  • 1.  Topic contributed and regular contributed abstracts now accepted

    Posted 12-02-2014 17:08
    Dear Members of the Section on Statistical Consulting,

    Abstracts for topic contributed sessions and regular contributed presentations, as well as posters, are now being accepted. To submit abstracts, please visit the JSM page at

    http://www.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2015/abstracts.cfm

    This page includes descriptions of the various types of sessions, as well as instructions for abstract submission. Information about the different types of sessions is included below:

    Contributed Paper - Oral presentations of 15 minutes each in a session with five to seven generally related papers.

    Anyone can submit a contributed paper abstract for JSM by choosing the best "sponsor" related to your topic. The 2015 JSM Program Committee will place your paper in a session.

    Topic-Contributed Paper or Panel - A topic-contributed session is planned in advance by one or more organizers and includes speakers presenting on a shared topic. Organizers of topic-contributed sessions must coordinate their efforts through the JSM Program Committee. For details, please click here.

    Speed Session - A speed session consists of 20 oral presentations of approximately four minutes, with a 10-minute break after the first set of 10 talks. These short oral presentations are followed by a 45-minute poster session later the same day. Electronic poster boards are provided to speed presenters.

    When you submit your contributed abstract online, you should select session type: Contributed and subtype: Speed.

    Poster Presentation - Poster presentations provide an opportunity for papers with extensive graphic or tabular material to be presented in visual detail. Presenters also receive direct and immediate feedback during their 110-minute session.



    Note, the deadline for most types of abstracts is February 2; the deadline for topic contributed abstracts is January 15.

    If you have any questions about submitting an abstract for sponsorship by our section, please let me know (my direct email address is krlove@uga.edu). If you are organizing a topic contributed session, please contact me for feedback prior to submission (you can learn more about topic contributed sessions here: http://www.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2015/topiccontributed.cfm).

    We hope to have a great program this year at JSM, and we look forward to receiving your submissions!

    Kim

    PS. Isabella Ghement recently sent out an email about roundtable abstract submission on November 25th. Please let her know if you have any questions or are interested in submitting an idea for a roundtable (isabella@ghement.ca).

    Hi everyone,

    Further to Kim's e-mail, I have received a few excellent ideas on topics for roundtable discussions for JSM 2015. 
    There are still some topics I would like to see represented in the mix, including:

        1)  How should you go about growing your statistical consulting business?
        2)  Social media for statistical consultants
        3)  Creating important and rewarding relationships with your clients
        
    If you are interested in taking on such topics (or throwing your own topic into the mix), please drop me a line at isabella@ghement.ca anytime this week.  We need the roundtable topics to reflect the challenges we encounter in our own practice of statistical consulting and to provide tools and solutions for overcoming these challenges.    

    Thanks,

    Isabella

    Thank you Kim.

    I am working on my paper and would submit it soon with high expectation of acceptance and eventual participation at the August JSM.
    Hope to see you then.
