Proof of Progress

All presenters must send proof of a paper in progress to the appropriate JSM session chair by May 31, 2023. 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 may be deleted from the program and become ineligible for publication in the JSM Proceedings. This requirement applies to all contributed and topic-contributed speakers and invited sessions with discussants.

The 2023 JSM Proceedings will be published digitally. Authors will submit their papers electronically to a web collection site between 12 p.m. EDT August 31 and 11:59 p.m. EDT October 6. Submit early. The deadline is firm, and you can expect delays due to heavy volume around that time.
