Convenor/author info
Ordering papers
Convenors can use the login link in the menu on the left to access their panels. Papers can be simply placed in presentation order by allocating a number to each one and clicking 'Save changes'.
Editing papers
Paper authors can use the login link in the menu on the left to edit their proposals. Co-authors cannot be added/removed nor can papers be withdrawn through this environment - please email conference(at)theasa.org to do this.
Pre-circulation of papers
The ASA has no rule about this; however many convenors are keen to pre-circulate completed papers. To facilitate this and save on loads of email traffic, authors can upload PDFs of their papers within Cocoa, which will then show as a downloadable file beneath their abstract on the public panel page on this site. It is your choice whether you instruct your presenters to make use of this.
Timing of presentations
Convenors are reasonably free to run their sessions as they like, but the ASA norm is to allot each presenter between 20 and 30 minutes (for presentation and questions/discussion). The key is to respect the fact that many presenters have travelled a long way in order to be able to contribute and clearly need time to set out their argument.
We are unable to represent specific intra-panel timings in our programme. Delegates reading the conference book will have to work on the assumption that papers will be evenly distributed through the panel. Clearly you may wish to amalgamate discussion time, but where possible please try to stick to this even distribution.
Communication between authors/convenors
Convenor/author email addresses are not shown on the panel pages for anti-spam reasons. However there is an in-built secure email messaging system. If you cannot work that, please email conference(at)theasa.org to obtain relevant email addresses.
Any queries with the above please email conference(at)theasa.org.
