These rules and guidelines refer to submission of papers to the IPA 2024 main conference (3-5 July 2024)

Authors are invited to submit full papers. Paper submission for both in-person and virtual attendees is now open and will close on 31^st January 2024, 23:59 GMT. To submit your paper please click on https://www.eventsforce.net/royalholloway/55/home 

A full paper is a complete scholarly research manuscript that could reasonably be submitted for publication in an academic journal.

Papers will be subject to initial review by a conference chair or member of the organising committee. Papers considered out of the scope of the conference will be rejected at this initial review stage. Papers progressing from the initial review stage, will then undergo a double-blind review process. Please do NOT include any type of information that can identify you, so no name, no address, no e-mail address, no acknowledgments or thanks should appear in your paper. Information typically provided on a cover page should only be entered on the on-line submission form. The first page of your paper should include the title of your paper, the abstract and the keywords. There is no specific manuscript format requested and no limit to the number of pages.

Papers can only be submitted electronically via the submission website (https://www.eventsforce.net/royalholloway/55/home) where full submission details are provided. Papers received by postal mail or email  will not be considered. Papers should be submitted in English.  

Please note that several system-generated emails eg. acknowledgement of a submitted paper, invitations to review papers, decisions on acceptance/rejection, will be sent automatically from Royal Holloway's conference management software provider. Sometimes such messages can be intercepted on receipt by 'spam' filtration. Please check your filtered messages, 'clutter' or 'junk' mail folders for messages from cms@royalholloway.ac.uk, or cms@royalhollowaycommunications.ac.uk. 

Confirmation of acceptance or rejection will be given by 28^th March 2024 and sent to the corresponding e-mail address of the presenting author, together with instructions for the Parallel Sessions. The presenter(s) of an accepted paper must register as a participant (in-person or virtual) for the conference before 30^th April 2024. Please take into account that once a paper is included in the programme, the author should present it at the conference or officially notify the organisers of its withdrawal.

If the paper is accepted, the authors will have the option of allowing the release of the paper online to all conference delegates. The papers will be accessible as of 2 weeks prior to the conference until 2 weeks after the congress, and only to the delegates.

Each individual is limited to one personal appearance on the programme as a presenting author. In other words, an author can submit and present one paper only. However, a presenter can be a non-presenting co-author on additional papers.

In submitting papers to the conference, authors are fully responsible for ensuring that their paper is original, and that they are not committing any form of plagiarism. If signs of plagiarism are detected with reference to any paper submitted to the conference, at any time before, during or after the conference, the paper will be immediately withdrawn and cancelled from the conference program. Authors whose paper is withdrawn for the above reasons will still be able to attend the conference, but not present their paper, or withdraw, if still possible, following the same general rules and deadlines set for the conference.

Parallel sessions

In line with past IPA conferences, the presentation of each paper will be as follows. Each paper will beallocated 45 minutes: the discussant presents and comments on the paper for 20 minutes; then, the presenting author has 10 minutes for a response; after that, there will be 15 minutes for open discussion with the audience. Some sessions will be mixed in-person and virtual.

Should you have questions, please contact ipa2024@rhul.ac.uk

Emerging Scholars Colloquium – 1^st and 2^nd July 2024

The Emerging Scholars Colloquium (ESC) takes place prior to the main Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Accounting Conference. For IPA 2024, “Emerging scholars" means students currently studying for a PhD programme and early career researchers (typically those who have been in an academic position involving a significant expectation of research for less than five years). 

The ESC is intended for emerging scholars working in the field of interdisciplinary accounting research and research into the social, political and organisational aspects of accounting. During the ESC emerging scholars will present and discuss their research with peers as well as established accounting researchers and get constructive feedback and advice.

Applicants should supply a curriculum vitae and an extended abstract or summary of the research (around 1500 words excluding references) that they wish to present at the Colloquium. Applicants should also submit a letter of support from their thesis/dissertation supervisor or a senior academic colleague. Please note that applicants cannot submit the same paper to both the Emerging Scholars Colloquium and the main conference. Submissions to the ESC Colloquium will need to be sent by email to ipa2024.esc@rhul.ac.uk

The IPA 2024 ESC faculty brings together the following established accounting scholars:
