FORMATS AND REVIEW DETAILS

SAHANZ 2020 invites submissions in a range of formats on topics related to the conference theme. We encourage the presentation of work in progress that would generate and benefit from discussion in a variety of forum types and that may lead to future collaborations and/or publications amongst other outputs. We hope that international, regional, cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary enquiry and connection will be outcomes of the conference, including an outreaching to industry and community that will extend networks and linkage opportunities for the architectural history discipline.

All abstracts for Round Tables, Posters and Papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the Academic Committee.

Authors may submit proposals as sole author once per category. Authors may additionally co-author one other submission.

Papers presented at the Conference in either physical or virtual mode will be published in full
in the Conference Proceedings.

All work submitted for publication should be the product of original research that has not been previously published elsewhere, or which has undergone substantial development from a prior publication.

For further information on academic process, refer to the Editorial Policy of SAHANZ.

Abstracts, Poster and Round Table proposals will be blind reviewed by at least two members of the Conference Academic Committee. Full papers (4500 words including Notes) will be blind peer reviewed and those accepted for presentation at the conference will be published in the Proceedings that will become available through the SAHANZ website after the conference.

For inclusion in the Proceedings, a paper must be presented at the conference. In exceptional circumstances, (due to health, mobility etc.), a live video presentation by the paper’s author may be accepted. Authors may only present one paper as a sole author, although they may present one additional paper as a co-author. All papers presented are to be accompanied by a unique conference registration - where a sole author of one paper is also the co-author of a second, the other co-author is required to register.

Work submitted for review and publication in the Conference Proceedings should be original research that has not been previously published elsewhere, or work that has undergone substantial development from a prior publication.
