INSTRUCTION FOR PAPERS
1. Manuscripts should be emailed to Professor Gabriel Ogunmokun, Executive Conference Director and Program Chair, who will forward them to appropriate Track Chairs.Email: office@academyofworldfinance.com Your paper(s) will be sent to reviewers because all manuscripts must be subjected to a double blind, peer review process. Although papers accepted for presentation as a result of the double blind, peer review process will be published in the Proceedings (subject to meeting our publication requirements), the publication of the papers is not an endorsement of the content of any of the papers by the Academy. The Academy is not responsible for any claims made in any of the papers accepted for publication in the proceedings. The authors of each of the papers are solely responsible for the content, referencing of their papers, grammar, theories, positions, and terminology, set forth in proceedings. The authors of each of the papers are also responsible for ensuring that manuscripts they have submitted for publication in the proceedings have not been published elsewhere and contain no material previously published or written by another person, except when due reference is made in the text of the paper.

A full paper must be at least 5 pages long. The Proceedings will be supplied to all Congress participants and will have an ISBN. As every Congress of the Academy is of national and international significance because they each cover so many important areas, the proceedings will be made available for sale to the general public. Manuscripts should contain about a 100 word abstract and conform to the Harvard style of writing or to the style of the American Psychological Association or follow any other acceptable referencing style. The manuscript must be clearly written without any spelling or grammatical errors.

General style/format guide includes: You can submit (i) an abstract only paper of least 100 words but not more than one page, or (ii) a proposal/work in progress paper to be no longer than 5 pages, or (iii) a competitive paper but must be no longer than 15 pages or (iv) a literature review paper to be no longer than 15 pages. For every page that is over the specified number of pages, twenty Australian dollars (A$20) per page will be charged. Manuscripts must not have been previously published.

Manuscripts should be single spaced, Times New Roman font, 12pt with 2.4cm margin on all four sides and using Windows.

This should then be followed by another cover that only indicates the article title and the abstract (this will be used for anonymous refereeing). This second cover should be followed by the full paper.

2. Regarding publications in the proceedings, the Academy will allow authors to decide whether to publish the complete paper in the proceedings or to publish only the abstract.

Upon acceptance of a paper, the author(s) agree that:

At least one author will present the paper at the Congress and must pre-register as a condition for publication in the proceedings and the copyright will belong to the Academy unless you choose to publish only a one page abstract.
