Submission Rules

Authors who want to submit a paper must be EAA members in the year of the congress for which they submit. If you want to submit a paper for the EAA Annual Congress 2025 and you are not yet an EAA member 2025, you will be asked to subscribe for membership 2025 before being allowed to submit.

You do not have to pay the conference fee in order to submit your paper. You either have to subscribe to EAA membership for 2025 or renew your EAA membership. 

As a reminder, the presenter(s) of an accepted paper must register as a participant for the congress before 28th February 2025. Compiling the congress schedule is a monumental task that requires time, effort and coordination between the members of the Scientific Committee, local organisers and the EAA Executive Officer. Authors registering past 28th February at the late fee WILL NOT have their papers included in the programme. 

As a consolidated EAA policy, each individual is limited to one personal appearance on the programme as a presenting author. This policy precludes acceptance of papers for more than one presentation. In other words, an author can submit and present one paper only. However, a presenter can always 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paper submitted to the conference, at any time before, during or after the conference, the paper will be immediately withdrawn and cancelled from the conference program. Authors whose paper is withdrawn for the above reasons will still be able to attend the conference, but not present their paper, or withdraw, if still possible, following the same general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.

Authors are invited to submit full papers. The deadline for the submission of papers is 1st December 2024, 12:00 midnight GMT.

A full paper is a complete scholarly research report that could reasonably be submitted for publication in a public working paper database such as SSRN.

Papers will be subject to a double-blind review process by the Scientific Committee. So 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 this website (please see the page “Online Paper Submission” and follow the instructions). Abstracts will be included in the congress programme, so they should not exceed 250 words. Papers received by postal mail, fax or in writing will not be considered. Papers should be submitted in English.

The official language of the EAA congress is English. Therefore, all translations and the use of translation equipment during the congress are prohibited.

Confirmation of acceptance or rejection by the Standing Scientific Committee (SSC) will be given after 7th February 2025 and sent to the corresponding e-mail address of the presenting author, together with instructions for Parallel Sessions with Discussant (PSD), Parallel Sessions (PS) or Research Fora (RF).

The presenter(s) of an accepted paper must register as a participant for the congress before 28th February 2025.

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.

It is generally expected that papers accepted for publications will not be submitted and presented at the EAA. Authors whose papers are accepted for publication in a journal after having been accepted for presentation at the EAA Annual Congress should inform the EAA Standing Scientific Committee by no later than mid-April 2025. In these circumstances, authors will normally be requested to withdraw their paper from the programme. 

By submitting, the authors accept the release of their paper online.

The papers will be accessible as of 2 weeks prior to the congress until 4 weeks after the congress, and only to the delegates.

Should you have questions, please contact Baha Diyarov, the EAA 2025 Paper Review Coordinator, via e-mail (submissions@eaacongress.org).
