Presentation Guidelines

Accepted submissions to our conference are presented in one of three ways: as a paper presentation, as an extended abstract presentation, or as a poster. Our policy on presenters is as follows:
– Each presentation must have a unique presenter.
– Each presentation must be associated with a unique conference registration.
– Each poster must have a unique presenter.
– A single person may present both a paper (or extended abstract) and a poster.

Note that there may be minor changes to these times as the final schedule comes together.

For Papers and Extended Abstracts: 

Accepted papers are allocated a long presentation (25 minutes) and submissions accepted as extended abstracts are allocated a short presentation (15 minutes) time slot. These are total times; paper presenters usually use about 17 minutes for speaking and leave the remainder for questions from the audience – extended abstract presenters should scale their speaking time accordingly. If a presentation runs long, it will have less time for questions – however, one of the key aspects of a single track conference such as ours is that the questions frequently lead to subsequent discussion which benefits both the presenter and the society as a whole. Slides are welcome – it is typically easier to use your own laptop to show them. We will provide a clicker, an assortment of dongles and adapters for connectivity, a projector and a screen, and a microphone (as needed).

Long presentations (as opposed to short presentations) are eligible for conference proceedings publication. A camera-ready version of the paper must be submitted by the deadline. Please follow the guidelines from our website https://computationalsocialscience.org/instructions-for-authors/  and submit the full package in the Meteor system. If you would like to opt out of the conference proceedings publication, please email board@computationalsocialscience.org the cameras ready submission deadline.

For Posters: 

Our poster session is held over a buffet-style catered lunch. Poster presenters are encouraged to remain near their poster and discuss with anyone that happens by. Posters are may be no bigger than 48in * 36in and no more than 48in wide – and are ideally at least 30in on each side. Landscape orientation is fine, but our space is often constrained so if you can use portrait orientation then so much the better. Printing poster and getting them to the conference is the responsibility of the attendee. Note that since posters are not eligible for inclusion in the proceedings, no “final submission” is necessary.
