 Guidelines for Referencing
 
Content

The following questions are outlined in order to help you address the development of your paper. No particular structure is prescribed and it is expected that there will be a diversity of approaches reflected. These questions will be used to structure the review process subseqently.

  1. Relevance and originality: Does the paper make an original and relevant contribution within the field of e-learning, multimedia and consultancy?

  2. Clear formulation of the purpose of the paper, a statement of the research aims and where the study is placed in connection with a broader field of research, with references to relevant research literature.

  3. If an empirical study: Methods should be clearly described, but not in too much detail since there is a limit of 8 pages.

  4. If an empirical study: It must be clear what the results of the study are and how these emerge from the analysis. Tables, graphs etc. must be clear and easy to read.

  5. If a non-empirical paper: The line of argument should be clear and easy to follow, conclusions must follow clearly from the arguments that are presented.

  6. Discussion, conclusions and/or implications should be clearly connected with the aims and results (and/or the line of argument) presented in the study. Results must be discussed in light of relevant literature.
