Paper, Poster & Blitz Portal

Submission Deadline

24 November 2025

(11:00 PM, EST)

Papers

Paper submissions are individual paper abstracts submitted for review. Abstract guidelines are available HERE and in the submission portal under Abstract Entry. If accepted, the individual paper will be added to a panel. Each panel is generally made up of four papers. Each paper will have 15 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for the discussant. This will total 70 minutes and leave 20 minutes for set up and general discussion. A chair will be assigned to each panel to introduce speakers, regulate order and timing of the talks, facilitate the question and answer sessions, and formally close the session. It is our aim that all panels will also have discussants. You will be asked to indicate your willingness to serve as Chair or Discussant when you submit your abstract.

Posters

Poster submissions are individual poster abstracts submitted for review. Abstract guidelines are available HERE and in the submission portal under Abstract Entry. Accepted posters will be allocated to a Poster Session at this year's Annual Meeting. The room holding the Poster Session will be open during designated times to allow for poster set up. Materials will be provided to hang your poster. We ask that you have your poster printed prior to arriving at the conference; ISPP will not have the capability to print posters on the premises. If you need to ship your poster via post, please contact the ISPP Central Office for specific instructions.

****For those who will be presenting posters, the poster boards will be vertical in orientation, with a height of 200 cm and a width of 100 cm. You can view an image HERE. Pins/tacks will be provided.

Blitz

Blitz presentations will feature a series of short talks and a moderated discussion, each covering a bite-sized bit of research, offering the audience a fast-paced overview of political psychology research. Those selected for Blitz presentations will be given a slot on the program with 6-8 other presenters. Due to time constraints, only one presenter is allowed on co-authored work. Abstract guidelines are available HERE and in the submission portal under Abstract Entry.
