Authors have the option of proposing complete manuscripts (10 pages maximum) for peer review; full manuscript proposals will be eligible for the 132nd Convention Paper Award and for review and possible publication in the AES Journal. If a proposed complete manuscript is not accepted as a peer-reviewed paper, it can still be accepted as an abstract/précis paper.
The standard option is also still available: a proposed title, 60- to 120-word abstract, and 500- to 750-word précis of the paper must be submitted electronically for peer review to the AES 132nd proposal submission site at www.aes.org/132nd_authors by 2011 December 14. Acceptances will be emailed starting approximately 2012 January 10. Presenting authors (one per paper) will be required to pay the full convention registration fee (member or student member rates are lower than nonmember rates), and only then they will receive a free CD-ROM of the papers. Acceptance of proposed papers will be determined by a review committee based on the submitted abstract/précis or full manuscript. Presenting authors who are student members and whose papers are accepted
for presentation will be eligible for the Student Paper Award at the 132nd. The proposed paper (précis or complete manuscript) must clearly describe the work performed, methods employed, conclusions, and significance of the paper with respect to other published work in the field. During the online submission process you will be asked to specify whether you prefer to present your paper in a lecture or poster session. Highly detailed papers are better suited to poster sessions, which permit greater interaction between author and audience. The convention committee
reserves the right to reassign papers to any session. Whether a lecture or a poster, a complete electronic manuscript (papers of 4–10 pages in length are encouraged) submitted before 2012 February 21 is required before the paper can be accepted for presentation at the convention. During the submission process, authors will be asked if their convention papers should be considered for possible publication in the AES Journal.
