Complimentary ISI Membership

Thank you for attending the conference. With your paid registration fee, we are pleased to provide you with ISI Membership (or extend your membership) for a year, beginning at the start of the conference.

Fair-Share Policy Regarding Conference Fees

We priced the conference to break even without incurring a loss.  If the conference has extra funds, we use them to add benefits to all delegates.  For this reason, we have no funding to support a delegate's registration fees or travel.  Delegates need to obtain these funds on their own. 

Fair-Share Policy Regarding Multiple Paper Submissions

Each paper accepted for the conference needs to be presented.   If a paper has multiple authors, typically, it is given by one of the co-authors, who is a (paid) delegate.  If it has only one author, usually the single author presents it.

Each author/delegate is entitled to present one paper at no additional charge. If a paper is co-authored, each paying delegate co-author also has one “free” paper.  There is a second paper fee in cases, for example, in which one person has two papers and no other co-authors who are paid delegates. 

So far, we have not limited the number of submissions, but before you submit more than two papers, we would want to make sure that you understand the above policy.

The reason for the policy is that the registration fee pays for the cost (in money and time) to prepare one paper and provide the resources for presenting it.  For example, without incurring any additional fees, four paid delegates could present four different papers in which all four are co-authors.   However, if only one of the authors were a paid delegate, we would need to charge extra paper fees for THREE extra papers.  (If this actually happened, we would talk to the author about limiting the number of papers to two to be fair to everyone.)

Authors submit their manuscripts electronically using the submission and review system. No papers are accepted by email. 

All manuscripts must be the author's original, unpublished work. The manuscript must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. By submitting a paper, the author(s) assert that they possess the copyright for all the material, that it does not infringe on any copyrighted material, and that upon acceptance and registration, they transfer the copyright of the paper to the Informing Science Institute so we can publish it.
