please mark proposals by 11 February
Dear Convenors of DSA2025,
The call for papers closed last night at midnight and we had a great number of papers proposed (804). As over 50% of abstracts were proposed on the last day, we encourage you to now log-in to view the new arrivals!
Below you will find some guidance on marking, and advice around transfers, so please make sure you read it all.
MARKING
Due to the popularity of the call we must limit the number of proposals you may accept as follows:
Roundtables: All roundtables can have one session, except R03 and R08 which can have two sessions each. You may accept more than four contributions if you are sure that you can still deliver a good roundtable discussion in 90 minutes with more than four participants.
Panels: Up to 5 papers =1 session, 6 to 8 papers =2 sessions, 9 to 12 papers = 3 sessions, and 13 to 16 papers = 4 sessions.
Instructions on how to mark proposals on the system can be found on the marking page.
TRANSFERS
Transfer is for proposals you would like to accept but don’t have space for, or don’t wish to accept perhaps because they aren’t on your theme, but feel should be included somewhere in the conference. We will try to rehouse the transfer proposals in other panels (they will be emailed to you after 13 February).
Please do not set anything to transfer simply because you feel bad about rejecting – if the abstract is of poor quality, they should not be dragged through the transfer process and end up being rejected again.
FINAL NOTE
Please mark up your proposals by 11 February, ensuring all are either accepted, rejected, or transfer and none are left pending.
Please try to meet the requested deadline, as this affects all the proposers and all the panels - we will not be able to start the transfer process, or announce the Call for Funding, before all proposals have been marked up.
Do email us in case you have any questions,
Best wishes,
DSA2025 Administrators
