The Scientific Programme and Publications Subcommittee has extended the call for the submission of abstracts for oral and poster presentations at the Conference to a new deadline of 4 November 2022.

 

The abstracts should specifically address issues outlined in the subthemes, which are as follows:

 

• Making an educational case for postgraduate studies

• Barriers to access to postgraduate studies

• Increasing participation rates for previously disadvantaged population groups

• Key success factors in postgraduate studies

• Funding models for postgraduate studies

• Assessment practices in postgraduate studies

• Lived experiences of postgraduate students

• Promoting success in postgraduate studies

 

Abstracts that speak to the overarching theme of the Conference but do not necessarily fall within any of the subthemes above will be considered for a possible ‘open track’ Conference session.

 

Abstracts submitted should adhere to the following requirements:

• Not exceeding 400 words in length, including 5 keywords;

• Reflect titles, names of authors and their institutional or organisational affiliations;

• Bear email addresses of the corresponding authors;

• The abstract title should be concise, not more than 15 words, and clearly convey the subject of the abstract;

• The abstract should be typed using 11 point Century Gothic or Arial font;

• Text lines should be justified and spaced consistently at one-and-half line spacing; and

• The abstracts should be submitted in a Microsoft Word Document format.

 

Each abstract will be reviewed by the Scientific Programme and Publications Subcommittee of the CHE 2023 Research Conference Organising Committee and only those abstracts accepted or endorsed by the subcommittee will be scheduled for presentation at the Conference.

 

The abstracts should be sent to the Scientific Programme and Publications Subcommittee of the CHE 2023 Research Conference Organising Committee through the following email address: research@che.ac.za (cc mohale.m@che.ac.za; boti.z@che.ac.za).

 

Important dates:

Abstract submission extended to: 4 November 2022

Notification of abstract acceptance: 30 November 2022

Registration deadline: 10 February 2023

 

Communication conveying messages of acceptance of abstracts will be sent only to those authors who would have registered for the Conference. It is therefore recommended that authors register for the Conference by the time they submit their abstracts.

 

Publication of Conference Papers

Approved full papers presented at the conference will be published by the CHE in a special issue of a scholarly journal recognised by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) for research output subsidy. Authors will be allowed four months after the conference to revise their papers in line with the inputs received at the conference. The revised papers will further undergo a peer-review process before being published and only the papers that the peer reviewers will recommend will eventually be published.
