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).
