Number of submissions per author
Authors cannot submit more than two papers and/or extended abstracts to DiGRA 2023, including PhD Consortium submissions.
An individual can be co-author on as many full papers and extended abstracts as they like but cannot submit more than two as main author/presenter.
If the limit is exceeded, only the two first submissions will be reviewed.
The limit does not include participation in panels or workshops.
Submission Guidelines
We welcome a range of contributions to DiGRA 2023: full papers, extended abstracts, panel and doctoral consortium participation, and workshop proposals.
Full papers and extended abstracts will be peer-reviewed, published on the conference website, and published in the conference proceedings available via open-access through the DiGRA Digital Library:
Full Paper
Full papers are expected to be 5000-7000 words plus references, submitted as an anonymized PDF on DiGRA 2023 Submission Template. Submissions must be original, which means that they have not been published or are not under peer review elsewhere.
Full papers are peer-reviewed publications of original game studies research, presenting mature, complete research. Authors must present accepted full papers at the DiGRA conference.
Accepted manuscripts will appear in the Proceedings of the 2023 DiGRA International Conference, which is published in the open access DiGRA Digital Library.
Extended Abstract
The suggested length for an extended abstract is 500-800 words, with a maximum of 1000 words, excluding references (only key references should be included), submitted as an anonymised PDF using the DiGRA 2023 Submission Template.
Give a short description in the abstract field of the conference management system, but there is no need for extended abstracts to contain an abstract.
The purpose of an extended abstract is to demonstrate a contribution interesting to DiGRA audiences. An extended abstract might describe a study or research program that is underway but might also describe a pending program of research.
It might outline findings, or it might establish and discuss a research question. It might describe the study’s method or methodology, or it might focus on outcomes and results. It might describe work that is planned, work that is in progress, or work that has been completed.
Accepted extended abstracts will appear in open access DiGRA Digital Library.
PhD Consortium Submission
Selection for the PhD consortium will be based on an extended abstract based on an ongoing PhD research project, with a maximum of 1000 words, excluding references (see Extended Abstract guidelines, above).
They should be submitted to PhD Consortium track, as NON-anonymised PDF, with a short description in the abstract field of the conference management system (there is no need for a doctoral consortium application to have an abstract).
Submissions must use the DiGRA 2023 Submission Template.
Panel
A panel session will typically occupy a single conference session and have a duration of 80 to 90 minutes.
Panel proposals should have a maximum length of 1000 words, excluding references, plus a 100-word biography of each participant.
They should include: the focus or topic of the panel, a description of why the topic will be of interest or relevant to DiGRA attendees, a list of confirmed participants, and a description of their background and expertise.
Panel proposals will be peer-reviewed.
Panels should be submitted as PDFs on DiGRA 2023 Submission Template (optional).
