Call for Papers Agreement and Disclosure Policy

On October 2014, ECSDEV Board added some required practices for all participants in the ICSD Conference. This Agreement is designed to promote transparency in the development and organization of the International Conference of Sustainable Development. As a result, everyone submitting a presentation, or listed as an author for a presentation for consideration at the ICSD event, is agreeing to the following statement.

I. General Submission Agreement

  • By submitting a proposal to present at the International Conference on Sustainable Development, you explicitly agree:
  • That all authors participating in the presentation (presenting authors) shall register for the Conference.
  • To present in the time slot and format assigned by the Program Committee.
  • If accepted, to adhere to the deadlines as detailed in the acceptance notification regarding additional information, presentation materials, etc.
  • To provide appropriate evidence to support any claims related to efficacy, validity, or reliability of approaches to assessment or treatment.
  • To refrain from overt statements or pointed humor that disparages the rightful dignity and social equity of any person or group.
  • To refrain from attempting to persuade attendees to purchase or use a specific product, service, piece of equipment, or device.
  • When discussing a specific product or service, to offer information on its theoretical framework, relevant evidence, and operational details; to disclose in advance if your presentation will not address the range of competing products or services; and to refrain from overt selling.
  • That any research in which you participated and may be discussing in this presentation is in compliance with mandated national and institutional policies and procedures pertaining to human and/or animal subjects research.
  • To follow the guidelines for crediting authorship for research presentations as outlined in the Ethical Standards statement published in our website: http://www.ecsdev.org/index.php/publications/ethical-standards.
  • To obtain written permission from copyright holders for the use of any previously published material in your presentation or handouts.

ECSDEV's acceptance of a proposal does not imply endorsement of course content, specific products, or clinical procedures.

II. Disclosure Policy

ECSDEV Board defines a conflict of interest as any financial or nonfinancial consideration or relationship relevant to proposal content that compromises or has the potential to compromise professional judgment. Providers of proposals approved for ICSD presentation must identify and disclose to participants any such interest on the part of any speaker or instructor.

Please note that having a disclosable financial or nonfinancial relationship does not prevent you from speaking. Disclosing such relationships is intended to give Conference attendees a more complete context in which to consider the information you provide.
