IWIPS 2010 REVIEW CRITERIA

All submissions will be entered into a blind peer-reviewed process. 
Each submission will be reviewed by at least two qualified referees. 
Papers will be assessed according to the following criteria: 
•	Contribution to the field. The paper must make a clear contribution to the audience addressed. Papers with one significant contribution are more likely to be accepted than papers with numerous contributions of lesser impact. 
•	Validity of results. The results presented in the paper must be provided with clear evidence, including the study's methodology, in a way that the reader can understand with confidence. 
•	Originality of the work. Previously published work on which the paper is built must be cited. The paper must make a clear presentation of prior research, and describe in which way, where and why the submitted paper exceeds earlier efforts. 
•	Clarity of presentation. The paper must be written clearly and concisely, with an appropriate use of graphical aids. (Colour illustrations are discouraged, as are screenshots of Web pages due to the difficulty in creating quality reproductions in the proceedings.) Authors should keep in mind that English will not be the first language of some readers. Simplicity and the use of a limited, basic vocabulary are recommended. 
Please note: Acceptance of papers will not be final until at least one author has registered for the conference. Registration will be required at the time final revisions are submitted. 

Submission Types
•	Papers - Papers are formal reports of completed research, organized on a modified APA model. The length of the paper should be no more than 10 pages in the proceedings format. 
•	Case Studies - Case studies are structured descriptions of the lessons learned in applied design, evaluation, or development of products or systems within industry. The length of case studies should be between 4 to 8 pages in the proceedings format. 
•	Research-in-Progress - Research-in-Progress briefs should provide a description of the background, procedures and methodology, anticipated results, and preliminary findings (if any) of ongoing research or applied product design, evaluation or development. The length of the Research-in-Progress brief should be 6 to 10 pages in the proceedings format. (Graduate students are encouraged to submit a brief based on their theses or dissertations.) 
•	Tutorials - A tutorial is a comprehensive delivery, in an interactive and applied style of a core set of internationalisation or localisation skills methodologies or procedures. Tutorials should be interactive and applied in the nature of their delivery. Initial proposals should be 3 to 5 pages in length and do not have to be submitted in the proceedings format. Initial proposals are due on the 15th of January. The final submission will be between 15 to 30 pages, in the proceedings format, due on 15th of April 2010.
