Indoor Air 2011 Abstract Submission Open
Abstracts can be submitted up to the absolute closing date of October 8th, 2010. We hope to notify authors of abstract decisions by no later than November 1st, at which time requirements for paper submissions will be posted.
To submit an abstract please go to the Indoor Air 2011 website at www.indoorair2011.org. There you will also find additional information about the conference.
The abstract submission process is fairly self explanatory. However, information is provided below that might be helpful as you develop and then submit your abstract(s):
• You will need to register with the OASIS system if you have not done so before (you will be prompted for this on the abstract submission site). This will take only a couple of minutes, after which you will be provided with information needed to log on in the future. Note that if you submitted an abstract for Healthy Buildings 2009 you should have all necessary log-in information, including your password.
• Our review process will be double-blind. You will not know who reviews your abstract and paper and they will not know who the authors are of the abstracts and papers that they review.
• As part of the abstract submission process you will be asked to submit some keywords from a pre-developed list. This is really just to assist us with organizing papers into relevant groups. Do not worry if you do not find the perfect keywords to associate with your paper.
• You will also be asked to provide information on the relevance of your paper to Indoor Air 2011 and to describe the approach that you will use to discuss uncertainty in your work (if relevant). We encourage you to review the example abstract that is provided on the submission site if you have questions on these points.
• Please note that we have a firm policy against allowing commercialization in papers and presentations. Be sure to review the commercialization policy when you submit an abstract. Additional details will be provided to authors who submit papers and make presentations.
• If your abstract is accepted you will be asked to submit a full paper (6 page maximum) or extended abstract (2 page maximum). Full papers or extended abstracts will then be due in January of 2011.
• We encourage you not to wait until the deadline approaches to submit an abstract. Please submit sooner than later. It will be helpful to receive abstracts throughout the submission process in order to assure effective allocation of abstracts to appropriate reviewers in October.
We are very excited about our conference technical, social, and student programs. In addition to traditional technical sessions by the best and brightest IAQ researchers from around the world, we will have forums and workshops on important and timely issues, lunchtime scholarly debates, an Innovations In Practice Program with CEUs available to attendees, forums aimed at getting researchers, practitioners, and policymakers together to discuss important needs in our field, and a social program that will allow you to explore the excitement of Austin, legendary Texas Hill Country, and sounds from the music capital of the world.
We also have a great group of sponsors to date and a rapidly growing list of exhibitors.
So, put on your 10 gallon cowboy thinkin’ hat, switch on that varmint computer thing, and type that abstract like you’re a tumble weed in a tornado.
We will see ya’ll when you ride into Austin before high noon on June 5th, 2011.
