Each panel will consist of a minimum of 4 communications and a maximum of 6 (including that of the panel coordinator) on a common theme. In total, the panel will have a maximum duration of two hours: this is, in a panel of six people, for example, fifteen minutes would be available for each speaker, and 30 minutes for general debate.

PANELS WHO WISH TO DO SO MAY HAVE A DISCUSSANT (PROFESSIONAL EXPERT IN THE SUBJECT OF THE PANEL, WHO WILL COMMENT ON THE PRESENTATIONS OF THE PANELISTS).

THE PANEL COORDINATOR WILL INCLUDE THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO WILL PERFORM THIS FUNCTION AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION.

THE DISCUSSANT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PRESENT A COMMUNICATION IN THE PANEL IN WHICH HE/SHE ACTS AS DISCUSSANT, AND WILL HAVE TO REGISTER IN THE CONFERENCE AS DELEGATE. HE/SHE WILL BE ABLE TO PRESENT A COMMUNICATION IN ANY OTHER PANELS.

The person who coordinates the panel (only one person will be the coordinator for each panel), will be responsible for entering the panel details on the registration form, namely: a title, a summary of a minimum 175 words and a maximum of 250 words, 3 to 5 keywords, and the names of all panelists (please do NOT include all co-authors for each individual communication in the authors section, only the main author presenting, and registering, each communication). References to authorship in the abstract field will not be accepted. The proposal and the possibility of resubmission will be eliminated if this occurs. Likewise, self-citing or citing projects on which you are working and are identifiable will also make the proposal unfit for evaluation.

References to authorship will not be accepted in the abstract field. If this occurs, the proposal will be eliminated and cannot be resubmitted. Similarly, self-citation or citation of identifiable projects currently in progress will also render the proposal ineligible for evaluation. In order to facilitate the distribution of panels for evaluation by the Scientific Committee, it will be necessary to select from a list of thematic options (drop-down menu in the communication registration form) the one that is most relevant to the panel presented.

Once the panel has been registered, each of the main authors who make up the panel (including the coordinator if they are also going to present) must register their proposal using the paper submission form (read the Rules for paper submission), indicating, in addition to their personal details, the theme of the panel (select from the drop-down menu) and the name of the panel (select from the drop-down menu). Please note that it may take several hours for the panel title to appear in the drop-down menu once it has been registered by the coordinator, so it is advisable to wait a reasonable amount of time (at most one working day) before panelists register their papers.

It is very important that all panelists are fully aware of the title of the panel, as well as the theme indicated by the coordinator when registering it, as each panelist must include this information when registering their own communication related to the panel.

In the event that panels composed of four or five people are presented, after the evaluation period has ended, the Organization may request that the coordinators of these panels include a paper on the same topic as the panel, until the six components are complete. Such papers will only be included if the panel coordinators agree to this. This will always be done at the request of the Conference Organization, never at the request of the authors of free papers.

OPEN COMMUNICATIONS (NOT part of a registered panel) and COMMUNICATIONS INTEGRATED IN A PANEL (registered panels)

The author will submit the proposal through the communications registration form available on the website. The proposal will include a title and an abstract of a minimum of 175 and a maximum of 250 words, as well as 3-5 keywords. References to authorship in the abstract field will not be accepted. The proposal and the possibility of resubmission will be eliminated if this occurs. Likewise, self-citing or citing projects on which you are working and which can be easily identifiable will also make the proposal unfit for evaluation.

In the case of communications integrated in a panel, the name of the first author of the communication must be written in the box “First Author” in the form, and it must match the author’s name that appears in the panel previously registered by the coordinator. Next, please write the names of the coauthor(s), if any (maximum of five).

The coauthors of the communication do not have to register the communication. It will only be registered once by the main author. Coauthors should only make the payment of their conference registration to attend the Conference.

It will also be necessary to select from a list of theme options (select from drop-down menu in the submission form) the one that is most akin to the proposal presented. In the case of communications integrated in panels, you should consult with your coordinator what is the topic they registered for the panel, so that they match.

The duration of each individual communication will be a maximum of 15 minutes. Exceptionally, and in the case of panels with less than six participants, the duration of each presentation may be somewhat longer, at the discretion of the coordinator. Communications will be presented by one person ONLY. By default, the Organization will take the person who has registered it as the presenter of the proposal, any news in this regard must be communicated by email to the Conference Organization.

Authors may use PowerPoint or other audiovisual presentation resources for the delivery of their communication.

The Organization of the Conference will distribute accepted open communications (not yet included in a panel) in thematic panels and may request one of the panelists to act as moderator of the panel. This request does not entail any kind of commitment on the part of the people consulted, who may or may not accept to act as moderators according to their interests.

The author will register the proposal through the registration form on the website, indicating that it is an audiovisual, and presenting a title and a summary/SYNOPSIS with a minimum of 175 and a maximum of 250 words, as well as 3-5 keywords. It will also be necessary to select from a list of theme options (in the drop-down menu) the one that is most akin to the proposal presented. 

It is essential to send the complete audiovisual file ready for viewing by the deadline set by the Organization. The file can be sent via the usual platforms (WeTransfer, etc.) to the email info.congreso@aibr.org.

– The minimum duration of the audiovisuals will be 10 minutes, and the maximum duration will be 100 minutes. The exact duration of the proposal must be indicated in the abstract.

– Audiovisuals in all languages will be accepted, as long as they are subtitled, at least, in Spanish.

The author will register the proposal through the registration form for individual proposals on the website, indicating that it is a poster, and presenting a title and a summary with a minimum of 175 and a maximum of 250 words, as well as 3-5 keywords.

References to authorship in the abstract field will not be accepted. The proposal and the possibility of resubmission will be eliminated if this occurs. Likewise, self-citing or citing projects on which you are working and are identifiable will also make the proposal unviable for evaluation. It will also be necessary to select from a list of theme options (drop-down menu in the registration form) the one that is most akin to the proposal presented.

When registering the proposal and submitting the abstract, an email with a PDF file with the poster attached must be sent to info.congreso@aibr.org  without any reference to the author(s) data.

The size of the posters for their exhibition will be DIN-A1, and they can be of vertical or horizontal orientation. The delegate will be responsible for the printing and transportation of the posters, delivering them to the Conference Secretariat on the day of their arrival in case of attending in person. We recommend an emphasis on the visual aspects of the poster, and a maximum of 800 words for the body of the poster.

Posters accepted will be exhibited for the whole duration of the AIBR Conference. Besides, there will be specific moments in which the authors should remain close to their work to be able to explain their research to the interested public. These informative times will be determined by the author of the poster, and they will indicate them in a note that should be placed next to their poster.

At the end of the Congress, the authors will remove their posters. If they do not do so, the Congress is not responsible for their fate.

In the event that the 12th Congress should be held exclusively online, the posters will be exhibited and presented by their authors in virtual rooms.

The authors also should specify if they have any special needs (e.g. the classroom layout, audio, etc.).

If the author considers that the workshop will last longer than two hours, the Organization should be informed in the abstract of the proposal, and the possibility of splitting it into two sessions will be evaluated, to make it fit into the Conference schedule.
