2008 MSERA Call for Papers: Participation Requirements

• Primary authors of papers selected for the program must present their papers in person. If adverse circumstances prevent this, the primary author has the responsibility for obtaining a substitute to make the presentation. The program chair must be notified of any changes.
• All presenters (including co-authors who attend) must register for the meeting prior to presenting their papers.
• Each contributor may be the primary author of no more than a total of two discussion papers, displays, symposium papers or training sessions. Contributors may participate as a second or later author on as many papers as desired.  The program chair can not guarantee that individuals who appear as second or later authors on numerous papers will not experience conflicts in scheduling.
• Participants must bring at least 26 copies of their completed papers (this holds for displays, symposia and training sessions as well). One copy is for MSERA Archives; 25 copies are for distribution. Participants who wish to submit their papers to ERIC should bring two additional copies.
• An overhead projector and a screen will be available in each meeting room. Other audio-visual needs will be the responsibility of the presenter.
• Authors are requested to be consistent in how they list themselves so the name appears in the same form each time it is listed in the program. For example, Joan A. Smith should be listed as Joan A. Smith in each proposal containing the same name. Alternate listings for the same individual (Joan A. Smith, J. A. Smith, J. Alice Smith) lead to confusion and should be avoided.
