step 1
abstract
submission process
The author should prepare and submit an abstract through the website.
The abstract should be concise and clearly state the proposed research study’s purpose, results, and conclusions.
The author should select the most relevant topic for the paper from the corresponding conference topics.
The author can use/download an Abstract Writing Template prior to submission.
Abtracts can be sent in English and/or Spanish
To submit your abstract, please click on “submit abstract” and follow the instructions.
- Select the Topic in which you are making the submission.
- Insert the title of your study in the “Paper Title” section Insert the full abstract in the “Abstract” section/upload a file in the .pdf, .doc, .docm, or .docx format.
- Add in writing 3 – 5 keywords that define the field, subfield, topic, and research area covered by the article to help other researchers understand and find your work.
- Provide the names, affiliations, and Emails of all authors/ co-authors involved.
- Confirm your submission by ticking having read the instructions and “submit Abstract”.
step 2.1
abtract acceptance
After acceptance of your abstract of at least (150 – 300 words), you will receive a proforma invoice and specific instructions to complete the payment online or by bank transfer (See Conference fees) to confirm your participation.
Once your abstract has been accepted, please refer to the important dates tab and carefully review the announced dates to avoid late payment, as late payment comes at an extra charge (early bird/regular/late).
After successfully completing payment, you will be issued upon request with the following:
- A signed/ stamped abstract acceptance letter.
- Please note that acceptance of participation, abstract submission, and extended abstract/short paper submissions all have different deadlines. To stay up to date and avoid paying extra fees, or delaying your paper, please carefully review the important dates tab.
- Receipt of Payment/ Payment Invoice.
- Visa Invitation Letter, if needed.
After abstract acceptance, you may be given the option to extend the abstract to publish your work in the conference proceedings (indexed in Scopus/SCImago) (optional not obligatory).
This is not a prerequisite for presenting your work at the conference. Meaning, you can present your submitted abstract without intending to publish your work.
step 2.2
short paper
Your short paper should be 4-6 pages long and submitted before the paper submission deadline, in English or Spanish, and fit within one of the conference topics.
The short paper should follow the research paper structure as follows: Abstract (+keywords), Introduction, problem statement, and study aim, Review of the Literature, Methodology, results and conclusion/ discussion, References list using the Paper Writing Template.
- The submission should be made following the same procedure followed for the abstract or sent to the conference email.
- Here: Authors may need more pages than the allotted maximum of 6 to insert figures, tables, appendixes, etc. In this case, they can submit regular papers (max. 12 pages) with the same fixed fee.
- For a detailed outline of the fees, please refer to the payment table in the conference fees tab.
step 3
rigorous peer
review process
(double-blind)
If submitted, the short paper will be preliminarily checked (iThenticate plagiarism/ similarity screening Software, readability, and scope) and it will be peer-reviewed. If similarity issues are detected, the following will apply: % from all sources: 10-15%; % from one source: 3-5%; Higher than 30% (all sources): Reject completely; Lower than 30% (all sources): Ask for revision to decrease the similarities.
TSA2024 has an unyielding policy regarding plagiarism. We believe that copying/ taking the ideas and work of other Authors without permission and credit is fraudulent. The Reviewing committee and TSA2024 staff have the authority to reject a paper during its reviewing process, on the basis of the paper being subjected to either minor or major plagiarism.
Each paper/ chapter is evaluated by a minimum of two reviewers, after which a final decision by the responsible Editor is made. There is no maximum to the number of times a paper can be reviewed, depending on the quality of the submission.
- If your short paper is accepted by the Editors for publishing with comments/ requested modifications, our Editors (publishing department) will contact you once a decision is made and you will be asked to revise and correct it. After resubmission, it will be re-checked. Note: There may be more than one round of peer review and the decision rests with the editors of the title. Missed deadlines may result in complete exclusion/ rejection from the final publication.
- If your short paper is accepted for publishing without edits/ comments, the corresponding author will be contacted to provide the final version of their chapters/ papers following the Publication Guidelines and sign the consent-to-publish (CTP) form to authorize publication in the conference proceedings.
- A back-and-forth process: modifications will be sent back to the responsible Editor/ Series Editor and another round of evaluation conducted where needed.
- Participants/ Authors should regularly check their emails (Junk/ Spam folders).
- If you are not interested in publishing an extended abstract in the proceedings, please inform the conference support Tenerifetsa2024@magnacongresos.es
step 4
extended paper
After the conference, the authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their research, 8 – 12+ pages in length, (optional) of their short papers for publishing in an edited volume to be published by…
Publishing your short paper (i.e., extended abstract) in the conference proceedings does not prevent the submission of the full version for publishing consideration after the conference if the similarity percentages (SR%) in Step 3 are taken into account.
