TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL FOR AN "UNASSIGNED" INDIVIDUAL PAPER

 
Note: AllAcademic, a third-party vendor, manages the submission site for electronic proposal submissions. There are a number of advantages, both for the program organizers and participants, in using this service. Their software generates automated emails to acknowledge your log-in and submissions and will include important information.  These emails will have “@allacademic.com” as the return address. Please take care to assure that they are not captured in your spam-filter.

Use the Search mechanism to find your co-author in the submission database. If his/her name does not come up, your co-author needs to log into the LSA "User Services" site. After logging in, your co-author can then click on the link to the Proposal Submission Site (in the left menu), and their name will be drawn into the submission site immediately.  If they do not click on that, it will take "overnight" for their information to be drawn in. You will then be able to add them.

If a co-author will not be presenting or will not be attending the meeting, indicate “non-presenting” author. The author(s) that will present the paper should be marked “presenting.”

There must be at least one “presenting” author. A paper must be presented by an author of that paper.
