This list will hopefully answer your questions about the JCLC 2018 Call for Proposals. Questions not answered in the FAQ may be sent to the JCLC Programs Committee at jclc2018programs@gmail.com.

Where do I submit my proposal?
Please submit your proposal here: JCLC 2018 Conference Proposal Submission Site

Can my proposal be placed in a track other than the one I selected?
Yes. As the committee receives proposals, we may decide to amend or adjust the parameters of tracks and put your proposal somewhere else.

Will the committee combine my proposal with someone else’s?
Your proposal may be combined with another submitted proposal to create a stronger program. The committee will work with both submitters to ensure a successful program.

What if I’m not sure which track to select?
Select the track you think most closely matches. The committee may decide to place your proposal in another track, so don’t worry too much about choosing wrong!

How many papers may I propose for the JCLC Conference?
You may propose only one paper for the conference. You cannot propose the same paper as a submitted conference paper and also for a panel.

Is the proposal deadline firm?
Yes.

May I change the name of my paper, panel, workshop, or roundtable after it is submitted?
No. Please proofread your proposal carefully. Due to the volume of papers, panels, workshops, and roundtables at the conference, it is not possible to make individual changes after submission.

How are proposals judged?
After your proposal is submitted online, the Program Committee Chair then assigns the proposal to a team of readers from the Program Committee. As the committee receives proposals, we may decide to amend or adjust the parameters of tracks and put your proposal somewhere else. The committee may also decide to pair your proposal with another similar proposal to create a fuller program.

How long should my presentation be?
Paper presentations on panels should last no longer than 15 minutes. Individual workshop and roundtable presentations should be no more than 5 minutes in length. Workshops and roundtables are meant to open up a topic or issue for discussion and to include attendees during the majority of the time slot.

How do I cancel or withdraw my presentation?
All withdrawals or cancellations must be written and emailed to jclc2018programs@gmail.com. Be sure to include the full title of your presentation and organizer’s name.
