We ask all participants (attending in-person or online) to upload their their presentation recording (10 minutes for parallel presentations and 5 min for posters) for different important reasons and regardless of their mode of participation:
The full paper peer-reviewing process is critical for assuring the highest scientific quality of the papers accepted for publication.
At least two independent reviewers will review all submissions according to a specific field of research. The reviewers' comments will be provided to assist the authors in improving the paper's technical content, structure, and language. The reviewers and track chairs are responsible for ensuring scientific equality and high standards of the accepted papers.
Authors ensures that the submission reports on unpublished work except for any minor excerpts from other works including pre-published illustrations, tables, text quotation, etc. Such material has been cited accordingly in the current submission, and will been included upon permission from or on behalf of the rights holder in case they are protected by copyright.
Please note that participant registration for the conference does not guarantee paper publication as all papers undergo a strict peer-review process. Participant registration covers conference program and scientific functions participation and attendance, optional social events, and access to digital proceedings.
AHFE operates a peer-review process for both abstract submissions and full paper proposals with two to three independent reviewers, followed by a final acceptance/rejection decision by track chair(s) and the respective volume Editor(s). The scientific program chair is responsible for the scientific quality of the overall publication process, including acceptance decisions, approval of Volume Editors and selection of topics, and new Scientific Board members.
Full paper editorial process schedule:
Abstract Submissions: (Notification of decision 10 days on Average)
Full Paper Submissions (Optional): (Notification of decision between 30-60 days)
Final Revised Manuscript Due: (At least 45 days before the conference start)
The AHFE Conference Proceedings will be
published
in Multi-volume series. All papers presented during the conference
and accepted (based on the review process for inclusion in the
AHFE Conference Proceedings) with at least one registered author
will also be submitted for indexing. The conference proceedings
published in the series will be submitted for consideration in Web
of Science.
All presenters, regardless of the mode of presentation (verbal or poster), are invited to prepare full papers for the Conference Proceedings (Optional).
In order to provide a greater opportunity for more people to present at the Conference, each accepted paper should have a different conference registrant. However, co-authors may appear on multiple papers.
The 3rd party dedicated author and English editing services are fast, accurate, and competitively priced. All manuscripts are welcome to use our services no matter if they aim for AHFE conference proceedings or AHFE open access journal. For formatting and English editing, all manuscripts are edited by native speakers who will help to improve formatting, grammar and phrasing at any stage prior to publication. For more information please visit AHFE Author Services.
In general, the duration of each presentation should last 15 min with 2 min for discussion. The session chairs may, at their discretion, increase the time allocation to each presenter. Prepare and bring your presentation file saved in Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt), (.pptx) file format. Internet access will NOT be available in the meeting rooms.
Check in at the Session Room, preferably 30-45 minutes before your session, to submit/upload your files and to preview your presentation. If checking in the day of your session, please arrive by at least 4 hours prior to the start of your session (this refers to the session start time, not the presentation start time). Each room is equipped with a laptop PC and a projection system.
Session chairs or support team will be available to assist with the upload of your files and provide the opportunity to preview and/or edit the presentation, as necessary.
Bring a Backup: Be sure to bring a backup copy of your presentation with you to the meeting. Please note, the Scientific Program may be changed due to speakers attendance, etc.
Requirements for making posters:
All presenters, regardless of the mode of presentation (verbal or poster) are invited to prepare full papers for the Conference Proceedings (Optional). Since frequently the intent of posters is to convey late-breaking scientific news and work in progress, they will be promptly peer reviewed as they are received.
In order to submit your Poster login to the Conference Submission System
The posters will be mounted on poster boards (one poster per board) with tacks which will be available on site. The poster boards are [3 feet (height) x 4 (feet) wide OR 90 cm x 120 cm]. Presenters can mount multiple single sheets of paper, larger posters, pictures, or any printed materials on the boards. Please note that equipment needed for demonstration is the responsibility of the author. Construct the poster to include the title, the author(s), affiliation(s), and a description of the research, highlighting the major elements that are covered in the abstract. Make sure your lettering is neatly done and is large enough to be read from a distance.
Note: Inclusion of extended poster abstract in the Conference Proceedings is conditional upon registration of at least one author per poster. A different author should register for each poster demonstration.
Submission Types:
1. Parallel presentations
An abstract of about 500 words should be submitted through the AHFE website and should include a statement of the objective and significance of the proposed presentation, a description of methods, and a discussion of results. Please indicate to which Board your submission should be sent for review. In some cases when considering submissions for the parallel presentations, authors should consider whether their material may be more effectively presented in the poster/demonstration sessions.
All submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent referees from the international program boards.

2. Poster/demonstration sessions
This session has been especially designed to accommodate the presentation of late-breaking scientific and professional news, work in progress, work which can be more effectively presented via demonstration or when the author feels more comfortable presenting the material in written form or demonstrating it rather than by oral presentation. An abstract of 300 words should be submitted through the website and should include the essence of the planned presentation. Equipment needed for demonstration is the responsibility of the author.
All submitted poster abstracts will be peer-reviewed by three independent referees from the international program boards.

However, co-authors may appear on multiple posters.
3. Special interest groups (SIG)
The objective of these sessions is to bring together Conference participants to discuss a topic of common interest.
A 500 word abstract should be submitted through the web and state the objective and significance of the session, potential participants or how participants will be selected, format of session, and anticipated duration (should not exceed 2 hours unless session is divided into Part I and Part II, etc.). If you are submitting to a specific SIG, please include the session title and session chair name. Each SIG session participant should submit an abstract to receive a unique system ID number.
4.Tutorials
