Track chair: Submitting content on behalf of someone else

Track chairs can submit content on behalf of others by following the steps below. Track chairs can do this before and after the submission deadline.

Adding an individual submission:

Locate the Submit Abstract card on your dashboard and click on the button to add a new submission. This card may be called Submit Paper on your site.

Complete the submission workflow. Click the I'm not an Author button on the Authors step.

Enter the author's email email and follow the prompts to enter in the authors name, along with any other details requested by the conference.

You can continue adding authors unless the conference organisers have placed a limit on the number of authors per submission. After entering the details of the authors, complete the remaining steps and click Done to finish the submission. 

Submitting a Panel using the panels feature:

Locate the Submit Abstract (sometimes called Submit Paper) card on the dashboard and click on the Submit a New Panel button.

Follow the prompts to complete the panel. On Step 3: Roles, you will first need to save your details as a panel organiser. Not to worry, you will remove yourself in a few moments!

Click to Add Another Organiser and complete the prompts to save the organisers' details.

You can Remove yourself as a panel organiser and continue to add additional panel organisers, as needed.

Submit a Panel Contribution:

First, navigate into the List of Panels. This is located in the Initial Submissions hub and is accessible through the Submissions menu at the top of the page. Locate and click on a specific panel to expand it.

Once a panel is extended, you can click on Submit to Panel to add a new panel contribution.

Follow the prompts to Remove yourself from the panel contribution and Add Another Author. The conference organisers may have placed a limit on the number of authors that can be added to a specific submission which will prevent you from adding additional authors. If you are unclear on this limit, reach out to the conference organisers as needed.
