This controlled ontology is used in two ways for the purpose of organizing conference submissions and reviewers:
- When individuals upload an abstract submission, they will be asked to select from the categories below. These are intended to identify what languages, geographies, temporal periods, methods, and disciplines/fields of study best describe the submission.
- When an individual is identified as a potential reviewer, they will be asked to select from the categories below. These are intended to identify what languages, geographies, temporal periods, methods, and disciplines/fields of study the reviewer is willing to complete review activities for.
Taken together, these identifications will be used to filter and assign potential reviewers. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to identify major areas of discussion and research so that we can best align submissions to reviewers’ interests.
