final paper, they just have to be of a certain length, around 2,500-3,000
words. For SACJ, based on the reviews we will short list some of the
abstracts (‘substantial research questions’ is key here and we hope
to be able to see that from the abstract already). The papers of the
short listed abstracts will be peer reviewed (normal SACJ peer reviewing
process), and all or some of them will be invited for submission to SACJ.
