Abstracts submission
Abstract submission instructions for the 2024 WAPOR conference:
- Proposals for the conference should be submitted electronically by February 29, 2024. Only proposals submitted through the conference platform will be considered: https://2024-wapor-conference.events.wapor.org
- WAPOR 2024 conference will be held in in-person; both presenters, co-authors and audience are required to attend in person.
- To be able to submit a proposal, you must be signed up for a free account at the WAPOR portal (if you are a WAPOR member, you will be asked to enter your usual login and password). However, you do not need to be a WAPOR member to submit a proposal.
- In case of proposals featuring multiple co-authors, only the main author (or the presenter) should submit the paper proposal (one time). Co-authors (if any) should be listed during the abstract submission, but they should not submit the same abstract again.
- To maximize participation in the WAPOR conference, the number of times any individual can appear as speaker in the final program is limited: any individual can present only one paper. Should you appear as a co-author in multiple papers, please, make sure that other co-authors will attend the conference to present your joint research.
- The following types of submission are accepted: research papers in oral format; poster presentations in oral format (authors are required to bring a printed poster themselves); pre-organized panel proposals. Paper and poster presentations can have up to 10 co-authors; pre-organized panels need to have a chair and can include 4-5 papers.
- Individual papers will be organized in panels with 4-5 presenters per panel. All poster presentations will take place at the same time, in a format of a networking-style parallel session. Posters can be exhibited at the conference venue during the whole conference duration.
- Pre-organized panels should comprise of several submissions: first the convener/ chair needs to submit a panel proposal, then every every presenter needs to submit their abstract individually, indicating the title of the panel where the abstract belongs. All-male panel proposals are not permitted.
- All abstracts should not exceed 500 words. All submissions must be in English, and all accepted works are to be presented in English.
- Full papers (or presentations) in PDF format will need to be uploaded to the conference platform by July 12, 2024.
