ABSTRACT

Conference presentations offer an opportunity for faculty at all ranks to present their research to attentive audiences and receive feedback critical to the presenter’s research program. However, for many presenters, conference presentations do not advance beyond the conference itself and ultimately does little to advance the presenter’s research agenda. More specifically, many conference presentations do not transition to publications which are critical to career advancement and the promotion and tenure process. In this paper, we examine the issue of advancing conference presentations to publications and highlight factors that may preclude this process and ultimately advancement to senior faculty ranks.
