Conference publications

To be included in this category the conference publication must meet the definition of research as amplified in the general requirements for research publications and must:

• be published in full. The papers may appear in a number of different formats, e.g. a volume of proceedings, a special edition of a journal, a normal issue of a journal, a book or a monograph, CD-ROM or conference or organisational web site
• be peer reviewed
• be presented at conferences, workshops or seminars of national or international significance
• be written by an author affiliated with USQ.

Keynote addresses and invited papers may be included where all other papers for the conference are peer reviewed. You must retain in verification material evidence of the keynote status of the address (e.g. contents page) and of other contributions to the conference being peer reviewed (e.g. a statement in the introduction to proceedings indicating this).

The types of conference publications that are unlikely to meet the criteria include papers that appear only in a volume handed out to conference participants.
