Paper Formats
The 13NCEE program will be designed with community-submitted papers. Papers will be a maximum of 4 pages, with an abstract limited to 200 words, and a maximum of 5 figures (included in the 4-page limit). References are not included in the page limit but must be formatted per the 13NCEE style. There will be no preliminary abstract submission and review. The first and only submission will be a 4-page paper manuscript. All papers must be submitted using the 13NCEE paper template. This format and length are designed to be similar to a ‘technical note’ accepted by many technical journals.
Submission of Papers for Review
Authors must submit papers online. Paper submission will open in the summer of 2025. Full papers must be received by September 30, 2025.
A submission fee must accompany the submission of each paper. This fee varies by the submitter’s EERI membership type and helps to cover the administrative costs of paper submission and review. It is non-refundable and does not get applied to an author’s conference registration. This fee helps to cover the administrative costs of paper submission and review.
