Main Conference Period

 

The Conference Committee invites contributions from systems thinkers, whether academic or practitioners. Contributions can be in the form of full papers (and accompanying presentation), posters, practitioner presentations or proposals to organise a pre-event workshop.
 
For the Main Conference, full papers are invited addressing the conference theme and reports of on-going developments in systems research and practice. All full paper submissions will be peer-reviewed (for academic works) or editorially reviewed (for accounts of systems practice). A small number of high-quality papers will be selected for an edition of the Systemist, to be published following the conference. Eligibility for publication in this special issue will depend upon at least one of the authors registering for and attending the conference.
 
Contributors who do not wish to submit full papers can consider submitting posters. Posters will be displayed at special sessions during the conference.
 
For the Practitioners Day, participation from the practitioner community is welcomed through attendance, posters and/or presentations. Submission of a full paper is optional for this day.
 
Submission guidelines:

Papers should be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format using Times New Roman typeface and 12pt size. Major headings should be 14pt size. All figures and tables must be supplied in camera-ready format, within text and in a form that will still be legible if reduced by up to 50%. Papers should conform to the Harvard referencing standard to a maximum of one side of A4. A title page must be provided and should include the title of the paper, author name(s), affiliation, address and abstract of 100-150 words with a maximum of 5 relevant key words. Submission is via email to submissions@ukss.org.uk, or  submit a paper via EasyChair.
