Abstracts
Abstracts are for research or practice work which is suitably advanced and has substantial results and reflections that would inform the work of the wider research data management community. Papers may identify challenges, propose a solution or approach tackling these, or describe an activity or research project currently in progress or recently completed. Of particular interest are lessons learned and recommendations for best practice.
How to submit Abstracts
You are required to submit an abstract of approximately 200 words. If your abstract is accepted, you will be invited to give a 20-minute presentation at IHHWC:DUBLIN 2020, followed by 5 minutes of questions.
Accepted papers will also be invited to write-up in full (6-12 pages not including references and appendices, approximately 3,000 – 7,000 words) to publish in the conference proceedings. Your submission must use the provided template. It should observe the word limit, be written using clear language, accurately reflect the title and abstract, present a coherently structured argument, with sufficient context for the reader, and concrete examples where appropriate.
Based on the review of your abstract you will have the option to submit the paper for further peer review, for publication in the Conference Digest of Abstracts. You can choose to submit your paper as a research paper or general article.

Infographic Posters
These enable you to display information about your work through graphics rather than words. The ideal poster should be designed to attract attention and generate interaction. Posters are displayed in an open area throughout the conference and the programme includes a dedicated poster viewing slot. Posters are displayed adjacent to where coffee breaks and lunches are served, which gives you even more time to interact with those who show interest in your work.
How to submit a poster
You can either submit a short abstract (we expect 250 words but allow up to 2 pages) or the poster itself, if it is available.
The full poster will have to be submitted, in PDF format, following these simple guidelines:
A) portrait or landscape – 841mm x 1189mm or approximately 33.1″ x 46.8″
Your poster should be one piece and not made up of separate sections.
Your poster should include title, author(s) names, affiliations, institutional logos, where appropriate, and email addresses.
