iJADE has a long history of encouraging the participation of those new to presenting at academic conferences and writing for publication.
This practical session is for anyone – including educators, researchers and artists – who would appreciate time to explore how to write a good conference abstract or get their work ready for academic journals, such as the International Journal of Art & Design Education.
The session will look at what conferences organisers might be expecting in an abstract, the format that abstracts are expected to follow, and questions that authors may want to ask themselves whilst writing them. It will discuss how a conference abstract connects to the formal abstract submitted with a written academic paper for journal publication.
Including practical tasks as well as sharing of good practice, we hope that the session will not only prepare participants for submitting papers to the 2027 iJADE conference, but will be useful for anyone interested in presenting at conferences more generally.
This workshop is open to both members and non-members of NSEAD and free to attend.
Session aims:
- To demystify the abstract writing process for conference presentation papers.
- To provide practical tips for writing academic conference abstracts (including but not limited to the iJADE conference).
