Attendance and presentation of at least one author is mandatory for abstract inclusion in the conference proceedings.
The Conference proceedings have an DOI and clearly indicate that all refereed submissions were double-blind peer reviewed. Please note that the copyright of the Conference proceedings belongs to MMIRA2026, while the copyright of the individual submissions belongs to the authors.
General Policies and Requirements
- All submissions for presentation at #MMIRA2026 must contain original research that has not been previously presented or scheduled for presentation, published or accepted for publication, and, if under review, must not appear in print before the conference.
- Acknowledgement of relevant prior research and sources of works, ideas and data is expected.
- Authorship and credit should be shared in proportion to the various parties’ contributions. Note: The authorship of submissions must be correct when submitted, as changes cannot be made once the submission is accepted for publication in the Conference program and proceedings.
- A submission can only be presented in one Conference Theme. Authors are asked to signal their preferred and secondary Conference Theme.
- On the left on its title page and the first page of the (anonymous) main text, each submission must state the requested Theme (number and name).
- At least one author of each submission accepted for presentation in the Conference program must register for the conference to present their research.
- An individual can appear in up to three sessions of the refereed conference (as presenter, co-author, session chair or facilitator). This is to encourage greater participation and to avoid individuals appearing to dominate a Theme or segment of the Conference program.
- During the conference, a climate of free exchange and constructive feedback is encouraged. It is also important to demonstrate respect for colleagues/presenters with different perspectives and methodologies/methods.
