Each submission will be reviewed for technical merit and content. Once abstracts are accepted for presentation at the Congress, the corresponding authors would be invited to submit their full papers written in English only. Papers accepted for presentation will appear in the Conference Proceedings provided at least one author of each paper registers to attend the Congress.

The Screening/Reviewing process

There are Oral and Poster presentations at the Congress. Invited/intended authors can indicate their preferred mode of presentation for each full paper submission. The indication of presentation preference (Oral or/and Poster) can be made in the returned Abstract Submission Form(s).

In accordance with ANQ’s screening/reviewing process, the Program Committee will review all submitted abstracts by taking into consideration their originality and relevance to the theme of the Congress. Decisions made after the review process can be one of the following:

1. ‘Accepted for oral presentation’,
2. ‘Accepted for poster presentation’, or
3. ‘Rejected’.

Notification of Abstract Acceptance will be made to the respective authors by March 15, 2012.
