Instructions for the contribution preparation

(for dates and fees scroll down please)

  • The article author registers by article submission via HED Easychair site.

  • First and foremost, we are calling for original research manuscripts. We consider all original research manuscripts provided that the work reports scientifically, soundly and provides a substantial amount of new information. Secondly, you can submit concise and precise updates on the latest progress made in a given area. Such manuscripts in a form of focused systematic reviews should follow the PRISMA guidelines.

  • Regular paper length is from 6 to 12 pages including abstracts, acknowledgments, and references. 

  • All papers are accepted through the Easychair system only. Please do not send your article by mail. You have to be registered in the Easychair system in order to submit your contribution. You can create your Easychair account, if you do not have one, by following this guide and the account creation page. Use the HED Easychair site to submit your manuscript.

  • Use the HED template to prepare your paper. Please follow the instructions and text styles of the template. The template is prepared as ".dotx" file (MS Word template for MS Word 2010 and newer) with predefined text styles. Do not change the predefined styles, borders, or other settings of the template. An incorrect format can be the reason for paper rejection. We offer two articles as a template demonstration: demonstration article 1, demonstration article 2.

  • We recommend writing the paper in our template from the beginning. Use the insert option "insert only text" or "merge format" if you need to copy the text from a different document. As a second option, you can copy the text into the Notepad program and then copy it into the Word template.

  • Please update or improve your paper according to the reviewers´ suggestions if the paper is returned to you (conditional acceptance). Please highlight the text you changed by yellow color (MS Word text highlight color tool) and upload the revised version of your paper into the Easychair system. Please follow these steps to update your paper or registration:

    1. Login at the Easychair site HED submission web and select the Author role.

    2. Click on the magnifying glass icon.
      .

    3. Click on the Update files option on the right-side menu. Other options in the menu can update your registration information and authorship.

    4. Click on the Select file and find an update file on your computer. Click on Open.

    5. You finish your update by clicking the Submit button.

  • Please check our Ethics page to be sure your contribution complies with the Hradec Economic Days rules.

Posters

If you selected in the registration to present your paper as a poster, we suggest using free PowerPoint scientific poster templates for A1 format. Choose a layout and then in standard poster sizes in centimeters click on the A1 size to download. You may find useful tips for poster preparation here. Also, please mind that the main purpose of your poster is to attract others to read your paper. Your paper already has all the relevant features in the proceedings, especially references - there is no need to repeat them on the poster. Please send your poster to the conference mail hed@uhk.cz as PPTX and also as PDF file by March 21 at the latest.
