You are encouraged to submit an abstract or completed paper to be considered for inclusion in the 2010 Annual Meeting at the Marriott Oakland City Center, April 8-11, 2010. Completed papers and extended abstracts may be given more consideration for acceptance than an outline or brief abstract (two or three paragraphs for example).
Deadline for submission is October 15, 2009
Please follow the procedures below.
1) Look through the List of Sessions in the Call for Papers .
2) Select the best session for your submission and submit your completed paper, extended abstract (a two to three page summary of your intended presentation), idea, proposal, or brief abstract to the session organizer listed. ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE MADE ONLINE.
3) If your submission does not fit any of our listed sessions, please select the Session Titled: "Submissions That Don't Fit Any of the Sessions List," in the Online Submission Form (see link below). If you are an undergraduate student, please see the Roundtables for Undergraduates or the Poster Session for Undergraduates in the Call for Papers and in the Online Submission Form link below.
4) Fill out the ONLINE SUBMISSION FORM which includes attaching your submission by locating it on your hard drive through browsing on your hard drive. In addition to providing detailed contact information on yourself as the author of the submission, you will also be asked to provide detailed contact information on all of your co-authors. You will immediately receive a confirmation if your submission is successful. This confirmation indicates only that your submission was sent to the session organizer successfully; it does not mean the session organizer has accepted your submission. If you need to contact the organizer, you may do so either by phone or email, numbers and addresses are listed in the Call for Papers.
5) Do not submit the same work to more than ONE session organizer at the same time.
6) You can submit more than one proposed presentation, but each submission must be submitted to no more than ONE organizer at a time.
7) Special Note to Undergraduate and Graduate Students. The PSA welcomes and encourages participation in our program by undergraduate and graduate students. To best accommodate undergraduate participation, the Program Committee has organized two types of sessions: Undergraduate Roundtable Open Topic Sessions and Undergraduate Poster Sessions. Undergraduate students can submit proposals to only these two types of sessions. Graduate students can submit their work to any listed session in the call for papers, to the Graduate Student Roundtable Session or to the Graduate Student Paper Open Topics Session.
8) If your submission is NOT accepted, the session organizer will inform you. If your paper is not accepted, you can then send it to another session/organizer or to the Program Chair, Karen Sternheimer at sternhei@usc.edu who may be able to find a place for your presentation in the annual program.
