1. A version of your paper which includes the title, author(s) and abstract;
2. A de-identified version (i.e: no authors) of your paper to allow for blind peer-review.

Details for Authors

All papers and special interest topics submissions must be submitted electronically and must be received by the extended deadline of Friday, 9th May, 4.00 pm.

Details of the submission process are given at Guidelines for competitive papers.

Papers must conform to the format instructions. Please keep an exact copy for future reference. Papers will be subjected to formal double blind peer review. Authors will be notified of acceptance, rejection and/or suggested modifications as soon as the review process has been completed. Decisions by the Conference Chair are final. Please see key dates for submission and revision deadlines. It is a condition of acceptance of the paper that at least one of the authors must attend the conference and present the paper.

Reviewers for 2008 INSM will judge all manuscripts on the basis of their contributions to the development of nonprofit and social marketing thought, and development and social marketing practice. Papers will be judged on their overall quality and their contribution to the theme. Papers that merely review the literature are discouraged.
