Paper Submission Guidelines

To be considered for presentation at the 27th Colloquium, please submit an original, unpublished paper in the field of Cybersecurity Education by August 15, 2023. Parallel submissions are not accepted, but articles on pre-press or personal sites are not excluded.

Proceedings will be published online and selected papers will also be published in our annual Journal. Papers that have been presented at the 27th Colloquium will also be considered for further development and publication.

Papers should present a well-formed and capably written idea, which advances the field of cybersecurity, and which is adequately contextualized and sufficiently supported by the literature. The implications for general application should be clear as well as their advantage and importance to the at-large purposes of the field. Conclusions should be supported by analytic means, either empirical or subjectively derived through commonly accepted methods. Graphic, or tabular support is encouraged.

Generative AI and other automated methods for producing papers and research should be disclosed in the paper itself as part of the initial submission for peer review, though applications and processes will not be granted authorship.

Sponsorship Opportunities

The annual Colloquium on Information Systems Security Education (CISSE) represents a unique opportunity to present your organization in a highly focused manner not to the geeks, who are interested in Cybersecurity, but to the Uber-Geeks who teach Cybersecurity. These members of CISSE, along with members who are care about how that education is made, have been meeting together for 27 years to figure out how to teach those things which are hard to teach. Put your tools into their hands and let them know how you can support their mission.
