Types of Submission
OCIS division invites brief proposals for possible inclusion in the OCIS Shanghai Conference program. Brief proposals (rather than fully developed manuscripts) are invited for submission.
Three types of submissions will be accepted for this conference: Paper Proposals, Workshops Proposals, and Panel Symposium Proposals. A maximum of THREE proposals can be submitted as author, co-authors, workshop presenters or panelists. The deadline to submit all proposals is February 15th, 2018.
PAPER PROPOSALS
Paper proposals are abbreviated, developmental, or unfinished work prepared in a concise way to encourage discussion and participation. A paper proposal must fit within the context of the conference theme and be aligned with one of the conference tracks. Submitted papers must NOT have been previously presented, scheduled for presentation, published, or accepted for publication by the AOM or any other publisher or organization. If a paper is under review, it must NOT appear in print before the Conference
Paper Proposal Format
Paper proposals must follow these guidelines to ensure work is reviewed.
- A paper proposal submission in its entirety must not exceed 8 pages (6 pages for the body, which can include chart, graphs, diagrams, etc. and up to 2 pages of references and/or the proposal abstract).
- Proposals must be accompanied by an up to 125 word abstract for inclusion in the conference program. The title and abstract is included in the maximum page limit.

Paper Review Process
All paper proposals will be double-blind reviewed by at least two (2) reviewers. The double-blind review process exists to help protect the integrity of the submission and review process. Paper proposals are evaluated on clarity, analysis, methodological rigor, overall quality, and relevance to the track theme. Double-blind review means that author information and reviewer information are NOT known to each other. Reviewers will be invited to supply review comments to authors; there is no guarantee, however, that they will do so in every case. Therefore, it is critical that all author-identifying information and attribution should be removed from the paper proposal document that is uploaded to the submission system.
WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
workshop proposals describe interactive tutorials and professional development workshops meant to engage attendees in an exciting hands-on learning experience, delivering training on specific methods, pedagogy, tools, or software related to the conference theme.

PANEL SYMPOSIUM PROPOSALS
A panel symposium proposal will suggest a carefully organized session that brings together a group of panelists who share divergent views on a topic related to the conference theme in a manner that brings new insights to the subject. A symposium proposal must fit within the context of the conference theme and be aligned with one of the conference tracks. The session format should engage the panelists and audience in formal interactive discussion. These proposals will be assessed in a single-blind review process.
