Now in its 10th year, the Boston University Platform Symposium is the premier conference devoted to platform research.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers are preferred. The format should be targeted for an "A" journal, not more than 32 pages. Put figures in the paper (not at the end). These will be judged on the basis of fit, originality, and quality of results.
- Abstracts will be considered. These should not be more than 5 pages. These will be judged on the basis of fit, originality, and quality of results as well as the likelihood of completion in time for the event.
- Posters will also be an option.
One format will be 8-10 regular presentations (roughly 45 minutes each, including discussion). A second format will feature 8-10 short presentations (8-9 minutes each, no discussion). The short presentations are best suited for early-stage papers or nascent research. The submitting author should be the one who intends to present the paper.
