Submission Review and Publication

All applicants are required to submit an abstract (300-400 words) for review. Every submission will be reviewed by the APSMER academic committee in a double-blind review process.

Please note that there is a two-stage process in determining papers to be published in the Conference Proceedings:

(1) Abstract Review: All abstract submissions will be screened and considered for inclusion into the Conference as a presentation. All authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit their full paper (1800-3000 words) regardless of the presentation category.

(2) Full Paper Peer Review: Full papers that conform to submission guidelines listed below and submitted within the deadline will also undergo a peer reviewing process. Only papers that demonstrate distinguished academic quality will be selected to be published in the Conference Proceedings (which has an ISBN).

Multiple Submission Policy

No individual will be permitted to present in more than a total of TWO Paper, Poster, Workshop, or Panel Discussion, and depending on the number of submissions, the Conference Organizers reserves the right to further limit the number of presentations accepted for any individuals.

Abstract for Peer Review

Complete paper submissions (max. 3000 words) are only required for presenters who wish to have a refereed paper for publication in the Conference proceedings. The paper cannot have more than two (2) tables and/or figures, needs to follow the APA format, and should be prepared using MS word. Please be sure to use the APSMER provided templates found on the conference website for submissions.
