Ethics and originality
All submissions are screened for similarity; reports above 15 percent excluding references are returned to the author. Work under review elsewhere may be presented but not published in the proceedings. Use of generative tools must be disclosed in the method section. Human-subject research requires an ethics statement.
Support
Fee waivers are available for authors from low and lower-middle income economies and for unfunded doctoral candidates — apply with the abstract. Twelve travel bursaries of £600 are awarded on academic merit and need.
