A: There are several major ways that one can participate in the 7th ICAPAS 2019 Conference.

Deliver a Paper. Papers are formal presentations of original research that are either read or delivered. Papers are expected to be original research. This may be the exploration of a previously un-researched topic, or the reevaluation of existing work in light of new evidence or methodologies. Paper proposals are judged on their potential contribution to their respective fields.

A: Paper presentations on panels last 15-20 minutes. Because of the limited time (which includes both orally delivered material and any visual clips) most papers attempt to make only two or three major points.

Please Note: The session chair is responsible for allocating an equal amount of time for each. Sessions run currently and continuously throughout the day.

A: After your proposal is submitted online, the ICAPAS conference coordinator then assigns the proposal to a team of two appropriate readers. The readers evaluate the proposal individually and then compare their respective scores. Readers look for originality, scope and depth of research, and attempt to assess whether the paper will make a contribution to the field. Secondarily, the readers consider whether the proposal has followed the rules for submission. A joint score is forwarded to the conference organizer.

The conference organizer is responsible for creating panels and assigning the panels to time slots and rooms. Time and room assignments are based in some measure on equipment needs, and efforts are made not to have too many panels. Because of the complexity of putting the program together, requests for special times or days cannot usually be honored. Please limit any such requests to those of an unavoidable nature.
