SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The Conference Steering Committee will review all submissions for quality and conference fit. All quality submissions that fit the broad conference and society themes will be accepted as a talk or poster. If you have a question about the fit of your submission to the conference themes (formal science education, informal science education, professional scientific practice, development of scientific thinking skills, professional scientific practice, peer review, and psychological processes) please contact Corinne ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or Greg ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).

You can submit a proposal if you are not a member of ISPST but only members can present at the conference.  Part of the conference registration fee will be a membership fee. Complete the online submission survey here:

STUDENT AWARDS

2^nd Biennial David Gooding Memorial Student Research Prize will be awarded to a graduate student presenting at the 2012 conference.  The student will be given special recognition at the conference and awarded with a $500 prize.  Students who wish to apply for the prize must be presenting their own original work that has been conducted with minimal guidance from their advisor.  The winning student will be the 1st author of the proposed paper and must include the Name, Title, Department, Institution, email address, website, and phone number of their advisor at the end of their submitted proposal with the heading: Advisor Contact Information for David Gooding Prize.  The abstract submitted by the award winner may be published on our website.

NSF Travel Funds: This year we have generous support from NSF to provide travel stipends to graduate or undergraduate students who are presenting at the conference.  To apply for the Student Travel Award, students must include a paragraph at the end of their submitted abstract explaining why they are interested in the Psychology of Science and Technology and what they hope to gain from the conference experience.  Include the heading "Application for Travel Award" before the paragraph and in a second line indicate whether or not we can publish your paragraph on our website.  Contact Andrew Young via email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Students interested in applying for the research award or travel stipend, must also select the appropriate options on the abstract submission survey.  The award committee includes: Greg Feist, Michael Gorman, and Sofia Liberman.

Cognitive Science Society Best Submission Award: We have generous support from the Cognitive Science Society for an award to the best student submission on a cognitive science topic. Students submitting on a cognitive science topic will be automatically considered for the Best Student Paper Award on a Cognitive Science Topic. The winner will receive $250 and a complimentary one-year membership to the Cognitive Science Society. This award will be announced at the conference - and only those who present at the conference are eligible for the award.  The award committee consists of Jordan Lippman and Corinne Zimmerman.
