Call for Papers

Original papers in English are invited on a theme related to those mentioned below. An international review panel will review the papers based on originality of the work, quality and relevance to the main theme of the conference.

In conformity with international practices, peer reviewed and accepted papers will be published in the following way:
    1. All the papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in conference proceedings         which will be published in a CD format.

    2. Few of the selected papers will be included in a special issue of Emerald’s journal Program: Electronic         Library and Information Systems which will be published post conference. A combined Editorial team         from ICDK and Emerald will make the selections.

    3. Some of the high-quality papers will be published as an edited book by an international publisher post         conference. A combined Editorial team from ICDK and the publisher will make the selections.

(The following three-tier publication procedure has adopted by the Organizing Committee to ensure high quality of the publications and to avoid any copyright issues as more than one publisher involved in the publication process.)
