Subject: [Air-L] Submission deadline for IR 10.0 extended, plus author info


Dear all, 
 
We are working hard on setting up the new OCS conference system for the forthcoming IR 10.0 Internet:Critical conference in Milwaukee but will not be able to launch it until January 26 (which will be the earliest date to submit a proposal). Due to this, the CFP deadline will be extended until February 16 (which again means that notifications of acceptance will arrive end of March). I do realize that this long a wait with the submissions can be frustrating but we want to be sure that everything really works before the launch. We do appreciate your patience. 
 
Please note that in order to submit a proposal, one will need to create an account with the OCS conference system since old logins and passwords will not be carried over. Guidelines on how to do this will be available once the system is up and running (and linked through the conference web site, http://ir10.aoir.org/). Meanwhile, I'm attaching below the guidelines for submitting papers, panels, and roundtables to help with the preparations. In case you have any further questions or queries concerning these, or conference submissions in general, please do not hesitate to contact me. 
 
with best regards, 
Susanna 
 
Author guidelines: 
 
* PAPERS (individual or multi-author) - submit abstract of 600-800 words 
The abstract should indicate your methodological and theoretical framework 


* FULL PAPERS (OPTIONAL): For submitters requiring peer review of full papers, manuscripts of up to 8,000 words will be accepted for review. These will be reviewed and judged separately from abstract submissions 
Please be sure that all identifying information is removed from the paper as well as its metadata 
Papers need to be in either ".doc" or ".pdf" format only (NOT ".docx") 
 
* PANEL PROPOSALS - submit a 600-800 word description of the panel theme, plus 250-500 word abstract for each paper or presentation 
Please be sure to remove names of individual panel presenters in the body of the proposal, to ensure blind peer review 
 
* ROUNDTABLE PROPOSALS - submit a statement indicating the nature of the roundtable discussion and interaction 
Please be sure to remove names of individual roundtable participants in the body of the proposal, to ensure blind peer review 
 
Papers, presentations and panels will be selected from the submitted proposals on the basis of multiple blind peer review, coordinated and overseen by the Program Chair. Each individual is invited to submit a proposal for 1 paper or 1 presentation. A person may also propose a panel session, which may include a second paper that they are presenting. An individual may also submit a roundtable proposal. You may be listed as co-author on additional papers as long as you are not presenting them. 
 
Full papers should not exceed 8,000 words in length. If your word-processor is capable of doing a word c
ount please use it to print this at the end of the text, together with the date of the manuscript. 
Notes should be kept to a minimum and placed at the end of the article before the references; footnotes should be avoided. 
Illustrations: Tables, figures and plates should not be inserted within the pages of the manuscript but should be submitted on separate pages attached to the article. 
References: please use the reference/format system most appropriate for your discipline (APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, etc.)
