Submission types:

We accept submissions of individual papers and posters as well as symposia and roundtables. If you submit an individual paper presentation, we will do our best to group your presentation with others with similar themes in a symposium.

Presentation Requirements:

R-PAS must be the focus of the presentation. Multimethod assessment should inform all presentations. Case presentations are required to have conducted a multimethod assessment. All research presentations must include a practice-oriented component regarding how the results can inform multimethod assessment. We hope to have a balance between research and case presentations.

Author Requirements:

For research presentations, authorship requires substantial involvement in the study planning and/or execution. For case presentations, authorship requires either being the presenter, an assessor for the case, or a primary consultant. All authors must approve the final Abstract prior to submission.

For questions about these requirements, you can contact us at info@r-pas.org. We expect to have the review committee up and running soon, and then they will be the point people.
