Requests for Edits to this Preliminary Program The information in this document was pulled directly from the abstract submission system. The abstracts were submitted by authors or those working on behalf of the authors of the abstract. If you discover spelling errors that we haven’t found, please let us know! This document will be updated on a weekly basis and as we get closer to the conference almost daily. Send an email to [email protected] referencing the abstract ID of the paper and we will gladly: Correct, add or remove author names. Amend titles - The research must remain that which was submitted, reviewed and accepted, but we’re glad to make updates to the paper title. Update email addresses – many of us have more than one! ACSP prefers to include your university email address, but will include your preference. Correct weird looking characters! In some cases, the translation of text using copy/paste into the abstract system may not have been completely successful. Items in red text – not yet confirmed, and in some cases, require reconfirmation. Requests for Rescheduling of Your Presentation The conference committee and association staff will schedule an anticipated 200-215 sessions for approximately 850 faculty and student presenters in 12-14 time slots over four days with only 14-15 meeting rooms to work with. ACSP Committee Meetings, journal meetings, and other special sessions must also be included in the schedule. We appreciate your understanding of just how difficult it is to make any changes to the schedule once all participants have been notified * A green asterisk next to the paper title indicates a full paper is completed and submitted to conference organizers. and the schedule is posted to the web. Presenters unable to present at the scheduled time must notify the conference management office in writing and withdraw from the program. Your presentation schedule cannot be rearranged. Abstract ID # When submitted to the abstract management system, each abstract is assigned an abstract submission ID number for administrative search/find purposes. This is the number that authors should reference to staff with any questions regarding their abstract, their presentation, or their final paper submission. Order of Authors The abstract management system used by ACSP allows for author role declaration. For paper and poster abstracts - Authors of abstracts are indicated as presenting, primary, or co-authors. The presenting author is always listed first, typically followed by the primary author. No more than eight authors for one paper are included. Roundtables will have an organizer and a moderator. The remaining names listed are confirmed participants of the discussion while anyone in the audience can participate in the discussion. There can be a total of eight names listed for each roundtable. Pre-organized sessions will also have an organizer and some at this point will have a suggested discussant. This suggested discussant has yet to be confirmed and their participation will be verified prior to the schedule of presentations being created. Policy for Presenter’s Registration for the Conference Deadline September 18 A historical policy is enforced – All presenting authors, roundtable participants, and discussants must register by the presenter's registration deadline of September 18. If you don't make this deadline, we expect you are unable to attend the conference and so will remove your presentation from the schedule. Multiple Program Placement Policy Multiple abstract submissions on behalf of one author will be reviewed and may possibly be accepted. However, more than one presentation of a paper and more than one appearance as a roundtable participant during the conference will not be allowed. It is, however, possible to present both a poster and a paper if both proposals are accepted. Participants on the final program will be limited to: one presentation of an individual paper whether in a formed paper session, lightning session, or involved in a pre-organized paper session; one placement on a roundtable; one placement as a discussant of a paper session; and one placement in the poster session. These roles are not interchangeable. If you have more than one submitted paper accepted and are invited to participate on more than one roundtable, in fairness to everyone, we will ask you to limit your participation. * A green asterisk next to the paper title indicates a full paper is completed and submitted to conference organizers. Audio Visual Equipment Available for On-Site Presenters Pre-Set Equipment Podium - no microphone Data projector and screen set in every presentation room. Equipment Assistance Presentation rooms are staffed by student volunteers, but these volunteers are not trained on the use of the equipment. The audio visual company providing the projectors will have limited staff on site to assist with technical difficulty and will be working in more than a dozen different presentation rooms. In other words, we strongly recommend making yourself comfortable with these types of projectors before your arrival. Most of them are standard and simple in operating procedures. The student volunteer will have a radio to call for assistance if necessary. Laptop Protocol and Cables for your Laptop Laptops are NOT provided, nor does the staff have any available to "borrow just for an hour." If you don't have one, be prepared to borrow one from a friend. If you don't have any friends, we will be glad to introduce to people Cables for your laptop – the audio visual company will have a limited supply of cables you may borrow. Please remember to bring your own cables. Mac Users - bring the Dongle adapter to plug into a PC port on the data projector. Internet Access More details coming! Final Paper Submission x 3 by October 2 1) Submit Your Final Paper to Your Session Discussant The name and the email address of your discussant can be found by reviewing the session schedule posted to www.acsp.org in early August and continually updated throughout September. If your discussant is not yet confirmed at the time of the deadline, the conference management office will advise you as soon as the discussant is confirmed and we will ask that you email your paper immediately to the discussant. Some paper sessions are planned to be without a discussant. If you do not send your final paper by the deadline, the discussant has the option of making no comments about your work. 2) Submit Your Final Paper to Other Presenters in Your Session We strongly encourage you to send your final paper to the other presenters in your session, especially if there is not a discussant confirmed. Presenter email addresses can be found in the posted conference schedule. This will enhance and hopefully stimulate discussion after all presentations are made. * A green asterisk next to the paper title indicates a full paper is completed and submitted to conference organizers. 3) Submit Your Final Paper to Conference Organizers - [email protected] - This request of annual conference organizers is in response to considerable concern expressed in recent years about papers being finished extremely late or not at all and presentations lacking because of it. Paper sessions are much stronger when they are supported by full papers. Submitting your final paper in advance to the conference organizers will help ensure sessions are successful. The 2017 print program and conference app will indicate that your final paper is available to conference attendees upon request. Remember! Sending the final paper to [email protected] does not get your paper to your discussant. Send it separately to the discussant. Please submit your final conference paper using the form below NO LATER THAN 5 P.M. EST ON October 2. Use the email address: [email protected] Title the paper: Abstract #: _ _ _ /Presenting Author's Last Name. The Abstract # for every paper can be found in the conference schedule and in the conference app schedule. PowerPoint presentation files are not considered final papers. If you are unable to make the October 2 deadline, please do finish your paper in advance of the conference. You can of course still present that paper if a final edited version isn’t finished. It just won't be noted in the conference program as having been finished prior to October 2. We suggest letting the audience in your session know the paper is available and they can use the conference app messaging system (or a direct email message to you) to ask for the paper. Final Paper Format Although there are no official guidelines on the format of your full paper, please submit your paper as an attachment to an email. Microsoft Word is probably the most widely used and readily accessible software format - we suggest you use this software and a very common font, or save your file as a PDF. We do recommend a 20-page limit as discussants only have as much time in their day as you do, and we ask them to pre-read 3-5 papers prior to the conference.
