Abstract: These guidelines provide instructions to format your full paper for DRS2016. Please write directly into the template or copy your finished text into it choosing ‘match destination formatting’. Please use the predefined formatting styles instead of applying your individual settings. These styles are preceded with ‘X’, such as X Paper Title, X Abstract or X Paragraph. Do not change the predefined formatting settings in this document as the aim is to produce the conference proceedings, the conference programme, and other important information, using a consistent style. The Abstract should be no more than 150 words and one paragraph only. Avoid quotation and citing references in your abstract. The deadline to submit your full paper is midnight on 9th November 2015. Submit your paper to the conference review system at https://www.conftool.pro/drs2016. This abstract is 141 words and this template is 1552 words. [this paragraph is formatted as X Abstract]

Keywords: maximum 4 keywords; paper format; instructions; use of template [the keywords are formatted as X Keywords]

1. Introduction [this is formatted as X Heading 1]

All full paper submissions for DRS2016 will be selected through a double blind review process conducted by an international review panel. Please read these guidelines all the way through before you submit your full paper as they will save you valuable time. If English is not your first language please ensure that a fluent speaker proofreads your paper or use a proof reading service such as Scribendi (http://www.scribendi.com). [X Paragraph]

You should submit your initial paper in PDF format using this template. Full papers should be up to 5000 words in length excluding abstract and references. DRS2016 is a general design research conference and it is expected that a wide variety of work and projects will be reported. Irrespective of the range and stage of your research, we expect high standards of scholarship and clarity in terms of establishing context, explicating methods of inquiry, and reporting results.

Full papers may also be more experimental in nature to present design research that might, for example, include a textual narrative alongside more visually-oriented, time-based, or networked material. It is important that, whatever media are used, a coherent narrative is developed and the purpose of non-text media is explained. This template format should still form the basis of such a submission, with reference to large media files made through external weblinks (see Section 3.2).

All accepted papers will be published in the online proceedings which will have an ISSN number and be made accessible from the DRS2016 website before the conference. Following the conference papers will be given a DOI reference to ensure they are picked up in scholarly web-searches. We aim to produce conference proceedings of a professional and consistent quality, and appreciate you carefully following the instructions outlined in this guide.

This template document itself uses the same formatting as required for the Conference so your full paper should appear visually very similar. You can access template styles for Titles, paragraphs, and other styles directly from the Quick Style Menu that is part of the Home Menu in Word. You can either write directly into the template or paste your finished text into it and choose ‘match destination formatting’ in the pop-up menu that appears when you paste in text. Do not change the predefined formatting settings in this document (such as paper size, orientation, margins, typeface, size, indents, spacing, headings, etc.).

2. How your paper will be reviewed

Peer review is central to ensuring both the quality of papers published in the proceedings and the quality of material that is presented at the conference. Your paper will be reviewed anonymously by two people and managed by a review sub-chair. Reviewers will be asked to construct their reviews in the following way and you should keep this in mind when writing and proofreading your paper:

Start your review by summarising the paper in a few sentences. This helps chairs remember what the paper was about and reassures authors that their paper has been understood; [X Bullet list]

State whether the paper is relevant to the conference and mention any particular conference themes that you think it fits well with (see www.drs2016.org for the conference themes);

Comment on the strengths of the paper and also it’s main weaknesses.

Constructively suggest how the paper might be improved;

List any minor errors that need correction;

Your review is a piece of communication (both to the authors and the review chairs). It should be clearly written, well structured, factual and polite.

Reviewers will score your paper on a scale of 1 to 10 and recommend one of three outcomes:

Accept; [X Numbered list]

Revise;

Reject.

Authors will be informed of the outcome but won’t be notified of their scores. It is the task of the reviewing sub-chair to resolve any reviews that conflict with one another and make recommendations to the review committee about decision outcomes. On receiving their outcome notification Authors will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the quality of the reviews they’ve have had.

3. Completing your paper submission

3.1 General Guidelines [X Heading 2]

The sections of your paper should be numbered, though not go deeper than one sub-section (i.e. Section 2.1 is fine but Section 2.2.1 is not).

