FULL PAPERS

Full papers should report on substantial and original, unpublished research that advances PD. Full papers are presented on single-track sessions in the only research conference exclusively dedicated to PD, therefore PDC full research papers have a broad impact on the development of PD theory, approaches and practices. Do take note of the theme of this edition!

Submissions and Review Process

There are 3 deadlines:

  • The 1st deadline is on September 1, when authors are required to submit their papers through the submission systems.On November 1, authors will be notified: either of the rejection of their paper or they will be invited to improve their paper and resubmit it by December 1st (for a second round of reviews). Papers invited to resubmit should be revised according to the given suggestions. Note that an invitation to ‘revise & resubmit’ is not a promise or guarantee of acceptance.

  • The 2nd deadline is December 1, when selected authors will resubmit the improved version of their papers.  Final acceptance will be comminicated on February 15. In the selection process, when papers rank equally, we will give preference to those that best address the theme of the conference.

Papers must present unpublished research and are not allowed to be under concurrent review with other conferences, journals, or venues.
