Priority goes to scientific studies that are completed. Papers will be reviewed by a program committee. Papers that are part of a symposium organized by a SSSR member (voting or active) should be collectively submitted. Although an attempt will be made to accommodate all proposals judged favorably, space limitations may be a factor in the final selection of papers. If space limits the number of spoken papers, an author's willingness to give an interactive paper (poster) instead of a spoken paper increases the chances of the paper's inclusion on the program. First authors will be notified by email of the acceptance or rejection of the paper. Only one presentation will be accepted per first author. Any author who becomes unable to present a paper listed in the program should contact the program chair immediately by email. Failure to do so may result in loss of eligibility at the next year's meeting.

Your submission is taken to affirm your understanding that proposals for this meeting are original and affirm that your identical proposal has not been published nor presented at another professional meeting.

Symposia
A symposium provides an opportunity to examine one topic in depth or from different perspectives. Symposium sessions are directed by one chair, with five presenters of 15 min spoken papers, each followed by a brief discussion. An international mix of contributors is encouraged.  Members of SSSR who are interested in organizing a symposium should initially contact the programme committee to prevent duplicate themes.

Interactive paper
An interactive (poster) involves a text and graphic display of research findings in the field of reading. Interactive presentation is an excellent format for presenting your research in a way that encourages real, in-depth and stimulating discussions, both for senior and promising young researchers. This format is therefore highly recommended by the Society.

Spoken paper
A spoken paper is comprised of a 15-minute oral presentation followed by audience discussion. The program committee will attempt to organize spoken paper sessions into topically coherent sessions of  five papers, depending on the number of symposia and available space. If space is limited, presenters will be encouraged to join the interactive paper sessions.

People eligible to submit
Papers may be presented by voting members, active members, and student members of SSSR, or where there is space, by other active reading researchers not (yet) a member of the Society.

Format
Proposals from active members, student members, and not-yet members consist of a title, a maximum 100 word abstract, and a 250-500 word summary, which explains the major questions and methods of the study and the importance of the results. Priority goes to scientific studies that are completed. Papers will be reviewed by a program committee.
Proposals submitted by voting members need to include only titles and abstracts and will normally be accepted without review. Papers that are part of a symposium organized by a SSSR member (voting or active) may be collectively submitted.

Acceptance
Although an attempt will be made to accommodate all proposals judged favorably, space limitations may be a factor in the final selection of papers. If space limits the number of spoken papers, an author's willingness to give an interactive paper (poster) instead of a spoken paper increases the chances of the paper's inclusion on the program. First authors will be notified by email of the acceptance or rejection of the paper.

All authors of papers will be listed in the program, with the first author designated as the presenter. Only one presentation will be accepted per first author. Any author who becomes unable to present a paper listed in the program should contact the program chair immediately by email. Failure to do so may result in loss of eligibility at the next year's meeting. Your email submission is taken to affirm your understanding that proposals for this meeting are original and affirm that your identical proposal has not been published nor presented at another professional meeting.
