If you have scheduling limitations, please email them to Tristanne Staudt at tstaudt@appam.org. Do not include scheduling limitations in the description or abstract fields of the submission systems as they are unlikely to be seen and will not be honored. Please limit scheduling requests to reasons of great importance including religious observances, medical needs or international travel limitations. Scheduling over 300 sessions is very challenging and requires many sessions to be scheduled during non-preferred time slots, we are not able to accommodate scheduling requests due to family matters or work/class schedules.

Yes, you may submit as many proposals as you wish. However, you may only present up to two papers at the conference. If you submit more than two proposals, the others must be co-authored and a co-author must be willing and available to present the work at the conference if more than two of your proposals are accepted.

Yes, APPAM accepts single paper submissions. But did you know that fully formed panels have a much better chance of being accepted for inclusion in the Fall Research Conference? To help submitters create fully formed panels, APPAM has created the Single Paper Listing for Panel Creation resource. Single papers are listed with your submitter’s contact information. APPAM encourages submitters to reach out to each other to try to create a fully formed panel. If you find a paper you would like to add to a panel, contact the submitter and see if they are interested in being part of the panel. Alternately, if you submit a single paper, others might contact you to see if you are interested in joining a panel. The page is updated every Wednesday and we strongly encourage you to use this important resource.

If you submitted a single paper that you now want to use as part of a panel, you need to withdraw the paper and resubmit it as part of the panel. Papers cannot be submitted twice.

You can email Tristanne Staudt, tstaudt@appam.org, directly with your question.

Great question!  Any super session submissions not accepted as that session type, will be considered for a smaller roundtable session during the conference.

We are currently planning for the conference to be held in-person with very limited opportunities for virtual presentation.  When submitting your proposal, you will be asked to note your presentation preference.  Please note that virtual presenation proposals will only be reviewed with other virtual presentation proposals.  Given the limited opportunities for these sessions, the acceptance rate is expected to be much lower than that for in-person presentation.

Of course, we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and will keep everyone apprised of any changes to the conference format.

Updated for 2021, now every participant listed in a submission will be notified when a proposal is succesfully submitted to the conference.  Please note that if you have multiple roles in a submission, (contact and presenting author, organizer and speaker, organizer and discussant, etc.), you will receive a confirmation email for each role.  

If you have any questions about an email you received, please contact Samantha Oliver Thomason, soliver@appam.org. 

We will be contacting all participants included in submissions to add demographic information to their participant profile. This information will confidential and only used by APPAM staff to accurately measure the progress the association has made in their diversity and inclusion efforts. The specific information is completely voluntary and will not impact a submission’s confirmation, review, or acceptance.

The demographics being requested are: age, gender, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation.  Each field will include an 'Other' and 'Prefer not to say' option.
