May I submit after the deadline?
Posters may be submitted until August 17, 2007. All other formats may be
submitted until August 24, 2007. No submissions will be accepted after these
deadlines.
Is the information I enter into the submission website saved?
Yes, if you click on the “update” buttons at the bottom of submission
webpages.
For symposia and innovative sessions, can other participants enter
information through the submission website?
Yes, but only if you share your login and password with them.
What if I want to change information I have entered into the submission
website?
Until you finalize your submission, you may edit it at any time.
Where do I find my submission ID number?
This unique number that identifies your submission throughout the
submission and review process appears on the submission website pages and on
the confirmation page that you print out once your submission is finalized.
Should I have received a confirmation message when I finalized my
submission?
Yes. Please contact the SRA Program Office within 24 hours of finalizing
your submission if you do not receive a confirmation email message.
For symposia, will exceptions be made to the rule that the total of
presentations and discussants may not exceed four?
For all symposia formats—Paper, Poster, Student Poster, and Innovative Session: Roundtable Discussion—no exceptions will be made to the maximum presenter rules. While we realize that the limits for symposia reflect a change from past practice, we are sorry to say that we cannot accommodate any exceptions to the current policy for the following reasons. First, there is a firm commitment on the part of SRA to explore the effect of presenter limits on audience participation, since we believe that presentations will benefit from greater audience participation and discussion. Second, we cannot make exceptions on an ad hoc basis and do so fairly. Thus, since the time formerly given to an additional speaker is now to be sued for audience participation and moderated discussion, w e hope that you understand and see the value in having your symposium benefit from an engaged, participating audience.
What is an integrative statement? How does it differ from a summary? Is it
mandatory?
The required integrative statement for a symposium should describe the
symposium focus/content and briefly state how each of the individual
presentations relates and contributes to it. The individual presentation
summary describes only research/information/material that presentation will
cover. The integrative statement is required for all symposia.
File uploads:
You may upload one MS Word or WordPerfect file and/or one PDF file or
both on the submission website. We tried to make the website as versatile
for submitters as possible.
- You may upload one MS Word or WordPerfect file that includes both
the summary and your embedded graphics. A separate PDF file with
graphics in this case is not required.
- If your graphics were produced by software other than MS Word, to protect
your formatting, please convert the file to PDF and upload it separately
on the website.
- Your summary and graphics may be placed in a single file and
converted to PDF, if you wish. Upload that file in the designated area
on the submitting website.
The material on which my potential submission is based: (1) Will be
published for limited circulation prior to the SRA Biennial Meeting; (2) has
been presented at another meeting at which very few if any SRA attendees were or
will be present; or (3) will be published in a book for release after the SRA
meeting. May I submit it for the 2007 SRA Biennial Meeting?
Please contact the SRA program office
(programoffice@s-r-a.org) for an
answer to your question.
What happens if I do not follow the submission rules carefully?
Your submission will not be considered for review.
How can I apply for the SRA International Scholar Travel Grant?
Approximately eight weeks after the final submission deadline, all people
in all submission roles will receive an email message asking them to verify
the information entered for them at the time of submitting. At this time,
those eligible for this grant may complete the application that is available
by following the data verification link contained in the email message.
Who receives the decision notification about the submission of which I am
a part?
The person designated as Correspondent will receive the decision notification as well
as most other correspondence involved with your submission. This person is
responsible for sharing the decision with everyone involved in the
submission.
Can I submit both a poster and a symposium paper on my specific topic?
No, submissions may not be made simultaneously in two formats.
If my symposium is rejected, will the individual presentations be
converted to posters?
No, SRA does not convert symposium presentations to posters. We consider
a symposium to be a complete package with all pieces being of equal
importance.
What should I do if I do not receive an Author Verification email message
within 8 weeks of the submission deadline?
Please contact the SRA program office
(programoffice@s-r-a.org). Include
your submission ID number and your preferred email address in the message.
