Once accepted you will need to make a commitment to attend APSS 2025 by registering online.
Once submitted, your paper will be initially sighted by the editorial committee to determine it’s suitability for our conference, and to make sure it is formatted correctly. At this point it will be either forwarded on to be peer reviewed, or returned for editing (i.e. incorrect formatting).
Your paper will be peer reviewed by 2 separate reviewers. The editorial committee will endeavour to have your paper reviewed and comments/modifications back to you (if necessary), within 3-4 weeks after submission (dependent on reviewers). The Editor will then formally accept or decline your paper. Presentation types (Poster/Oral) will be confirmed once the program has been compiled and you will be notified separately by early December.
Posters will be presented during the Poster Session & BBQ on Monday Evening, where you will have the opportunity to discuss specific outcomes of your work with interested parties during the evening. You may request a Poster presentation during the submission process, otherwise it will be assessed on its merits and it will be allocated either an Oral or Poster presentation at the discretion of the editorial committee.
All papers that are formally accepted will be published as full papers in the proceedings, so all papers must abide by format guidelines.
NOTE: Once accepted, either yourself or a contributing author must make a commitment to attend (in person) and present the paper/poster at APSS 2025 (10th – 12th Feb, 2025). Failure to register for the conference by the Author Registration Deadline (15th December, 2024), will result in your paper being removed from our program and it will not be published in the proceedings.
