Peer Review Process

Each division has its own panel of peer reviewers. This panel makes decisions on which proposals are accepted for the convention program. They review proposals using the following criteria:

• Clarity of proposal (how well it is written)
• Relevance, timeliness, and general interest level of topic
• Suitability for division/organization mission and membership
• Quality of proposed session's content, organization and format
• Length and session type
• Match to the overall convention theme and other demands of the program.

A panel of peer reviewers reads proposals. To prepare an excellent proposal, be sure to use concise language. Identify your target audience - those attendees who will find your presentation relevant and timely. Pay attention also to how you format your proposal on the electronic page: Use paragraph breaks, use both lower and uppercase letters (not just capital letters). Proofread your narrative for typographical errors, misspellings and inaccuracies. Recognize that poorly presented proposals stand little chance of making it to the convention program.
