The call for abstracts of papers and/or full papers is now open (Wednesday September 23, 2015) and will close on Friday March 4, 2016. Abstract acceptance notification will be by Thursday March 24, 2016. Full paper acceptance/notification will be by Friday April 29, 2016 after a peer review process.
There will be two types of papers:
- Work in progress papers where an abstract is reviewed (abstract in the conference proceedings). Abstracts should be submitted even if a full paper is also submitted since abstracts will be reviewed and notifications sent first.
- Full paper where the full paper is blind peer reviewed (full paper published in the final conference proceedings).
Please note you are not required to submit a full paper for this conference. This is optional.
Papers on all aspects of social science methodology are welcome. The themes and specific sessions have been developed in response to proposals from the social science community to convene sessions. The sessions that are currently listed are available here
Abstracts will only be accepted through the online submission form.
Abstracts should be no longer than 400 words.
