The Academic Committee of the 4th Paris International Conference on Education, Economy and Society is looking for Referees willing to take part in the selection process. The Referees will be offered their registration fees. The role of a Referee comprises two parts.
1/ Abstract Reviewing
Review 200 abstracts (200 words each) and, for each of them, provide the Committee with recommendations for acceptance or rejection. The abstract review is to be performed between 20 October and 20 December 2011. Meeting the deadline is critical.
2/ Full Paper Refereeing
Referee the initial and the revised versions of up to 20 full papers. For each of them, provide, as necessary: suggestions for revision, motives for rejection, or recommendations for Acceptance. What is expected here is not only copy editing (correcting spelling, grammar, word usage, etc.), but also and overall content assessment (Is there a clear statement of the research question? Is the research method or approach relevant? Was it properly executed? Are there mistakes, unclarities, lacks or problems? Are the results consistent with the research design? ...). The refereeing process will take place from 10 March to 20 May 2012. Meeting the deadlines is critical.
