Education, Business & Behavioral Sciences Research Conference Registration

​You are paying for registration to a professional development conference.  ALL attendees (whether presenting or not) must pay the registration fee and at least one author per paper must attend the conference.  Authors not present at the conference will not be listed as presenters but will be listed in the conference proceedings.  Note...your conference registration fee is for conference attendance.  Along with your conference attendance, you are provided with a presentation slot.  All conference submissions are peer reviewed. ​

Style Guidelines:
Include the following information for EACH author presentation proposal submission: name, institute affiliation, brief biography (100-word maximum), mailing address, email address, and a brief presentation abstract. 

The conference registration fee includes publication of up to 25 pages of a complete paper in the conference proceedings. The complete paper must be received by March 15, 2018 for inclusion. If it is not received by this date, CSI will print the abstract only.  Please note, that although the presentation abstract was peer reviewed, the full papers submitted for the proceedings generally are not.  This submission should not be confused with journal publication.  That is a separate and distinct process.  For information regarding refereed journal publication, please visit the journal pages on our website.

Submission Guidelines:
Submit the prospectus/abstract or complete manuscript via file upload during registration. If you require an advanced review of a presentation proposal prior to registration, please submit for ADVANCED REVIEW.

To be eligible for a Best Paper Award, presenters must submit a completed paper to the Center for Scholastic Inquiry for review prior to March 15, 2018. 

Please indicate the specific conference track (education, business or behavioral sciences) for which the paper is being submitted.

All materials to be included in the conference proceedings must be received by April 15, 2018. For submissions after April 15, 2018, please contact the Center for Scholastic Inquiry directly to make arrangements for inclusion in the proceedings.  We will do our best to include later submissions whenever possible. 

Acceptance:
CSI will email a notification of acceptance or declination of proposals/abstracts and/or complete papers within one week of receipt.  All initial acceptances are "informal" and will be accompanied by additional conference and registration-specific details.  Upon formalization of your presentation, you will receive a "formal" acceptance letter via email.  You are not fully accepted and subsequently not part of the conference presentation schedule until you receive a "formal" acceptance letter.  Proposals/abstracts that are declined may be revised and resubmitted for consideration. All submitted proposal abstracts are peer reviewed.   Presented work will be published in our conference proceedings (unless otherwise requested).
