THE NEW REALITY: CONTINUITY AND CHANGES

FIRST CALL

In line with its mission aimed at the development of education and science, the College of Social Work in Belgrade, in cooperation with the Social Protection Chamber, is organizing the Fourth International Scientific Conference in Speech and language pathology, Occupational therapy, Social work, and from this year also Psychology. The previous acronym of the Conference – ALOS, is changed into ALOPS (inserting “P” for psychology).

As in previous years, this scientific conference provides an opportunity to unite the leading views of domestic and foreign academic scientists and astute practitioners on the topics concerning speech and language pathology, occupational therapy, social work and psychology. Appreciating your previous results in the scientific and professional career, we would like to invite you to join us and contribute to our International Scientific Conference through the exchange of knowledge and experience.

ALOPS21 has been planned as an online conference, but in case of changes in pandemic conditions, we would be glad to see you in person.

For citing a reference with two authors, both authors’ surnames should be used wherever their work is cited (e.g. Ristić & Medenica, 2019).

For citing a reference with three to five authors, the first time all authors are written in the text (e.g. Ristić, Medenica & Đurđević, 2016), and in the following citations the surname of the first author and the abbreviation et al. should be used,  and year of publication separated by comma (e.g. Hulm et al., 2007; Ristić et al., 2016).

For citing a reference with six and more authors, only the surname of the first author and the abbreviation et al. should be used.

In case more references of one or more authors from the same year appear in the text, it is necessary to use lowercase for each of the references after the year of publication, starting with the lowercase a for the source that first appears in the text (e.g. Kiš-Glavaš, 2010a; Kiš-Glavaš, 2010b; Kiš-Glavaš, 2012a,b).
