PSA2020/2021 Call for Posters Extended Deadline of July 1

Submissions are open for posters to be presented at the PSA2020/2021 meeting in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 19-22, 2020 November 11-14, 2021. The deadline for full consideration of poster abstracts has been extended to 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time July 1, 2020.

The poster committee expects to announce its decisions on abstract proposals by August 1, 2020. The conference will begin at 8:30 am on November 19 November 11 and last through 3:00 pm on November 22 November 14. The poster forum will be on the evening of November 20. There will be an online Poster Forum Winter 2021, as well as an in-person Poster Forum during the rescheduled conference. All accepted posters are required to have a poster presenter attending the conference on the evening of November 20 to present their poster during the poster forum. The PSA will once again be offering travel grants for early career scholars, onsite childcare services, and dependent care subsidies of up to $200.

Please note that the PSA policy regarding multiple submissions to PSA2020/2021 and presenting no more than once on the main program does not apply to poster abstracts. Main program participation and poster forum presentation are not mutually exclusive. A presenting author on a contributed paper or participating in a symposium may also submit one poster abstract on a substantially different topic. If the abstract is accepted, then the author may present (or co-present) the poster at PSA2020/2021.

Poster abstracts may be on any research topic in the philosophy of science, the teaching of philosophy of science, science communication, and philosophy/science outreach. The PSA2020/2021 poster committee will strive for quality, variety, innovation, and diversity in accepted abstracts, and we are especially interested in work (such as that related to teaching, outreach, and science communication) not typically represented on the main program. Members of the PSA2020/2021 Poster Committee are listed on the meeting website here: https://psa2020.philsci.org/73-program-committees.

The maximum poster abstract length is 500 words, including any references. Submissions should be prepared for anonymous review, with no information identifying the author in the abstract. (See https://journal.philsci.org/submissions for instructions on how to prepare submissions for anonymous review.) Reviewing will be "triple-masked," with neither reviewers nor the poster committee chair having access to the author's identity during the review process.

See the meeting website (https://psa2020.philsci.org) for more information and to submit a poster after submissions have opened. To submit a poster, you will first need to create an account. (Click on "Create Account" on the top menu.) Then log into your account and click on "Submissions". For co-authored posters, the presenting author should provide the abstract; non-presenting co-authors are asked either to create an account or to log into their account (if one is created for them by a co-author) to answer optional demographic questions.

Instructions and advice for creating posters can be found here:https://psa2020.philsci.org/78-submissions/79-poster-forum-tips

General questions about poster abstracts should be directed to the chair of the PSA2020/2021 Poster Committee, Cailin O'Connor, at posterforum2020@philsci.org. To maintain anonymity in the review process, questions about specific submissions should be sent to office@philsci.org, which will be monitored by someone not involved in the review process.
