Proposing a paper
Paper proposals must consist of:
a paper title
the name/s and email address/es of author/s
a short abstract of less than 300 characters
a long abstract of less than 250 words
All proposals must be made via the online form, not by email. There is a ‘Propose paper’ button in the title section of each open panel. Navigate to the panel you are interested in and click on this button to propose directly to that panel. If you then decide you’d like to propose to another panel, first click ‘Cancel’ on the proposal form, before returning to the panel explorer (otherwise you’ll remain locked into that panel).
On submission of the proposal, the authors will receive an automated email confirming receipt. If you do not receive this email, please first check the login environment via the link in the toolbar above, to see if your proposal is there. If it is, it simply means your confirmation email got spammed/lost; if it is not, you will need to re-submit, as for some reason the process was not completed. Co-authors can be added or removed, but papers cannot be withdrawn by the proposers themselves – for that, please email conference(at)easaonline.org
Proposals will be marked as pending until the end of the Call for Papers (26/01/2026). Convenors will then be asked to make their decisions over the papers proposed to their panel (by 19/02/2026) and to communicate those to the proposers, marking them up within the login environment.
Transfer process
If a paper is of high quality but cannot fit into a panel for any reason, it may be set as “transfer”. This status means that authors can have a second chance at finding a home for their paper after the call. Please note however that:
Authors may not request a transfer, only convenors may mark papers this way
This is not a different type of acceptance, the paper may not find a home and be set as rejected at the end of the process
If you have proposed a paper to a panel by mistake, or have found another panel which suits it more, please propose the paper once more to the relevant panel while the call is still open, and request a withdrawal through the administrator at conferece(at)easaonline.org, rather than requesting a transfer.
More information will be shared with authors and convenors when the call for papers ends and papers are marked.
