Paper Length

Short Papers: The paper should be 4-6 pages in total length. Papers submitted (draft or camera ready) should not include page numbers. Tables and figures must be placed in the body of the paper close to where they are being referred to within the body of the text.

Full Papers: The paper should be 7-20 pages in total length. Papers submitted (draft or camera ready) should not include page numbers. Tables and figures must be placed in the body of the paper close to where they are being referred to within the body of the text.

Anonymity

All papers are subject to a double-blind peer-review process (two reviewers will assess the paper and neither should be able to identify the author of the manuscript submitted). Authors are requested to facilitate this process in their draft submissions. Draft papers submitted should not include author details (names, affiliations or e-mails). Before submission, authors should inspect their documents and remove any personal information which may have been embedded through the authoring word processor. Please refer to the ETA 2012 Paper Template document (Word doc format) for more information about anonymising your paper.

Review Criteria

This conference welcomes quality authored (original) submissions addressing a diverse range of topics relevant to eye movement research, its co-registration with EEG recording, and its application in a variety of disciplines in Australasia and world-wide. Review papers are gratefully accepted as well as research papers. Manuscripts are expected to meet the following review criteria:

Relevance to the field: clearly state the research questions or propositions pursued and their significance within the eye movement research field;
Contribution: situate the research within relevant bodies of knowledge (literature) and describe how the research contributes to new knowledge in those areas;
Innovation in methodology and methods: describe the research design and methods employed, including important considerations or innovations;
Results: present original ideas or results of general significance supported by clear reasoning and compelling evidence; and
Readability: employ clear and precise language suitable to a broad international readership.

Submission Pre-Requisites

To help increase the likelihood of your paper being accepted into the conference proceedings, please note the following:

Papers must be original contributions which are not being considered for publication elsewhere;
Papers submitted are assumed to contain no third-party copyright content;
By submitting papers, authors give consent for their papers and authorship details (for all authors of a paper) to feature in the conference proceedings in printed and digital formats;
Where reviewers make recommendations for improvement of the draft submission, the revised (camera ready) version of the (draft) paper should adequately address reviewer comments. Where this has not been done to the satisfaction of the Conference Committee the paper may not be accepted at the conference; and
Each paper will need at least one author to be registered to attend the conference. Where this paid conference registration is incomplete by the (registration) closure date, papers will not be included into the conference proceedings.
Authors submitting papers to the EEG and Eye Movement Co-Registration Symposium, held as part of this conference, should indicate this preference in their submission email.

Paper Formatting

All paper submissions should use the styles embedded in the ETA 2012 Paper Template.
