Paper and Poster Abstract Guidelines
The Sunbelt 2016 organizing committee is soliciting abstracts for paper and poster
presentations at the upcoming XXXVI Sunbelt Conference in Newport Beach, California,
5 – 10 April 2016.
Abstract submission dates
Opens on 16 November 2015
Closes on 4 January 2016, at 17:00 PST
Details
We invite abstract submissions for oral presentations (20 minute lecture) and posters (90
minute poster session) on topics relevant to social network analysis, including theory,
methods, and applications of social network analysis.
When submitting your abstract, select from the following Presentation Formats:

20-minute Lecture: You are given 20 minutes for an oral presentation, as part of a
larger themed 2-hour session.
o Note: you can also indicate that you are open to your abstract being
“allocated for a poster” if a lecture is not possible.

90-minute Poster: You will stand next to your poster to share the important points
of your paper, during the 90 minute Poster Seminar and Poster Slam held on
Friday evening. Posters will be placed on 36” x 48” tri-fold boards.

Poster Slam: If you select the 90-minute poster format, you can also opt into the
Poster Slam. This is an epic scientific event where presenters compete with short,
3 minute talks on their poster, at the start of the Poster Seminar on Friday evening.
Slammers are completely free to do whatever they want for 3 minutes. The more
creative, the better! We highly recommend Slamming.
Please limit all abstracts to 500 words, not including the title (and please do not include
references). If an abstract is being submitted as part of an organized oral presentation
session, please select the appropriate organized session name in the session field
submission form.
Paper and poster presentations will begin on Wednesday (6 April 2016) and end on
Sunday (10 April, 2016).
Presenting authors of accepted submissions must register for and present their work at
the meeting. This stipulation applies to both oral and poster presentations. Each person
may present only one paper or poster at the conference.
