Paper Submission

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

You are invited to send your abstract to the 9th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs on Architecture and Urbanism, which will be held online on 7-8 May 2026 at Alanya University. At first, participants should send their abstracts (in .doc or .docx file format). All abstracts submitted to the conference undergo a blind review process by two anonymous reviewers. The reviewers are chosen from the conference’s scientific review board. Typically, the field coordinators will seek reviewers’ feedback before considering your submission for acceptance. In that case, the field coordinator will wait until he/she receives all reviewer comments on your submission. The field coordinator will then email you directly with a decision.

Submit your abstracts to: iccaua@alanyauniversity.edu.tr
Important Note: To expedite the review process, please submit your abstract as a .docx Word file, strictly following the format, structure, and guidelines provided in the above-mentioned templates. Please first submit only your abstract. If accepted, you will receive a manuscript number and a preliminary acceptance letter, after which you may register and then submit your full paper. Please note that after you receive your manuscript number, you will need to mention your manuscript number and the title of your manuscript in all your future communication. Emails that do not include the relevant manuscript number and title may cause delays, confusion, or may remain unanswered.

Submit your abstract of no more than 150 words. Please download the given Abstract Template. You are requested to follow the format carefully for your abstract submission. Abstracts that do not apply to the correct format will be rejected. The primary language of the conference is English. We encourage you to send an informative abstract (complete abstract) which is a compendious summary of a paper’s substance including its background, purpose, methodology, results, and conclusion.

Please submit well before the submission deadline in order to be eligible for Early Bird rates to reserve your seats for the conference.

Acceptance or rejection of the paper will be sent to you with reviewer comments. If the abstract is required to be revised, the revised abstract is needed to be sent back within a week.
