Authors should submit an original paper in English, French or Russian, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, using the conference site’s online submission procedure. The title, abstract, key words and bibliography must be in English, regardless of the language of the article.
Papers that are out of the conference’s scope or contain any form of plagiarism will be rejected without being reviewed.
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 DAIE 2012. It may be accepted as a "full paper" or a "short paper".
A "double-blind" paper evaluation method will be used. 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 1st of June, 2012.
To upload your final paper, simply log in to your DAIE site account with your username and password. Once you have logged in to the DAIE site, click on “Author” (under the “2nd Edition of the International Conference Danube - Axis of European Identity”), then click on “Archive”, click on the title of your submission, click on “Summary” and click on “Add a Supplementary File”. Upload your paper and do not forget to click on “SAVE” button at the end.
3. Registration of participation
