Please Note
HARC provides participants with access to accepted papers prior to presentations to enhance discussion and engagement. These papers are shared through the conference program and are removed from University of Hawaiʻi servers after January, helping avoid potential conflicts with journal policies. By submitting a paper, authors agree to have it included and accessible within the HARC program.
