Paper/Poster Submission Policies
- Submissions must reflect original work or major developments in previously reported work. Papers are NOT eligible if 1. They are published prior to the meeting or accepted for publication before being submitted, or 2. Modified in only secondary respects after presentation or publication.
- You may elect to submit either full papers (15-30 pages) or extended abstracts (3-5 pages including tables and figures). Final paper for selected abstracts will be due by May 15, 2024.
- Extended Abstracts must be sufficiently detailed to allow organizers to judge the merits of the paper. Typically, extended abstracts consist of a statement of research question (and underlying theoretical aspects, if appropriate), the data and research methods, and preliminary findings. They should be able to persuade the organizers that researchers are able to complete the paper before they present their work.
- You are free to revise the extended abstract until the last date of abstract submission.
- Presenting and non-presenting authors (if applicable) must be accurately reflected in the submission.
- Presenting authors are required to register for and attend the conference.
