  • If you are submitting a completed paper, please submit your paper online at the link above.  Submit the completed paper as a Microsoft Word document to the ABC-SWUS website by October 1, 2020.

 

  • Personal and institutional identification should be removed from the body of the paper.  Submissions will be anonymously reviewed.
  • A cover page is required with the title of the paper and identifying information for each author: name, institutional affiliation, address, phone number, and e-mail address. For your research to be considered for the Richard D. Irwin Distinguished Paper Award, you must submit a completed paper rather than a proposal by the submission deadline, October 1, 2020.
  • Submitted papers should not have been previously presented or published, nor should they be under consideration or accepted for presentation elsewhere.

 

  • Upon receiving notice of acceptance, all authors and co-authors are expected to pre-register for ABC-SWUS at http://www.fbdonline.org. Your ABC-SWUS registration fee will allow you hear all ABC and ABIS presenters; if you present at the ABIS conference, you are responsible for their organizational registration fee.

 

Submission Deadline:  Papers and proposals must be received by October 1, 2020.

 

Proceedings Deadline: Accepted papers must be received by January 15, 2021.
