Authors are kindly requested to read and follow the instructions below carefully:

  1. Authors must initially submit only an abstract. A full paper should not be submitted during the first stage.
  2. The abstract must be submitted as a Microsoft Word .docx file. PDF files or abstracts submitted directly in the body of an email will not be considered valid submissions.
  3. The abstract must strictly follow the official ICCAUA abstract template regarding its structure, formatting, headings, font, and required information.
  4. Abstracts that do not follow the official template may be returned to the authors for correction or rejected without proceeding to scientific evaluation.
  5. All submissions must be written in clear and academically appropriate English.
  6. Each submission must present an original, scientifically relevant, and clearly defined contribution related to the scope of ICCAUA2027.
  7. The deadline for submitting abstracts is 5 December 2026.
  8. Abstracts must be submitted by email to:

iccaua@alanyauniversity.edu.tr

  1. Authors are advised to use the following email subject:

ICCAUA2027 Abstract Submission – [Title of the Manuscript]

  1. Following the evaluation of the abstract, accepted authors will receive a preliminary acceptance letter and an official manuscript number.
  2. Only after receiving preliminary acceptance may authors complete their conference registration and prepare and submit the full paper.
  3. Following acceptance, authors must include both their manuscript number and manuscript title in the subject and body of every future email sent to the conference.
  4. Emails that do not include the relevant manuscript number and manuscript title may cause delays, confusion, or difficulty in identifying the submission.
  5. The choice between online and in-person participation is intended for organisational and logistical planning and will not influence the scientific evaluation of the submission.
