OPEN CATEGORIES FOR SUBMISSION
World Learning Summit offers the possibility of publishing research papers of two different lengths: Short and long. Short papers are summaries and recordings of ongoing projects, with a lower threshold. Full papers are selected on a merit basis, comments provided by dedicated discussants and final paper revision done in a double blind peer review process. Acceptance is competitive.
Attendees at the summits are encouraged to suggest panels and workshops. With a viable idea, presented and discussed in the WLS planning group, the summit team will offer assistance and guidance.
Please just use the formats suggested to the right and adhere to the summit call themes of relevance at the bottom of this page.
WLS 2020 Summit Proceedings will be published by LOGOS Verlag, in Berlin. In the Norwegian system, inclusion in these proceedings represent a level 1 publication, for full research papers. Other standards may apply internationally.
WLS Summit proceedings are indexed in the major indexes, by Logos Verlag. The proceedings are published in paper and also as Open Access electronic files with DOIs available for the entire anthology or for each individual entry.
PhD students are encouraged to apply for inclusion in the 2020 WLS PhD Colloquium. This venue offers a full day of PhD-dedicated presentations and discussions on May 26th, with inclusion also in the following summit. PhD students are encouraged to publish but there is no requirement that presented papers need to be published in our Summit Proceedings. There will however be a chance to do so, based on double blind peer review and inclusion upon that merit.
PhD papers follow the same standard format length as the Full paper category. Separate deadlines apply. Please ask-
