Call for papers
|
|
A call for papers (CfP) is a method used in academics and other contexts for collecting book or journal articles or conference speeches. A CfP usually is sent to interested parties, describing the broad theme, the occasion for the CfP, formalities (what kind of abstract has to be submitted to whom?) and a deadline.
A CfP is usually distributed using a mailing list (e.g. DBWorld in Computer Science), or on specialized services such as PapersInvited (http://www.papersinvited.com) or EventSeer.org (http://www.eventseer.org)
