program. Any abstract previously published or presented at another national or regional meeting is not acceptable for presentation at the THInC2021. However, new aspects of the previously published or presented material may be considered. All applicants are bound by ethical rules that prohibit plagiarism in writing or oral presentations. The primary contact for each abstract will be informed of the status (accepted/rejected) of their submission on March 2021. Presenters of accepted abstracts will be advised of registration deadlines to confirm places in the program at that time.

Selected papers within the scope of the EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF TOURISM RESEARCH (Scopus, ESCI – Clarivate Analytics) (https://ejtr.vumk.eu) will be invited for potential publication in a regular issue of the journal. All the selected papers will be offered with a fast-track double-blind peer-review process.
