Its time to plan on getting away from the
scorching heat of August in many parts of the world and head to beautiful
Toronto, Ontario for the 2003 APA Convention. Many of you are familiar with all
Toronto has to offer after just being there with the SIOP Conference, but summer
in Toronto will be even nicer. The APA Convention will be held earlier this
yearfrom August 7, 2003 to August 10, 2003.
APA has also moved to an online submission process. Specific details about
program submissions appeared in the September issue of the APA Monitor.
The new online submission process is available at: http://apaoutside.apa.org/ConventionCall/.
All program submissions must arrive by November 15, 2002 to be
considered for acceptance. The SIOP program at APA will be created from your
submissions of posters, symposia, tutorials, conversation hours, and panel
discussions or other formats you wish to propose. However, individual papers
will not be accepted. Submission will be considered from APA and/or SIOP members
or from persons sponsored by an APA or SIOP member.
Criteria for evaluating submissions will be: (a) appropriateness of the topic
for SIOP members, (b) technical adequacy and scholarly quality, (c) contribution
to knowledge on the topic, and (d) interest value, coherence, and innovation in
content and format. Multidisciplinary papers of interest to multiple psychology
areas are encouraged.
Paper submissions will only be accepted for individuals or groups that are
unable to access the online submission process. If you must submit a hard-copy
submission it must be double-spaced, with one-inch margins. Two stamped,
self-addressed envelopes must be included.
Posters will require five copies of a 500- to 1,000-word summary and five
copies of a 100-word abstract. Because these are blind reviewed, please include
identifying information (name, affiliation, SIOP/APA status or sponsorship,
address, phone, etc.) on a separate sheet ONLY. Please DO NOT include
identifying information on the summary or abstract.
Programs with multiple presenters (e.g. panels, symposia) are NOT blind
reviewed because the evaluations of the proposal rest partly on the identities
and unique contributions of the participants. Please submit five copies of the
proposal, including a 300-word summary of the overall topic and format, and
300-word summaries of the role and contribution of each participant. Identifying
information for the submitter and all participants should be provided with the
overall summary.
Submissions WILL NOT be accepted by fax. Hard-copy submissions should be
mailed to:
