HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR PREPARING SUBMISSIONS BEFORE STARTING THE SUBMISSION PROCESS

2025 SUBMISSIONS - STEP BY STEP

STEP 1. (Track) - This year, you will submit according to the review category (indicated as "Track" in the submission system) that best fits your proposal. If you are submitting a workshop, choose the Workshop track. 

STEP 2. (Format) - Once you have selected your submission track (review category), you will be asked to select your submission type (i.e., workshop, symposium, integrated symposium, moderated discussion, paper, poster, in-the-pipeline poster).

STEP 3. (Title) - On this page, please enter the title of your proposal (e.g., if you are submitting a symposium, the title should be your symposium session title, not an individual paper title).

STEP 4. (Authors) - The person marked as the corresponding author will receive all communication regarding the submission, including confirmation of your submission being received into the system and the decision notification. The same person in a given submission may be designated as the presenting and corresponding author.

PAPERS & GENERAL/IN-THE-PIPELINE POSTERS, please add your author(s). The presenting author will receive the presenting author designation in the online program. The person responsible for receiving communication regarding your submission should be marked as the corresponding author. Any instructor may be marked as the presenting author.

WORKSHOPS, please add your instructor(s). The person responsible for receiving communication regarding your submission should be marked as the corresponding author. Any instructor may be marked as the presenting author.

MODERATED DISCUSSIONS, please add your moderator and panelists (the moderator should receive the "presenting author" and "corresponding author" designation). 

SYMPOSIA & INTEGRATED SYMPOSIA, please add your organizer, discussant, and presenting authors for each individual paper (the organizer should receive the "presenting author" designation). The corresponding author is usually the session organizer. Later in the submission process, you will be asked to enter author details for each individual paper contained within the submission, including co-authors. Symposium and Integrated Symposium submitters will have the opportunity to add additional authors later in the submission process.

STEP 5. (Topics) - On this step, please select one (1) primary conference section. Failing to select one (1) section, either by skipping this question or selecting multiple sections, will prevent your submission from being assigned to reviewers. Please also choose 1-3 keywords to be used as part of the search feature in the online program.

WORKSHOPS, on this step, you will only have the option to indicate that your submission is a workshop.

STEP 6. (Additional Information) - You will encounter the following questions on this step:

Q1) Please select the second most applicable conference section for your submission. If you are a workshop, you should skip the Secondary Conference Section question.

Q2) All submitters should upload an unmasked PDF abstract of their submission. This version of your abstract will appear on the online program if your submission is accepted for presentation and the Copyright Release you choose allows us to share it. This version of your abstract should include identifiable information. You will upload a masked version of your abstract that will be used for review on the last step of the submission process.

Q3) Please indicate the Copyright Release for your submission. This decision will affect whether or not your abstract displays in the online program if your submission is accepted for presentation.

Q4) Please indicate your willingness to serve as a paper session chair at this year's conference.

Q5) Please acknowledge that you understand conference registration expectations and requirements.

Q6) Please let us know if you have a scheduling conflict for anyone with an active role (i.e., presenting author, organizer, discussant, moderator, panelist) in your submission and the date of that conflict.
