The submissions portal is now open. Click HERE to visit the portal.

Click here to volunteer as a peer-reviewer for conference submissions.

Submissions are invited on topics relevant to the research, teaching, and practice of social and personal relationships.

The submission portal will be open until December 1, 2025. Decisions will be emailed no later than March 1st, 2026.

Priority for acceptance will be given to projects with data collection completed by submission. Accepted authors are expected to register for the conference and to travel to Glasgow to present their work in-person. Virtual presentations are not available.

All submissions will require: (a) a short abstract (100 words or less) that may appear in conference materials, and (b) a long abstract (≤750 words) to be reviewed.

Individual Submission Formats
Three formats are available for individual submissions: (a) oral presentations, (b) data blitz talks, and/or (c) poster presentations. Format preference(s) may be indicated at the time of submission; however, due to time/space allocations, final presentation format will be decided to fit program constraints.

(1) Oral Presentations: Submissions grouped into related topical sessions of approximately 5 traditional research presentations
(2) Data Blitz Talks: Submissions grouped into related topical sessions of 10+ rapid-fire talks describing their core research basics. These sessions facilitate networking by allowing presenters and attendees to hear about a broad array of findings in a single session.
(3) Poster Presentations: Several poster sessions across the conference offer opportunities to discuss cutting-edge research.

Group Submission Formats
A limited number of group submissions may be accepted, program space permitting. Two formats for group submissions include: (a) symposium presentations, or (b) panel discussions. For group submissions, a designated chair will submit the required abstracts, with the longer one indicating the session title, briefly describing the session’s theme, and listing each presenter’s name, affiliation, and their presentation title(s).

(1) Symposium Presentations: Groups of 4-5 oral presentations organized around a common theme
(2) Panel Discussions: Small group of scholars dialoging about an issue of key interest to IARR members
Once the submission portal opens, the IARR Conference website will be updated and an email announcement sent with further submission details.
