  1. 1.    INTRODUCTION

  • What factors (e.g., stakeholders, timelines, underlying issues) should be considered in developing a recommendation?
  • What recommendation(s) are you making?
  • How will you support your recommendations in your study?

 

 

Major headings are typed bold in 12pt upper case (capital letters), with two lines space above and below. Text should be justified (extend to the right-hand margin) and be typed to fill the full depth of the text area. Please, use a single-spaced 12pt Times New Roman typeface.

  • Examine the problem being faced—what are the contributing factors?
  • Show us the steps you’ve used to reach your recommendation and implementation plan.
  • How do METHODS / CONCEPTS apply to the case?

 

Outline the METHODS / CONCEPTS used in your study here.

 

2.1.  Minor headings

  • Next, explain your Action Plan, including:
    • Who will be responsible for what part of the action plan?
    • When will the different parts of the recommendation be implemented? Short-, medium-, and long-term action plan?
    • What will the cost be of these required actions?
    • What will the impact of this recommendation be on other parts of the COMMUNITY?

Figures and tables must be numbered. Figures and tables captions must be centered in 12 pt with small caps. Captions with figure numbers must be placed after their associated figures, as shown in Figure 1. Captions with table numbers must be placed before their associated tables, as shown in Table I.

 

  1. 4.    CONCLUSION

 

  • What have you told us? Remind us what the most important point of your STUDY is.
  • Succinctly restate your recommendation and tie in these two points:
    • Why should they implement your recommendations?
    • What will be the outcome if the recommendations are implemented successfully? (What will the benefits be?)

 

Present your conclusions here (and do not use any graphs, figure or table). If you use any references, please give them with authors’ surname and date (Kemal and Sen, 2011). That means that references should be listed in alphabetical order (Yueng, 2015). Journal articles as depicted in the example below should conform to the standard Vancouver style of punctuation, and abbreviations (Kang et al., 2017).

 

Finally, please ensure that you keep within the word limits. The text of your extended abstract should not exceed 4 pages (including all texte and references).

We are looking forward to seeing you at the RTDD 2020.
