[Air-l] IMPORTANT - AoIR conference submission clarification and extension

[Suely Fragoso]

Dear Steve

Sorry, but I am still in doubt. If one submits a paper as part of a panel, 
his acceptance is linked to the acceptance of the panel as a whole, 
right? What if a paper is particularly good but the panel itself does not 
make it? Can authors propose a double  submission, either as part of a 
panel or not? 
I understand that it was this doubt, manifested by someone else, which 
rose the question in the first place.

Thanks
Sue
