Call for Papers

The 2023 Call for Papers is now closed. We are unable to receive submissions past the deadline. Notifications of acceptance/non-acceptance will be sent to all authors via email in mid-July. If you have any questions or need help, please email us at papers@asha.org.

Call for Papers Schedule

  • The Call for Papers for the 2023 ASHA Convention opens on Tuesday, February 21, 2023.

Important Changes for 2023

  • Authors may only be listed as presenting authors on three proposals. If an author is listed as a presenter on more than three proposals, the Call for Papers system will display an alert with the author's name. Submitters should contact the author to determine which three proposals they would like to present.
  • All authors listed in the proposal are required to complete a disclosure form and submit a bio by Wednesday, April 19, 2023, 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time. **If ANY author listed on the proposal does not complete their disclosure and submit their bio, the entire proposal will be administratively withdrawn.** This is an important change to our policy, which previously stated that only the author would be removed.

Submission Guidelines

The 2023 ASHA Convention will be a traditional in-person event with some virtual components. Please thoroughly read the updated Submission Guidelines before you log in to submit your proposal.

Program Topic Areas

The education program covers 31 topic areas related to the professions. You will be asked to select a topic area for your proposal, so read the criteria carefully.

Author Agreement and Disclosure Policy

Before submitting your proposal to the Call for Papers, it is extremely important that you read, understand, and agree to follow the principles, guidelines, and procedures outlined in the Author Agreement and Disclosure Policy.

**IMPORTANT**: All authors listed on the proposal are required to complete the disclosure form and submit a bio by Wednesday, April 19, 2023, 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time. If ANY author does not complete their disclosure, the ENTIRE PROPOSAL will be administratively withdrawn. This is an important change to our policy, which previously stated that only the author would be removed.

Session Inclusion in ASHA Learning Pass

Authors of 1-hour sessions have the opportunity to allow a recording of their session to be included in the ASHA Learning Pass, ASHA's extensive catalog of credible, curated online course content. Having your session in the Learning Pass post-Convention greatly expands the reach of your presentation, allowing more members to benefit from your content.

If submitters select “yes” or “maybe” to the question in the Call for Papers that asks if they want their session considered AND the session is accepted, ASHA Professional Development will consider the session for inclusion in the Learning Pass. Due to technical, time, and space limitations, we can only include a limited number of sessions.

If the session is selected, each presenting author will receive an email letting them know and asking them to complete an additional agreement. If any of the presenting authors decide they do notwant their session included, they can opt not to fill out the agreement and the session will not be included. If allpresenting authors complete the agreement, your live ASHA Convention presentation (audio and slides only) will be recorded on-site.

Recorded sessions will become part of the Learning Pass (accessible only to registered learners, within our ASHA Learning Center) and be eligible for continuing education credit (ASHA CEUs or professional development hours) for up to 5 years (the standard period for which ASHA typically offers courses for CE credit).
