AAAL Policies Concerning Conference Presentations

• AAAL policy stipulates that individuals are to submit only one abstract – whether a paper, a poster, or as part of a colloquium – and to appear as a presenter only once on the program, in addition to a possible role as a discussant or session chair.
• AAAL assumes that all proposals(for individual papers, colloquia papers, and poster sessions) represent original and unpublished work, that is, not yet available to the AAAL membership (with the exception of material from publications in press).
• AAAL discourages submission of proposals from individuals who will not be attending the conference. Conference attendees highly value the discussion period at the conclusion of conference sessions; substitute readers are disadvantaged in discussing papers not their own. AAAL requests that presenters who know in advance that the cannot attend the conference withdraw their proposals and thus allow a presenter who can attend to have a slot on the program. If unforeseen circumstances, at the last minute, dictate that a presenter cannot attend the conference, a substitute will be permitted.
