COLLOQIUA
A colloquium consists of individual paper presentations that relate to a specific or related topics of interest. They are offered in 2-hour sessions, and we suggest 20-minutes for each paper (plus 5-10 minutes for discussion), depending on the number of presenters.
Each colloquia session will have an organizer and a chair (i.e. discussant).
Details on the organizer and the chair should be included in the submission; the organizer and the chair can be the same person. The organizer is responsible for securing the cooperation of all the presenters before the abstract is submitted online. The chair of each colloquium is the person responsible for managing the session and the format and content of colloquia submissions.
IMPORTANT: The organizer will be the ONLY person who receives the information on the colloquia and it is their responsibility to pass this information on to the individual paper authors.
Submission guidelines:
Proposals for colloquia will include a summary of all studies with a clearly defined common theme. Sufficient detail should be provided to allow peer reviewers to judge the merit of the proposal. The colloquia abstract as well as its individual paper abstracts should be limited to 300 words. 50-word summaries for the colloquia as well as its individual papers should be included.
The colloquia proposal and each abstract should be clearly titled (no longer than 12 words) and include the individual paper titles, individual authors' names (including information about the organizer and the chair) and professional affiliations. APA style is recommended for proposals.
