SELECTION OF ACCEPTED PAPERS

 

The Scientific Committee will analyze their content and the defined requirements, and when applicable, will accept them for oral presentation and publication in the Proceedings Book, or for its presentation as a recorded video for the UMH YouTube channel of the Congress. This information will be notified on April 19, 2026.

Papers may be rejected by the Scientific Committee if they do not relate to the proposed title and content, if they do not make any original contributions, or if the quality of the text and/or video is not adequate; in short, if they do not contribute to the advancement of knowledge, because they are merely a description of the state of the art or a simple recapitulation of already known topics. Special attention will be paid to plagiarism and the indiscriminate use of artificial intelligence.

In any case, a paper will be rejected if:

  1. In person modality: if the paper exceeds the maximum established length, that is, 12 pages with the preset format in the template, in Times New Roman 12, single spaced (this includes graphics, notes and bibliographic references).
  2. Online modality with recorded video: video in MP4, MOV or AVI formats, which exceed a maximum duration of 12 minutes, or if their quality is not adequate for a scientific congress.

 

ORAL PRESENTATION OF THE PAPERS

 

  1. In person modality: All papers chosen for oral presentation during the Congress will not exceed 10 minutes.
  2. Online modality with recorded video: All papers chosen for online presentation with video recording will not exceed 12 minutes.
