Submission Process

In-person Proposal (30-minute Paper or 60-minute Workshop):

  1. Submit an in-person proposal via the ‘Submit Proposal’ link on this page.
  2. Once a proposal is accepted, the author must submit a paid registration for the Conference. Note that, only one proposal in any format may be accepted per registered presenter, except in the following case:

    An author submits Proposal A for one in-person paper, and submits Proposal B for an additional, co-authored, in-person paper. This author will submit a paid in-person registration for Proposal A, and at least one of her/his Proposal B co-authors must submit a paid in-person registration. The two registrations (for Proposal A and Proposal B) permit both papers to be presented at the Conference and submitted to the Journal. If all of the co-authors of Proposal B are unable to attend, one of the co-authors will need to submit a paid virtual registration in order to submit the paper to the Journal.
  3. Once we receive the necessary paid registration(s), your presentation(s) will be scheduled in the draft program of the Conference. Note that we cannot schedule your session(s) in the program until we receive the paid registration(s). The draft program of the Conference is usually available about 4 weeks prior to the Conference.

In-person Proposal (90-minute Colloquium):

  1. Submit an in-person proposal via the ‘Submit Proposal’ link on this page. Remember, there must be at least 5 participants – for example, 4 presenters and a chairperson. All participants must be listed on the proposal submission form (list as one primary author, and 4 co-authors).
  2. Once the proposal for the colloquium is accepted, each participant must submit a paid registration for the Conference.
  3. Once we receive all participants’ paid registrations, the colloquium will be scheduled in the draft program of the Conference. Note that we cannot schedule the colloquium in the program until we receive all participants’ paid registrations. The draft program of the Conference is usually available about 4 weeks prior to the Conference.

Virtual Proposal:

  1. Submit a virtual proposal via the ‘Submit Proposal’ link on this page.
  2. Once a proposal is accepted, the author must submit a paid registration for the Conference. Note that, only one proposal in any format may be accepted per registered presenter, except in the following case:
    An author submits Proposal A for one virtual paper, and submits Proposal B for an additional, co-authored, virtual paper. This author will submit a paid virtual registration for Proposal A, and at least one of her/his Proposal B co-authors must submit a paid virtual registration. The two registrations (for Proposal A and Proposal B) permit both papers to be submitted to the Journal.
  3. Once we receive the necessary paid registration(s), your paper(s), if accepted, will be published in the Journal. Note that we cannot publish the accepted paper(s) in the Journal until we receive the paid registration(s).
