A conference call for papers (CFP) is an invitation to researchers, practitioners, and scholars to submit abstracts or full manuscripts for presentation at an upcoming conference. A well-crafted CFP clearly communicates the event’s theme, submission guidelines, important dates, and review process. By setting expectations early, organizers attract high-quality contributions that enrich the conference program.
Define a Clear Theme: Articulate a focused topic or research question that highlights emerging trends or gaps in the literature.
Specify Submission Requirements: Include word or page limits, formatting style (e.g., APA, IEEE), file types, and anonymization guidelines for blind review.
Highlight Key Dates: List the abstract submission deadline, notification of acceptance, full-paper deadline, and registration cutoffs.
Detail the Review Process: Explain single-blind or double-blind review, the number of reviewers per paper, and decision timelines.
Promote Benefits to Authors: Emphasize opportunities such as publication in conference proceedings, best-paper awards, or special journal issues.
Use Engaging Language: Write in active voice and address prospective authors directly—encourage innovation, collaboration, and interdisciplinary work.
By following these guidelines, you increase the visibility of your CFP and attract a diverse pool of contributors.
