NEPA

Call For Submissions

Papers, Posters, and Symposiums

Priority Submission Deadline
September 15, 2023

The New England Psychological Association (NEPA) is pleased to announce the call for submission for the 2023 NEPA conference and the opening of the submission portal. The 2023 meeting will be held on October 21, 2023 at Worcester State University.

These dates provide great opportunities for students and faculty to present work completed during the past semester or the summer, for new faculty and those approaching tenure and promotion to add peer-reviewed presentations to their vitae, and for professionals across the psychological sciences to share their ideas and passions.

NEPA Priority Submission Deadline: February 1, 2023 through August 1, 2023 for symposia, papers, and posters representing all areas of the psychological sciences. NEPA will continue to receive and review posters through September 15, 2023.

NEPA invites the submission of papers and posters with clear and detailed articulation of research questions, procedures, data analyses, and implications of the results. Theoretical and literature review submissions will be considered as papers provided that they present new ideas, models, or frameworks for future research. Papers and posters may be qualitative or quantitative in concept and methodology provided that a sufficient description of data sources/evidence, evaluation procedures, and substantiated conclusions is provided. NEPA also seeks the submission of symposia that include authors from different institutions presenting substantive issues from different perspectives. Data collection and analysis must be concluded prior to submission.

The NEPA program committee reserves the right to request that papers for which thematic sessions are not available be presented as posters.

In order to be reviewed paper and poster submissions must include the following content:

• Title and list of authors and affiliations.
• Short abstract of 50 to 500 words summarizing the research concept, the methods,
and the main findings.
• Long abstract of 1000 to 1500 words with separate sections that clearly state the:
• Research problem and hypotheses.
• Methodology.
• Results or findings with statistical tests (e.g., means and standard deviations)
embedded within explanations, where appropriate.
• Implications of the results within the context of the stated problem and
hypotheses.

A Symposium submission should include the following content:

• Title and list of authors and affiliations.
• Short abstract of up to 500 words summarizing the themes and goals of the session and
the audience for which the symposium is intended.
• Long abstract of 1000 to 1500 words summarizing each presenter’s contribution to the
submission and expertise to participate in the symposium.
