Types of submissions
Oral presentations
Presentations about results of research projects, developments or initiatives that, due to their originality or potential application and impact on the use or development of R in academia or industry, are of interest to the regional R community. Those who participate in this modality will have 20 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A.
Lightning Talks
Lightning talks provide an opportunity to present and discuss advances, ideas, ongoing research, experiences and challenges related to LatinR’s topics. Those who participate in this modality will have 5 minutes for the presentation. Lightning talks will be grouped into thematic sessions that will include a final round of Q&A.
Posters
Like Lightning Talks, the posters provide an opportunity to present progress and ongoing projects related to LatinR’s topics. During the conference there will be a time block for the presentation of posters and dialogue with the audience.
Submitting a proposal
All the proposals will have to be submitted as a PDF, without authors’ names nor their affiliations, letter sized document, typed using a font size 11 and single line spacing. Maximum 2 pages.
There is a package developed by Elio Campitelli that allows you to create the abstract as an R Markdown file. You can see the details here. In previous editions, it was possible to send the abstracts directly from RStudio; however, due to changes with the previous platform (EasyChair), we will be using a new one (Open Review) and the automated submission won’t be available.
If you prefer using a different text editor, we kindly ask you to use this template.
The submissions will be accepted via the Open Review platform. You will have to register before hand. Please, do this as soon as you can, as the account activation on Open Review can take up to 24 hours.
For those sending proposals authored by more than one person, only one of them has to sign up on Open Review.
You can only submit one proposal as the main author, but you are welcome to contribute as the co-author of two other submissions.
All the submissions will be carefully reviewed by the Scientific Committee (soon to be announced), considering their originallity, contributions, quality and clarity.
