Submissions will open on October 1, 2011.


SWPA, Psi Chi, SWToP, and SAMR submissions will close on November 30th at 11:59:59 PM.  SCPA abstracts are due by Dec 31 at 11:59:59 PM.

---------------------------------------------------

All abstracts (SWPA and all affiliate organizations) will use the online abstract submission process.  

All authors and co-authors for SWPA abstracts must be current dues-paid members of SWPA (full, student, or associate) in the database at the time of abstract submission.  Your dues status will be shown after you login.   Follow the instructions on the web pages "Create New Profile" and "Pay Dues and Registration" prior to going through the "Submit Abstract" steps.  (Convention registration does not need to be paid prior to abstract submission.)  Authors cannot be added after the deadline due to non-payment by the deadline.

Authors / co-authors for abstract submissions to affiliate organizations (Psi Chi, SAMR, SCPA, TPA, SWToP) can be SWPA members or non-members.  Depending on the organization, they may not need to be SWPA dues current in order to submit abstracts to the affiliate organizations.  See affiliate organization submission guidelines for their member requirements (e.g. you must be a member of Psi Chi in order to submit Psi Chi abstracts, SWPA members can automatically submit to SWToP).

Note: if you want to take advantage of the bundle discount for SWPA member dues and registration ($5 decrease in dues), then both must be paid at once prior to the SWPA abstract submission deadline.  Even without the bundle, SWPA dues-plus-registration costs ($75 regular members, $50 associate members, and $40 student members) are lower than non-member registration costs ($90).


After logging in as a member or a non-member, follow the online steps for abstract submission.  There will be a step to indicate the organization to which you desire your abstract to be submitted (SWPA, Psi Chi, SAMR, SCPA, TPA, SWToP), and the program chair for that organization will receive your abstract for review.  The SWPA program chair will coordinate with the affiliate organization chairs to build the final program for the SWPA convention.

Prior to submitting your abstract, make sure you have read and followed the submission guidelines posted on this web site.  Different types of presentations (talks/posters, symposia, SWPA competitions) have different abstract guidelines.  All Psi Chi submissions should follow the guidelines for the regular SWPA talks and posters, not for the SWPA student competitions (which have much longer required abstract lengths).
