Call for Papers
If my abstract is accepted to the conference, what date is the full paper due?
The conference does not involve submission of papers. We accept or reject proposals on the basis of the abstract. Presentations are either oral (individual or symposia) or poster. For oral, we assume presenters will make use of PowerPoint slides.
Will my paper be double-blind peer refereed?
No. Please See above.
Will it be published in Family Matters or as a conference paper?
We encourage all conference speakers (or poster presenters) to submit written papers to our flagship journal Family Matters. This can be done at any stage, and has a completely separate submission and review process, and papers need to comply with the Family Matter submission guidelines outlined on our website.
