* Please note that the lists of subtopics under each main topic are intended
as guidelines for submission, and hence are by no means exhaustive.

The papers will be published in different journals, depending on the track.
Track 1 and track 3 papers will be published in a Digital Humanities journal,
track 2 papers will be published in indexed journal Diacrítica, and track 4
papers will be published in indexed journal PSIQUE.

Abstract submission

Each participant may submit up to two abstracts via the form at
http://cehum.ilch.uminho.pt/techling2018#registration, which must not exceed
300 words nor five keywords, in one of the working languages of the conference
(Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian and English). It is recommended that you
follow APA guidelines, structuring the text as follows: identification of the
topic, objective, methodology (sample, instrument and procedure), results and
conclusion. In the abstract all sections should be presented in a concise
manner, especially the Results section. If your study does not have an
empirical basis, the abstract should have the structure of a theoretical
study: identifying the theoretical approach or model and linking current and
past results.

Until June 15, 2018 participants will be notified of the decision regarding
acceptance of their abstract and whether it was accepted for the intended type
of presentation or whether any changes have been suggested.

Paper submission:

Upon notification of acceptance, participants should submit their full
paper(s) to techLING2018 at autonoma.pt within the stipulated deadline (see
Important Dates). Accepted papers will be published regardless of presentation
type.
