AcceptRate

Acceptance rate Organizers received 35 abstracts for papers and symposia. Each set of symposium papers was treated as a single proposal for reviewing purposes. Of the 35 proposals, 27 are being presented, for an acceptance rate of 77%. Many of the original proposals were highly-rated and creative in their approach to the interdisciplinary topic. In keeping with our goal of bringing to the conference a good number of graduate student papers and strong representation from many different disciplines, our review form had four categories (excellent, top priority; accept with no or with minor revisions; possibly accept, definitely with revisions; and reject). There was space for constructive feedback, and several papers will benefit from advice provided by our 25 Canadian and international reviewers.
