March 2022

Authors listed first on papers for scheduled Annual Meeting presentations have been invited to create an i-Presentation on a user-friendly editor site. AERA will be hosting three live “Create an AERA i-Presentation” training sessions that will be held on April 1, 4, and 5, for those who choose to create an i-Presentation. These webinars will provide guidance on how to create a presentation on the editor site.

The i-Presentation gallery provides a user-friendly vehicle for authors to present their papers in a dynamic format that allows for an overall narration as well as audio or video capture within any slide as part of their display. Authors can activate a chat function and also schedule a virtual session to meet up with other interested scholars. Through this portal, authors can receive messages and/or respond to Q&A on a continuing basis well beyond the initial “chat” span and continuing year-to-year. Authors also receive a unique citation for their gallery presentation.

Links to register for the training sessions are below:

Authors using the i-Presentation Gallery have the opportunity to create a dynamic web-based presentation or can simply upload a PDF of their presentation and still benefit from all the other advantages of the gallery. New this year, among other features, is that all presentations in the gallery will receive a digital object identifier (DOI), which will make work more readily citable and discoverable and will authenticate the time and date of presentation.

The vendor, iPoster, which developed the web-based platform and operates the i-Presentation Gallery, provides excellent, timely, user-friendly support on its creation site. Additional questions can be sent to presentation-gallery@aera.net.
