Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I submit previously published work?
Previously published work may be considered only if it includes substantial new findings or analyses. Work may be submitted for publication after the abstract submission deadline, prior to the congress, and still be presented at the congress (even if it is published prior to the congress).
Can I submit a literature review for presentation?
A literature review can be submitted for presentation as a paper/poster only if it includes empirical data. However, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and meta-syntheses can be considered empirical if they use literature-supported empirical methods (for determining the included articles, for synthesizing quantitative or qualitative findings in the literature, etc.) and utilize the included literature as data/evidence. Otherwise, literature reviews may fit within a relevant panel discussion or symposium.
What if my symposia submission is not accepted?
Authors included within a symposium proposal may elect to have their individual abstract considered independently should the symposium not be accepted.
