Editing Sessions & Session Calls for Papers

Panel Organizers

Panel organizers (the original submitters) can now upload papers (or temporary abstracts) to their panels. Please provide paper titles, authors, abstracts, and PDF files by the end of April, 2018, to include them in the final program. To add a paper, you need to upload at least an abstract of the paper as a PDF file. You can update the files to full papers closer to the conference. The paper metadata will be public, but opening PDFs requires a user account and logging in.

When editing your panel, please include a 150 word abstract of the panel for the final program. Here is an example of a public panel web page with paper titles.

To upload papers, edit your panel in your Dashboard. If you have forgotten your password, reset it here. If you have problems or questions about uploading papers or need to change the editor of your panel, email info@wehc2018.org.

Panel Members

If you are presenting in a panel, please remember to send your paper (or abstract) as a PDF file and details of your contribution to your panel organizers before the end of April, so that they have time to add your paper to the website for the final program. Panel organizers are responsible for uploading the content and deciding on the order and program of their panels.

Session Calls for Papers

Individual paper submissions to accepted sessions with open CfPs should be sent by email to organizers mentioned in the session description.
