1. Preliminary Paper submission (for review and acceptance in the conference)
A preliminary paper presents a work where the research is completed but it needs to be evaluated by our reviewers before being accepted at EIRP 2012. It may be accepted as a "full paper", a "short paper", a "poster" or as a "student paper".
The blind evaluation method will be used (four reviewers for each paper). To facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the paper, WITHOUT any reference to any of the authors. This means that is necessary to remove the authors’ personal details, the acknowledgements section and any reference that may disclose the authors’ identity. Only DOC/DOCX file format is accepted.
The online submission procedure automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author. The authors are required to follow the reviews in order to improve their papers.
2. Final Paper (Camera-ready) submission (for publishing)
After the preliminary paper reviewing process is completed, the contact author (the author who submitted the paper) of each paper will be notified of the result, by e-mail. The authors are required to follow the reviews in order to improve their paper if necessary and to submit the final paper with all the information about all its authors, before April 22nd, 2012.
To upload your final paper, simply log in to the your EIRP site account with your username and password. Once you have logged in to the EIRP site, click on “Author” (under the “7th International Conference on European Integration - Realities and Perspectives”), then click on “Archive”, click on the title of your submission, click on “Summary” and click on “Add a Supplementary File”.
