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

[Susanna Paasonen]

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 count 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.)
