Abstract Submission

Presentations may be given on any topic of statistical interest; however, authors are encouraged to submit papers on the theme set by 2016 ASA President Jessica Utts, "The Extraordinary Power of Statistics." Additionally, abstracts with a primary focus on statistical applications are encouraged.

Presenters may elect to use one of the following formats:

Contributed Paper, Poster, or Speed Presentation
Topic-Contributed Paper or Panel
Roundtable Discussion (A.M. or P.M.) - A less formal presentation, limited to 10 attendees, including the speaker. Contact a member of the 2017 JSM Program Committee if interested in this option.

After You Submit

The presenting author listed on each abstract will be notified via email by March 31, 2016, of the following:

  • Session number
  • Date and time of session in which abstract has been programmed
  • Contact information for session chair
  • A web link to the preliminary online program
  • A web link to where you can edit your abstract
  • A web link to detailed information about your responsibilities as a JSM organizer, chair, discussant, speaker, panelist, or poster presenter
  • Draft manuscript deadlines
  • Speaker Management Room information

Revisions

You may revise your abstract text, title, and keywords or add coauthors from December 1, 2015, through February 1, 2016, and March 31, 2016, through April 18, 2016.


Proof of Progress

All presenters must send proof of a paper in progress to the appropriate JSM session chair by May 17, 2016. Proof of a paper in progress can be a draft manuscript, detailed outline, PowerPoint slides, etc. If you do not send the required proof, your paper will be deleted from the program and be ineligible for publication in the JSM Proceedings. This requirement applies to all contributed and topic-contributed speakers (including poster presentations) and invited sessions with discussants.
