A: If the words “case study” come easily to mind when describing your proposal, it may be more appropriate as a demonstration than as a paper. Papers should not focus on a single project and its results, but rather include comparative analysis of a number of projects, even if a single “case study” is the starting point for the wider survey. By the same token, the results or findings of a project in a paper should be reported in a way that they can be reused or inform future projects. In other words, papers should have a wider applicability beyond reporting on a single case study in isolation from the rest of the field.
If, on the other hand, your work has so far revolved around a single project or case study, the demonstration format is a great place to present your results and start to collect information on similar or related projects towards developing a comparative analysis and paper for next year!
