Answer: MABRC is an annual global networking event organised by Australian Academy of Business Research (AABR).

Answer: By attending an MABRC, you can get dual publication opportunities; your abstract will be published in the ‘Conference Proceedings’ and you can publish your papers in the journals associated with the conference. Your paper will also be included in the ‘Best Paper Award’ competition. Your paper will be professionally edited and formatted before publishing in a journal.

Answer: MABRC is open to all academics, students and practitioners, business personnel or an independent researcher.

Answer: Yes, you can attend at MABRC as an observer or as a poster presenter if you express an interest by completing the ‘Contact Us’ form. Such expression of interest will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and a letter of invitation will be issued based on applicant’s personal strength or his/her organisational affiliation. However, the decision of the authority will be final.

Answer: To participate at MABRC, you can submit just an abstract before the deadline. This is because you want to present your research idea at an international gathering to get feedback, make collaboration and networking. There is no need to submit a full paper to the conference. You can submit a full paper at the same time or before the full paper submission deadline for any of the reasons below:

• You want to get feedback on your paper.
• You want your paper to be included in the ‘Best Paper Award’ competition.
• You want to publish your paper in an affiliated journal with the conference.

Answer: Yes, you can make a virtual presentation even after arriving in the United States. You can do it from your place of intended stay in Australia.  Please note that, a virtual presenter will not get a ‘name badge’ and a ‘certificate of attendance’. 

Answer: An acceptance letter or a rejection email is given for all submitted abstracts/full papers to MABRC participants. Please check your junk mail folder if you have not heard anything. If you routinely check your junk mail folder and don’t see any communications from us, please send us an inquiry by completing the ‘Contact Us‘ form.

Answer: A single author can submit up to 4 abstracts/full papers. However, the authority reserves the right to make a variation of this matter on a case-by-case basis.

Answer: Please see the ‘Accomodations’ page of the conference for details of the accommodations.

Answer: If any of your co-authors intends to attend as well, s/he must also register. There is a registration category for a ‘co-author’.

Answer: Registration will include arrival tea/coffee, morning and afternoon tea/coffee and packet/buffet lunch during the day of presentations only.

Answer: Attendance for a conference dinner is optional. However, please be aware that the ‘Best Paper Awards’ and Certificates (if any) may be handed over during the conference dinner.

Answer: There are many ways to get discounts:

• Refer your colleague to the conference and both the attendees get a 10% discount.
• If 5 authors of the same or different papers register in a group, they can save a huge amount. Please see the ‘Fee Schedule’ page for fee information.

Answer: In general, you can make a request. Approval will be given based on the merit of the case.

Answer: In general, we do not allow this, and special consideration is given on a case-by-case basis.

Answer: No, you will have to carry your PowerPoint presentation in USB/Flash drive.

Answer: Yes, if your full paper is accepted to MABRC, it means that your paper is also accepted in an affiliated journal. However, if you want to have it published, you need to follow the author guidelines before submitting it to a conference and comply with reviewers’ suggestions after review. There may be a separate fee for publication in a journal.

Answer: Yes, this can be done if you inform us in advance. You can find a person by yourself to have it presented or we can do it from our side.

You can also either choose to make an online presentation or transfer your paper to another conference which will be held within 1 year.

Answer: Only abstract of the papers will be included in the online conference proceedings.

Answer: Yes, you can publish your paper(s) in an affiliated journal without attending a conference. Please visit the respective journal’s submission page on this matter.

Answer: There is no submission fee. However, there is an acceptance fee of US$100.  This fee will cover managing the submission of your paper, setup costs, other “first-copy” costs of your paper; the cost of archiving your paper in the issue of the journal at the journal website; language editing and journal specific formatting of your paper. This fee will be waived only for solicited papers presented at MABRC.

Answer: Yes, we provide a ‘Peer Review Report’ on all registered full papers for re-submission to an affiliated journal.

Answer: Yes, you can. AABR does not hold the copyright on the paper submitted to MABRC.

Answer: AABR does not provide any fund to any participant to attend its conference.

Answer: You generally cannot change your mind, as immediately after receiving your full paper and completed registration, your paper joins the publication queue. If you would like to withdraw that paper for any compliance requirement, there will be an admin processing fee of US$100.

Answer: MABRC does NOT give registration fees refund either in full or in part. Please decide carefully before making your registration. If your visa application is denied, you can either choose to make an online presentation or transfer your paper to another conference which will be held within 1 year.
