Submissions

There are five SCCR submission format choices for 2011.

A "Paper" session is a grouping of several independent 15-minute (minimum) oral presentations on a general theme, given in front of an audience. The conference Program Committee will group accepted papers together based on similarity of topics.

A "Poster" session is a grouping of several individual FACULTY or STUDENT poster presentations (each tacked onto a 3' X 4' cardboard poster board supplied by SCCR at the conference). Other attendees will browse through the posters at a session and may talk with the presenter one-on-one. No electric power will be available for posters.

A "Symposium" will consist of 3-5 (maximum = 5) oral 15-minute presentations (a maximum of an hour and 15 minutes), and an integrative commentary by 1 discussant (maximum), given in front of an audience on a theme chosen by the symposium's organizer. Double symposium sessions will be considered.

A "Panel Discussion" is the same overall length as a symposium, but the oral presentations will be shorter, leaving much of the session time for a wide-ranging discussion within the panel and with the audience.

A "Conversation Hour" will consist of 1-2 speakers on one general topic, who will give brief oral presentations about their shared topic and engage in an in-depth and informal dialogue with the audience.

A "Symposium" will consist of oral presentations (usually 3-5) and an integrative commentary by a discussant, given in front of an audience on a theme chosen by the symposium's organizer. The length of a symposium is limited to one hour and fifteen minutes, so that the number of presentations limits their duration. For some topics a "double" symposium, with a two and one half hour duration and 6 to 10 speakers including a discussant, will be considered.

Notifications of accepted papers will be e-mailed to first authors and session organizers by December 10, 2010. Those who absolutely need an earlier decision, e.g., without which they would not be able to secure travel funds, should indicate so in a message to sccr2011@wfu.edu, and we will attempt to make a decision within two weeks.

We thank our 2011 program committee and local origanizing committee members.

SASci and AAACIG will have their own Submission procedures.
