You may publish in the JSM Proceedings if you orally presented your paper or poster at JSM 2009 or an approved ASA-sponsored or outside conference. If your paper or poster was withdrawn or not orally presented, it is not eligible. Please take a moment to read over the following information carefully, as several changes have been made this year.

Conferences that have been approved for publication (conferences will be added as they are approved):

  • QPRC 2009, June 3-5, 2009 - Yorktown Heights, New York (Q&P)

To maintain a uniform and professional look, all papers must conform to the formatting requirements. To help in this endeavor, the ASA has created a Word template and a LaTeX template (asaproc.cls, template.tex) for you to download and use. You must upload a PDF file to the submission site; no other formats will be accepted.

Copyright notice: Authors retain copyright on individual papers published in the Proceedings. Eligible presenters are not prohibited from publishing in the Proceedings, as well as other publications; authors are advised to consult journal exclusivity agreements for restrictions.
