Call for contributions

Submission guidelines

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts presenting original research, methodological developments, applications, or ongoing work within the broad field of Multi-Criteria Decision Making and Analysis (MCDM/A).

Extended abstracts must be 4 to 6 pages in length, including the title, abstract, keywords, main text, references, figures and tables. All submissions must be uploaded as PDF documents and prepared using the official conference template.

The submitted extended abstract must not have been previously published in the same form. Submission of an extended abstract to the conference does not prevent authors from subsequently developing the work into a full paper for submission to an academic journal.

All submissions will undergo peer review by members of the Scientific Committee. Contributions will be evaluated according to their relevance to the conference, originality, methodological soundness, significance and clarity of presentation.

Accepted contributions may be presented either as an oral presentation or a poster, according to the authors’ preference and the final decision of the Scientific Committee.

Accepted extended abstracts will be included in the Conference Proceedings and assigned a DOI.

By submitting a contribution, the authors confirm that, if accepted, at least one author will register for the conference and present the work.
