AdSUM: Advanced Siena Users Meeting

Submission of Proposals

Interested researchers who are working on a paper in which Siena is applied should feel no reluctance to submit a poster or paper: the label Master Class is not a deterrent!

To propose a paper (for discussion during a master class session) or a poster, please send a one-page summary to tom.snijders at nuffield.ox.ac.uk by January 1, 2012. This should contain the research question, a description of the data, and special questions for discussion (if any) with respect to the use of Siena or about other methodological issues. Indicate whether you are interested in only having this as a discussed paper, only as a poster, or as either.

Authors will be notified by January 15, 2012. A maximum of six papers will be accepted, but there is no limit on the number of posters.

Final versions of accepted papers and posters must be submitted by March 1, 2012, and will be distributed to all participants. Posters should be ISO 216 size A0 and in pdf format; we will print them for you. Papers are restricted to a maximum of ten pages, and must be accompanied by the R script used for analysis. Presenters are encouraged to send their data sets as well to allow for re-analysis by the organizers; the data will of course be kept confidential.
