DEADLINE SOON: SUBMISSION DEADLINE JUNE 20TH, 2019

The Society for Judgment and Decision Making (SJDM) invites abstracts for oral presentations and posters on any interesting topic related to judgment and decision making. Completed manuscripts are not required. Oral presentations are highly competitive; excellent submissions that are not accepted as full oral presentations due to space constraints may be invited to give five minute flash-talks (a short form oral presentation) on Monday morning instead.

LOCATION, DATES, AND PROGRAM

The 2019 meeting will take place in Montreal, November 15-18, 2019. The conference will open Friday evening with the Women in SJDM networking event. Featured events include keynote speaker Tom Griffiths, a presidential address by Nina Mazar, and monday morning flash talk sessions, featuring rapid fire five minute talks on groundbreaking new research areas.

SUBMISSIONS

The deadline for submissions is June 20, 2019, (the last day of spring). Submissions for oral presentations, and posters should be made through the SJDM website at http://sjdm.org/abstract-review/htdocs Technical questions can be addressed to the webmaster, Jon Baron, at baron@upenn.edu. All other questions can be addressed to the program chair, Danny Oppenheimer (oppenheimer@cmu.edu).

ELIGIBILITY

At least one author of each presentation must be a member of SJDM. Joining at the time of submission will satisfy this requirement. You may join SJDM at http://sjdm.org/join.html. An individual may give only one talk and present only one poster, but may be a co-author on multiple talks and/or posters. Please note that both the membership rule and the one-talk/one-poster rule will be enforced.

NOTE FOR NON-US CITIZENS REQUIRING VISAS

Travelers from certain countries may need extra lead time to obtain travel documents. Although we are unable to accept talks early, we can provide notification of an “accepted presentation.” This means that you would at least be guaranteed a poster. We can do this because posters are typically evaluated only for content and most are accepted. If you submit for a talk, you would receive a notice of an accepted presentation immediately, and a decision on your talk at the usual time. To take advantage of this option, you should still submit through the regular process, and also send a request to the program chair, Danny Oppenheimer (oppenheimer@cmu.edu). Please note that as this conference takes place in Montreal, United States citizens will need to have a valid passport to attend this event.

AWARDS

The Best Student Poster Award is given for the best poster presentation whose first author is a student member of SJDM.

The Hillel Einhorn New Investigator Award is intended to encourage outstanding work by new researchers. Applications are due June 21, 2019. Further details are available at http://sjdm.org/awards/einhorn.html.

The Jane Beattie Memorial Fund subsidizes travel to North America for a foreign scholar in pursuits related to judgment and decision research, including attendance at the annual SJDM meeting. Further details will be available at http://sjdm.org/awards/beattie.html.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE

Danny Oppenheimer, Abby Sussman, Barbara Fasolo, Oleg Urminksy, Bettina von Helversen, Hengchen Dai, Irene Scopelliti, and Dan Schley.

APPLICATION DEADLINE 21 JUNE 2019

The Society for Judgment and Decision Making is inviting submissions for the Hillel Einhorn New Investigator Award. The purpose of this award is to encourage outstanding work by new researchers. Individuals are eligible if they have not yet completed their Ph.D. or if they have completed their Ph.D. within the last five years (on or after July 1, 2014). To be considered for the award, please submit a journal-style manuscript on any topic related to judgment and decision making.

In the case of co-authored papers, if the authors are all new investigators they can be considered jointly; otherwise, the new investigator(s) must be the primary author(s) and should be the primary source of ideas. Submissions in dissertation format will not be considered, but articles based on a dissertation are encouraged. Both reprints of published articles and manuscripts that have not yet been published are acceptable. We ask for submissions with names, affiliations, and author notes removed for blind review.

A given paper can only be submitted for consideration once. Thus, papers submitted in any prior year may not be submitted this year. Previously submitted papers that have been modified with a new title, a change in the author list, or additional studies added to the previous manuscript will not be eligible. You must be an SJDM member at the time of submission. You need your member password to submit. If you are not a member, you must join by 17 June 2019, to allow adequate time for your membership to be processed and for you to receive your password.

Submissions will be judged by a committee appointed by the Society. To be considered, submissions must be received by 21 June, 2019 (11:59 PM, Pacific Time). The committee will announce the results to the participants by 9 October 2019. The award will be announced and presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making. The winner must be available to accept the award at the annual meeting and will be invited to give a presentation of their paper. Do not submit a paper if you know that you cannot attend this year’s annual meeting. If the winner cannot obtain full funding from his/her own institution to attend the meeting, an application may be made to the Society for supplemental travel needs.

Submission instructions and the submission portal are available here: http://www.sjdm.org/awards/einhorn.html

http://sjdm.org/newsletters/

This one has the 2018 Program in it. And all the abstracts. You could read it like a book. I know I did.

See you in New Orleans Nov 16-19!

NEW ORLEANS, NOV 16-19, 2019

The Society for Judgment and Decision Making (SJDM) Annual conference will be held in New Orleans, LA, Nov 16-19, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans. The details are here: http://sjdm.org/

Here is why SJDM is our favorite conference:

• The quality of the accepted papers is high. See for yourself here.
• It’s limited to only three tracks which means when you meet someone at a coffee break, you should be able to discuss a talk you have both seen.
• It’s limited to accept only 100 papers so it’s not overwhelming.
• Over 700 people attend which means you will be able to catch up with lots of people in the field.
• It’s really affordable. Advance registration was $300 for faculty and $150 for students.
• JDM research is rigorous. The current methods revolution was started by JDM scholars.

We go to SJDM even when we don’t have a presentation accepted there. Lots of people do. We recommend that you do too.
