Submission Help

Begin the process by choosing an event.  Then login using your login and password.  Once you have logged you will have a series of menu choices in the upper right of your screen.  These are dependent on your role (reviewer, author, administrator). 

Please review the topics below:

Registration  | My Information | Login | Password | Submission | Reviews | Troubles

Registration:

To use the system you must first complete the registration page.  Once registered you will login to access the functions of the site.  Registration is not event specific and may be used for submissions to many events.

Login:  

You must login to edit your information, submit, view reviews, or enter reviews.  Under "My Information" you can edit your email and other information, do this when you change universities. 

My Information:

You may edit any of your information that was entered when you registered including username and password.  Changes will affect all functions including data associated with submissions.

Lost or forgotten username/password:

Use the option found on the login page.  You will be prompted for your email address and if it is found you will be emailed your username and password.  Check Junk mail. 

Submission Form:

Submissions are allowed between the dates setup by the event administrator.  You must login to submit.  Please follow the submission instructions provided.  You will receive a confirmation email if your document is successfully submitted.  If you don't check your email address for errors.  Did you follow directions for the filename (no special characters)?

Reviews:

Reviews are available online when allowed by the event administrator.  Reviews for all submissions are shown.  Choose the title of the submission you wish to view.  Note:  Reviews may not be available past the event date.  If the event date has passed you may still be able to see the reviews.  To get to a past event click on the "show all" link at the bottom of the page.

My History:

All submissions and reviews since 2010 will be listed.  Note:  Submissions marked with an * were accepted to the event.

Other Troubles:

Contact the event administrator (contact) for all questions about acceptance, dates, reviews, etc. 

I have a error message to contact the administrator.

This is a generic message.   Please record the URL before contacting us.   Commonly this is caused by waiting too long on one screen.  The system will forget who you are and the event after 15 minutes of inactivity.  Try logging out and back in.

I can login but don't see my reviews

1) Are you in the correct event?
2) Are you using the same email address (login) you used for submission?

I have been asked to review submissions, but don't see the option to review submisssions.

1) Are you in the correct event?
2) Are you using the same email address that the invitation to review was sent to for your login?

I get an error when trying to submit a file

You must follow the submission instructions for filename and file size.

I cannot login with my email and password

Choose the forgotten password option in the login screen.  The system will send your password if the email address is valid.   If you use another email address try that.   NOTE: you can change your email address if you can login  see My Info.

I never received a confirmation of my submission via email

First the system will send messages to the email address you used to register and login.   Is this address still current and entered correctly?  Many mail systems will send such messages to "junk" or similar folder.   Check these.  You can confirm your submission by looking under "My History".

I'm having trouble accessing the site with my phone

In general the site is not designed to function well on a small screen.   Using a full sized computer is recommended. 

If you are having technical difficulties first review this page.  Next contact the submission manager: and be sure to include specifics such as the event, the page where the error occured, error messages, etc.
