Authors (oral paper)

Objective

Oral communications are geared toward complete and mature works with a developed theoretical framework, empirical design, and results. The purpose is to present the central contribution of the study and to promote a rigorous academic debate that allows for refining the work's interpretation, positioning, and future projection. Each work will receive comments from a previously assigned discussant, in addition, of course, to the session chair and the present audience.

Presentation Time: 12 minutes.
Discussion: 5–6 minutes.

Recommended Structure

1. Research question and motivation.
2. Conceptual framework and empirical design (if applicable).
• Key theoretical logic.
• Data, empirical strategy, and main variables.
3. Main results: central findings and their interpretation.
4. Contribution and scope.
• What the work adds to the literature and/or practice.
• Main implications and limitations.

Expectations

• Focus the presentation on the contribution and interpretation, not on the exhaustive detail of the manuscript.
• Select only the evidence necessary to support the main arguments.
• Clear structure, swift pace, and a limited number of slides (8 as a reference).
• Prepare the presentation for 10 minutes to ensure discussion time.

Role of the Session Chair and Discussants

The chair will control the presentation time and the discussants time, facilitate the interventions, and offer concise feedback oriented toward scientific quality. Furthermore, they will facilitate questions and comments from the audience that help strengthen the study.
