Participant Rules
When submitting and accepting panel and individual paper proposals, please follow the following four participation rules:
​
Rule 1: Participation Limitation
Please note that participation is limited to (2) roles, with a maximum of (1) paper author role. This allows for an individual to have up to (2) non-author presenter appearances (for example, on a roundtable or Author Meets Critics panel), or (1) non-author presenter role and (1) paper author role. Chair and discussant roles are service roles and do not count towards this limit.
​
An attendee may present only one paper at the conference, but may appear on the program as a non-presenting co-author on two other papers without exceeding participation limits.
​
Paper author roles are included on full paper panels, as well as mini-conferences. These roles are listed as “Author” in the submission system and participants will upload a paper to correspond with their presentation.
Non-author presenter roles are traditionally in roundtables, Author Meets Critics, cafés, workshops, and mini-conferences. These roles are listed as “Presenter” in the submission system. Presenters do not author a paper for these appearances.
Exemptions
-
Participation as a non-presenting co-author does not count towards the Author presentation limit.

Participation as a discussant or chair does not count towards any appearance limits.

Participation in a theme panel is an allowed third role/appearance.
-
Participating in or presenting a paper on a panel organized by Division 10: Political Science Education does not count towards these limits.
