[RUME] Q&A Regarding submissions to the 19th ICMI Study

[Annie Selden]

FYI:  Here are some questions and answers regarding the 19th ICMI Study on 
Proof and Proving that have arisen so far.

Annie Selden

Q1. Papers by individual authors: Can an individual author submit more than 
one paper?
A1. Yes, up to two papers. Even if both papers are accepted, however, only 
one will be published in the proceedings. It will be up to the IPC to 
decide which one.


Q2. Papers by multiple authors: Can the same group of authors submit more 
than one paper?
A1. Yes, as many papers as there are authors.


Q3. Multiple authors: Will they all be invited to attend the conference?
A1. Yes.

Q4. What are the criteria for judging a paper?
A4. The following statement appears on the Web site and in the Discussion 
Document: "Submitted contributions will be reviewed and selected on the 
following criteria: (a) clear links to the Study's goals; (b) explicit fit 
with one or more of the themes; (c) clear structure and exposition; (d) 
potential to contribute to the quality and advancement of the Study." Each 
reviewer will determine to what degree, in his or her judgement, a paper 
meets the above criteria and will make a recommendation.

To be seen as having a clear link to the Study's goals, a paper will need 
to focus upon proof and proving. Papers that have only a tangential bearing 
on proof and proving will thus not be deemed appropriate.

Q5. What if a paper is accepted by one of reviewer and rejected by the other?
A5. The IPC will discuss such papers at its next meeting and make a final 
decision.
