intent to submit

6 to 7 months before conference

Notify speakers to submit their 'intent to submit a manuscript' form

Alert speakers that they should return the form declaring their intent to submit a manuscript to ICB.

Authors may request an exemption. Please note that SICB will only waive or reimburse the registration fee for symposium speakers who have submitted a manuscript.

SICB will notify you about any presenters who chose to request an exemption.

Please help ICB reach its target of at least 8 manuscripts per symposium by (1) inviting presenters from the complementary sessions to submit a manuscript, (2) inviting presenters to submit multiple manuscripts or (3) writing collaborative manuscripts on the symposium topic such as reviews and perspectives, and (4) developing vignette-style articles from symposium-affiliated activities, such as workshops or round table discussion.

Keep taps on your presenters' intent to submit manuscripts

Fill out the forms the ICB editorial office will send to you (such as the ‘Intent to submit’ form) and communicate changes in your presenters' publication plans to the managing editor of ICB (Suzanne Miller, email: icbjournal@sicb.org). Inform the editor of any changes in these plans up to the time of paper submission.

If any of your presenters are not in a position to submit a manuscript as the corresponding author, please reach out to the ICB editor to discuss options and alternative arrangements. ICB publishes a wide range of article types to meet the needs of diverse scholarly endeavors and knowledge sharing. We at ICB are supportive of non-academic knowledge experts and are dedicated to including their expertise in their voice in the academic literature. ICB aims to facilitate the sharing of knowledge created by the SICB community and its collaborators.

Dear all,

Thank you again for agreeing to present at our symposium [symposium title] or at one of its complementary sessions.

SICB will reimburse your conference registration fee after you have submitted a manuscript to ICB. If you are considering not to submit a manuscript, please reach out to us before you do, so we can explore possibilities for how ICB might help you publish your expertise. ICB is happy to discuss custom manuscript types that might better suit your voice and your expertise. ICB offers a wide range of article formats to authors and is also happy to offer workshops on scholarly publishing if there is enough interest.
