All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Virtual presentation is available if you are unable to attend in person.


Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution. It is IBIMA policy to send complete papers to two reviewers for full blind peer review and to send a summary of review back to the author(s) . Short papers/abstracts will be reviewed by reviewer and/or the editor. All review comments and suggestions should be addressed in the final submission. Submitted Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.

Conference proceedings will be published as an e-book on a CD (ISBN: 978-0-9821489-1-4)

All Submissions should be sent to KL2009@ibima.org
