Call for Research Submissions
Sharing your research and the lessons you learned from conducting that research is critical to the evolution of this area of study and contributes to the overall well-being of our scholarly community. We invite submission of complete research, research-in-progress, and research ideas and proposals. We welcome innovative, inspiring research with the aim to have a clear impact on the preparation, recruitment, persistence, and/or advancement of neurodivergent people in the workplace. Submitted work may be conceptual, analytical, design-oriented, or empirical in nature. One goal of the workshop is to provide an opportunity to receive constructive feedback to advance and improve your work.
Evaluation Criteria
The primary criteria for acceptance of a submitted paper are the scientific quality of the paper and the potential contribution to neurodiversity employment research and practice. To this end, consider these three criteria:
- Relevance to the workshop: The extent to which a paper meets the workshop goals and may relate to the preparation, recruitment, persistence, and advancement of neurodivergent individuals in the workplace.
- Potential scholarly contribution: The scientific quality of the submission relative to the theoretical grounding and/or methodological clarity and empirical rigor as well as originality of the paper.
- Broader impact: The relevance of the work to neurodiversity employment practice and its potential for impact on society.
- Quality of presentation: The quality of the writing and organization of ideas and conclusions.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee.
Submission Format
We welcome contributions in the following forms:
- Complete research papers (5-10 pages)
- Research-in-progress papers (2-4 pages)
- Research ideas and proposals (1-2 pages)
All submissions must be written in English. They must include a title, a list of authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses, and a 200-word abstract. Papers should be single-spaced, single column, with a font size of 11-12 points. Papers that do not follow these formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected. For all paper forms, references are not counted in the page limit and may extend as many pages beyond the page limit as you need.
Papers submitted to the Neurodiversity at Work Research Workshop must not have been published elsewhere while under consideration for the Neurodiversity at Work Research Workshop. Contravention of this concurrent submission policy will be deemed a serious breach of scientific ethics, and appropriate action will be taken in all such cases.
