Call for Papers
The Online submission is available
at
.
I would encourage you to ‘spread
the news’ through your many networks,
colleagues and friends, wherever
they are in the world. Send them this
link to the Association’s website
where they can read more about the
National Conference and submission
process.
We have also included, on the
Conference website,
instructions and
guidelines
for making submissions,
which we hope will give you some
assistance before you proceed to the
actual submission process. Please
remember that delegates will only have
access to the title of the paper and
author(s) names when they register and
select sessions they wish to attend,
so please carefully think about your
presentation title. This will help ensure the
audience you wish to attract and have the
greatest interest in your topic will attend.
Closing date for submissions is
Wednesday 3 September 2014
, so
please submit your abstract today! With
the Online submission process we are
able to allocate proposals to reviewers
as they come in. This will assist the
Scientific Program Sub Committee in
managing the review process and help
us develop the Conference program in
a timely manner. Early review will also
give authors more time to consider any
reviewer comments.
Call for Reviewers
The Scientific Program Sub-Committee
(SPSC) is becoming increasingly active
as papers, posters and workshops
are now being submitted. These
submissions need to be reviewed,
and the SPSC is encouraged by the
response so far. However there are
a few ‘areas’ that need reviewers. If
you are working in AAC, cancer care,
cognition, critical care, disability, fluency,
hearing, Indigenous speech pathology,
information technology, management,
paediatric feeding, palliative care,
private practice, public policy, rural and
remote, telepractice/telehealth or voice
and would be interested in reviewing
papers for the Conference and assisting
the SPSC, please email a brief CV
and your areas of interest/expertise
to Pamela Richards at
no later than
Monday 18 August
2014
. Please note this invitation is
only
open to Speech Pathology Australia
members
