Submission of paper proposals
The conference offers several possibilities to participate and to present your research and projects to an international audience.
The first option is to collaborate with others before you submit your paper proposal to create a proposed session in which your paper is part. Suggestions for how to contact others with similar interests and research projects are found here. If you are successful at organizing a session then follow the submission instructions below for Session Proposals. If you are successful at becoming part of a panel organized by someone else, follow the instructions below for Individual “Assigned” Paper Proposals.
The second option is to submit a proposal without having determined your fellow panelists. You will be assigned to a panel after you submit your proposal—for this option, see the instructions on Individual “Unassigned” Paper Proposals. Keyword selection is important for all submissions but particularly so for unassigned paper proposals.
The third option is to submit a poster paper proposal.
Duties of Paper Presenters
Once a paper is assigned to a session, either by the Program Committee or Session Organizer, the author is expected to:
-
have a written copy of the paper or detailed description of the presentation one month prior to the meeting
-
circulate the paper or relevant text among the other session participants as directed by the session Chair
-
prepare a public presentation of the paper (simply reading from the paper is not acceptable) or parallel text that conforms to the time constraints and the particular format or approach arranged by the session Chair
-
make a large print version of any material to be distributed in the session for attendees who may be visually impaired
-
in the event a paper author cannot attend, it is expected that they will contact the session chair and the LSA Executive Office to formally withdraw well in advance of the meeting and in time to be replaced. A paper must be presented by its author(s); it may not be presented by another panelists.
Participation Limits
The Program Committee limits conference attendees to no more than two appearances in the program. Serving as paper presenter, roundtable participant, author-meets-reader panelist, or discussant counts as one participation each. Co-authors who do not present are not counted as making an appearance. One participation on a “service panel” may be exempted from the two appearance rule. At least one appearance as a session chair may be exempted from the two-participation rule. For all other requests, there will be no exception to the rule.
Volunteers for chair and/or Discussant Roles
We strongly encourage people to volunteer as chairs and discussants. When serving as a chair or a discussant, you make an invaluable contribution to the program. Please note that at least one service as chair is exempted from the two-participation rule. A specific form for volunteers is available on the Submission Site. The Program Committee will later contact volunteers directly to serve in these roles in sessions organized by the Committee.
Individuals selected to act as Session Chairs on paper panels are expected to inform paper presenters of the format of the session and their obligations as presenters, including:
-
keeping to presentation time limits as set by the Chair
-
preparing their paper for completion one month before the meeting
-
circulating their paper among all session participants
-
making a large print copy of any material to be distributed in the session for attendees who may be visually impaired