Tables should be formatted as Table 1 (below): left justified text for first column and centred columns thereafter, if possible. Only horizontal table grid lines should be used. Add one empty paragraph of the [X Paragraph] style following a table.

Table 1	Table layout. Captions for Tables are placed above. [X Table title].

Table Rows [X Table]	Cell one	Cell two
Second Row	1	2
Third Row	2	3
Fourth Row	4	5

Short quotations within the text should be marked with double quotation marks: Lawson also has a broad understanding of design when he mentions: “Professional designers such as architects, fashion designers and engineers” (Lawson, 2004, p.5). Longer quotations of more than one line should be formatted as below, again within double quotation marks:

“More of the goods and services produced for consumer across a range of sectors can be conceived of as ‘cultural’ goods, in that way they are deliberately inscribed with to generate desire for then amongst the end uses sold to consumers in terms of particular clusters of meaning indicates the increased importance of ‘culture’ to production circulation of a multitude of goods and services.” (du Gay, et al, 1997, p.24) [X Long quotation]

For lists of material you can either use a bulleted list:

Design; [X Bullet list]

Research;

Society.

Or a numbered list:

Future; [X Numbered list]

Focused;

Thinking.

3.2 Referencing

Referencing should follow the APA, Author-date, Style Guide that is explained on slides 13-25 of the following presentation: http://tinyurl.com/pjhs6f3.

To allow double blind peer review it is very important that you do not include authors’ names or institutional details in the review version of the paper, you can add these later if your paper is accepted.

Double blind reviewing also means that you need to anonymise any reference to your own publications. Citations of your own work in the main text should take the form (Author, 2015). References to your own work should be presented at the end of the list in the following way (this for a journal article, for example, but equally for other forms of publication):

Author (2012). Journal article

Links to web addresses over 25 characters in length (either in the main text or in the references) should first be shortened using TinyURL (http://tinyurl.com) for purposes of neatness.

If you use reference management software such as EndNote or Word Citation & Bibliography make sure that you submit your paper with the fields unlinked to your bibliographical database.

3.3 Use of Visual Material

Please think carefully about the presentation of any visual material. As the proceedings will be published in digital form you have the opportunity to include good quality colour images or other media files that help to present your research and its context.

Where possible please make images:

Large enough to see clearly;

Of good resolution (200dpi);

Optimised to be less than 350Kb;

Cropped appropriately.

If you are using diagrams, info graphics, or other schematics please ensure that:

You present information clearly;

You use the Calibri font;

All text is legible;

After you insert an image into your document, select it and use the style named [X Picture]. Images are followed by a caption with figures numbered sequentially – Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.

Figure 1	Captions are placed under the pictures. Ensure that your caption adequately describes what you want your reader to see in the picture, highlighting any areas that they should focus on or relationships that you might want them to see. [X Caption].

4. Submitting your paper

In preparing your paper for DRS2016 please note the following:

We are aiming to produce a high-quality conference proceedings. Please follow as closely as possible this template structure and associated style guidelines;

Your initial full paper submission should be in PDF format. Should your paper be accepted final submissions will be in Word format only to allow us to prepare the conference proceedings;

Please register an account and submit your full paper at: https://www.conftool.pro/drs2016;

Please make sure you can answer ‘yes’ to all the following questions:

Is the context of the work clearly described?

Is the contribution that is made clearly stated?

Does the paper conform to the paper template?

Has the paper been independently proof read?

Your paper should be submitted to one of three categories:

The Open DRS2016 Call, for general submissions in any area of Design Research.

An Additional Theme (to see a full list of additional themes see http://www.drs2016.org/additional-themes/)

A DRS Special Interest Group (to see a list of the DRS SIGs see http://www.drs2016.org/special-interest-groups/)

If you submit your paper to the open call you will be prompted to tick a number of topic areas that best fit your research. This will allow the DRS2016 review committee to allocate suitable reviewers to your paper. All Additional Themes and Special Interest Groups will be managed by a sub-chair, who will allocate reviewers and make recommendations about acceptance to the review committee. The review committee will oversee the process to ensure consistency across all submissions.

Acknowledgements: this section is optional. You can use this section to acknowledge support you have had for your research from your colleagues, student’s participation, internal or external partners’ contribution or funding bodies. [X Acknowledgments]
