PRESENTER GUIDELINES

Poster and Oral Presentation Guidelines

For detailed info, check here.



Presentation Issues

If you would like to present a lecture or poster, please submit an abstract of your presentation for Organizing Committee to review. The submission guidelines and an online submission form are elsewhere at this website.

The Organizing Committee will review all abstracts and invite the author(s) to make an oral or poster presentation at the conference. The oral/poster/reject decision is at the discretion of the Committee.

The abstract submission deadline is
August 1, 2003 Accepted abstracts will be announced by the end of September 2003.

All presentations must contain original and scientifically valid information. Reports on completed research are favored over descriptions of planned research. Commercial promotion and funding requests are not appropriate.

Presenters must comply with the Presenter Agreement Form and the
Faculty Disclosure Form (required for CME Approval) downloadable in PDF format here.

We normally publish each submitted abstract in the conference syllabus. If you request, we can omit your abstract and/or contact information from the conference syllabus. Please see the abstract submission page for the relevant form. Please note that the publication agreement does not refer to the Proceedings volume published by CyberPsychology and Behavior.

A initial presentation schedule will be sent to presenters in late October 2003 and revised as necessary thereafter. We ask presenters to notify us promptly if the scheduled presentation time conflicts with travel plans, etc. We try to accommodate the schedule needs of all our presenters; please understand that a perfect resolution aren't always possible, however, with so many people presenting.


Registration Issues

Presenters must register for the conference. There is a limit of two (2) presentations per presenter/registration.

Registrations are transferable to another presenter at any time. However, only one presenter per presentation may register at the presenter discounted rate. Please notify us of any presenter changes as soon as possible so we can update conference materials.

We request a paid conference registration from all presenters by
December 15, 2003. (This verifies that the presenter will, in fact, be attending.) If a presenter cannot pay in advance, he/she should contact us so a special arrangement can be made. If a presenter does not submit advance registration AND does not make special arrangements, then he/she will be deleted from the program. (We will assume the presenter will not be attending.)

CyberPsychology and Behavior, a scientific journal indexed by Medline, PsycInfo and Social Sciences Citation Index will publish the Proceedings as special issue.

Authors submitting papers to the issue will be asked to simultaneously submit a paid conference registration.

Please note that the student registration is intended for full-time students only.
