This is the entry point for electronic submission to the upcoming Annual Meeting of the Midwestern Psychological Association. You can speed up your use of this site by doing a little preparatory work.
All submissions must be done electronically. Electronic submissions have worked well in the past and they greatly reduce
the cost and time required to review submissions and create the program book. If you have special needs and are unable
to submit your abstract electronically, you may contact Carey Ryan, the Program Moderator, at unompa@mail.unomaha.edu
Please note that the deadline for submission of abstracts is Nov. 3, 2010. Late submissions will not be reviewed.
Next, once you log onto the electronic-submission page, there is a 60-minute time limit for entering all requested information.
You will avoid being constrained by this time limit by having the two required abstracts (one 400-word abstract to be considered by the
Program Committee; one 50-word abstract to go into the Program Book if your paper is accepted) typed into files in your word processor,
ready to cut and paste into the appropriate boxes on the electronic submission form. Please note the following formatting
requirements for these abstracts:
400-word Abstract for Committee Review: The name(s) and institution(s) of the author(s) must not appear on the abstract since these are reviewed blind.
The following form should be used, including the headings:
A. Title:
B. Area:
C. Problem or Major Purpose: The Committee finds it helpful to have the paper put in context, perhaps even with references.
D. Procedure: State the rationale, design, controls, size and characteristics of the sample, and statistical tests employed.
E. Results:
F. Conclusions and implications.
It is important that you provide adequate background information in the form of references and names of investigators or theories to help reviewers evaluate your abstract. The blind reviewing process does not permit reviewers to determine the background on the basis of the author(s) names(s).
You also have the option of uploading one document containing tables or figures to supplement your 400-word abstract. Your tables or figures must be in pdf format to be uploaded. Only upload tables and figures. Please do not upload any other portions of your 400-word abstract.
50-word Abstract: A short abstract not to exceed 50 words is also required. If your paper is accepted for the program, this abstract and all of your contact information will be inserted directly into the program book, so proofread it carefully.
You may access the Submissions Page in one of three ways. If you are a member of MPA, you may use your MPA user name and password. If you do not remember your user name and password, you can request the information to be sent to you: www.midwesternpsych.org/members/login.
If you are an APA member, you may access the Submissions Page using your APA username and password. Your 8-digit APA membership number without the hyphen is your username. Your password will be your last name, all lower case.
If you are not a member of MPA or APA, you can access the Submissions Page by creating a new account. Please click the "new account" link below the sign in box. When you are ready to submit your paper, enter the username and password below and fill out the submission form.
Please note that, once you have submitted your abstracts you will be able to view and edit them (and delete them if desired) until the submission site is closed on November 3.
