Author Guidelines

Call for Papers Submission deadline: September 15, 2022.

Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted through the Conference website http://conferences.koyauniversity.org/index.php/eahn-kou/HD2023, along with applicant’s name, professional affiliation, title of paper or position, a short curriculum vitae (maximum of two pages), home and work addresses, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers.

Sessions will be composed by three to five papers, with time for dialogue and questions at the end. Each paper should be limited to a 20-minute presentation. Abstracts for session presentations should define the subject and summarize the argument to be presented in the proposed paper. The content of that paper should be the product of well-documented original research that is primarily analytical and interpretative rather than descriptive in nature.

The Organizing Committee has the prerogative to recommend changes to the abstract. The selected speakers must return edited abstracts no later November 15, 2022.

Speakers of accepted paper proposals must submit the complete text of their papers (for a 20 minute presentation) by December 15, 2022.

The Scientific Committee may suggest editorial revisions to the paper in order to satisfy the conference guidelines and will return it with comments to the speaker by January 10, 2023.

For online publication (optional), the papers will be peer reviewed in order to satisfy the publication purposes, and the scientific committee will return them with comments to the authors by March 21, 2023. Before the publication, the papers will have proofreading, and the deadline for the proofreading will be on April 25, 2023.

Speakers must complete any revisions and distribute copies of their paper to the scientific committee by May 10, 2023.

The Scientific Committee reserves the right to withhold a paper from the program if the author has refused to comply with these guidelines. It is the responsibility of the Scientific Committee to inform speakers of these guidelines.

Each speaker is expected to fund his or her own registration, travel and expenses to Erbil City and to Koya both in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. International speakers and the scientific committee will enjoy free accommodation inside Koya during the conference.
