| Now is the Time to Submit Your Research Abstract for the 2021 Member Conference Now is the time if you are interested in presenting at the 30th IAPRI Member Conference in 2021 for action on your part. Whether it is in a general or peer reviewed stream you need to submit your abstract for review by the Scientific Committee. For peer reviewed you must prepare your paper as well as an abstract. Although it is going to be virtual, we are working hard to make the Conference as informative and fun as a face to face event. Time is critical at this point, so we ask that you get it ready now. We plan to open the submission portal on December 1st. This whole process is all new to the IAPRI staff, being it is our first attempt to host a conference. So please assist us by meeting our deadlines. Since this is a Member Conference, all submitters must be affiliated with a member institution or corporation. You must have access via member login to the IAPRI website. If you need to be added as an additional contact at your member institute, contact Ed Church at sg@iapri.org with your contact information. Submissions: Abstract Submission Link Deadlines: General Stream and Poster Abstracts - February 1, 2021 Peer Reviewed abstracts and paper - December 31, 2020 Event Schedule: The conference will start on June 15th, it will occur over two to four days, spanning one to two weeks. There will be 4-5 sessions and 3-4 tracks per day to limit the daily time commitment. This flexibility is needed because we do not know exactly how many abstracts will be submitted and accepted until February. Category: The topic shall fit under one of the following categories used in IAPRI conferences:
Peer Reviewed Process Make sure you submit a new research paper abstract and title with IAPRI before you begin this process. First read the Packaging Technology & Science (PTS) “Author Guidelines” - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/10991522/homepage/forauthors.html Then read the PTS “Authors’ Check-list”* - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/10991522/PTS%20Editorial%20Check-list%20v6-1544006465477.pdf Submit the full paper to the ScholarOne Manuscripts PTS site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pts . During submission you will be asked to select your manuscript type: please select “Paper submitted to IAPRI peer review stream”. *Please note: if your paper does not meet the requirements set out in the authors check-list it will be returned to you for revision. This will delay peer review and may result in rejection from the peer review stream. Published: 11/13/20 |
