WABER 2010 Update (26 March 2010)
Dear All,
A big thank you to several of you who have worked hard to submit your full papers for the WABER 2010 conference which will take place at the British Council in Accra, Ghana on 27-28 July 2010.
The refereeing process has started and our plan is to write to everyone in April on the outcome of the review process. The acceptance of a paper will be informed by the recommendation of our reviewers. As mentioned in earlier emails, our commitment is to publish only good quality papers in the conference proceedings. Therefore, we would not be able to publish papers that are not of sufficiently good quality, although we are strongly committed to helping all authors to improve on their research work and scientific writing skills.
This means that only the papers that are adjudged by referees to be of good quality will have the full paper included in the proceedings. Where the referees do not think that a paper is of sufficiently good quality, the author(s) will be notified and offered the opportunity to have the abstract of their paper included in the conference proceedings. Thus, if a full paper is not accepted for publication in the proceedings, it does not mean that the opportunity to take part in the conference is closed. In fact, we would strongly encourage the author(s) to take part in the conference and have the abstract of their paper included in the conference proceedings. The author(s) will have the chance to present the work and get some feedback and they will also benefit from everything else the conference has to offer, including knowledge, exposure, connections and collaboration opportunities.
As you might be already aware, we are blessed to have three high profile keynote speakers in the persons of Professor Will Hughes (University of Reading, UK), Professor George Ofori (National University of Singapore, Singapore) and Dr Roine Leiringer (University of Reading, UK). As part of the conference, there will also be a workshop on how to write a scientific article. This part of the conference will be facilitated by leading international academics and would be useful for participants who aspire to publish papers at the highest level.
A big thank you to all of you once more for your involvement in WABER. I look forward to emailing the paper review results to you in April.
Best
Sam
