Submitted papers (until 12-page limit) must comply with the format rules available at Instructions for Authors, be written in English, Spanish or Portuguese, must not have been published before, not be under review for any other conference or publication and not include any information leading to the authors’ identification. Therefore, the authors’ names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not be included in the version for evaluation by the Scientific Committee. This information should only be included in the camera-ready version, saved in Word (or Latex format) and also in PDF format. These files must be in a ZIP file, and this one uploaded at the conference management system.
All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least two members of the Scientific Committee.
Based on Scientific Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by the Conference Chairs. In the later case, it can be accepted as paper or poster. Papers accepted as posters are not published.
The authors of accepted papers will have 15 minutes to present their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation.
The authors of papers accepted as posters must build and print a poster to be exhibited during the Conference. This poster must follow an A1 or A2 vertical format. The Conference can include Work Sessions where these posters are presented and orally discussed, with a 7 minute limit per poster.
Publication and Indexing
To ensure that a paper accepted is published and presented, at least one of the authors must be fully registered by the 27th of July 2025, and the paper must comply with the suggested layout and page-limit. Additionally, all recommended changes must be addressed by the authors before they submit the camera-ready version.
No more than one paper per registration will be published. An extra fee must be paid for publication of additional papers, with a maximum of one additional paper per registration. One registration permits only the participation of one author in the conference.
Papers written in English, accepted and registered will be published in Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics and submitted for indexation by Scopus, WoS, Google Scholar, among others.
