Presentation Registration
Guidelines for Application and Submission:
This JASID 2026 spring conference calls for (1) oral presentations (free topic), (2) poster presentations and (3) organized sessions/roundtables.
We are pleased to see that the number of members wishing to present at the conference has been increasing in recent years. However, as the number of sessions has grown, we have observed a tendency for participants to be dispersed across sessions. To ensure more active discussion, priority for acceptance may be adjusted in relation to other applicants for members who have presented continuously at past conferences. We appreciate your understanding. Additionally, to ensure smooth conference operations, we kindly ask that you strictly observe the submission deadlines for abstracts and papers. Please be advised that in cases where deadlines are significantly exceeded due to unavoidable circumstances, presentation proposals may be rejected or presenters may be asked to withdraw their presentation, out of consideration for commentators and fairness to other participants.

Members of JASID can propose and deliver an oral presentation, either individually or as a group. Co-researchers, whether presenting or not, should preferably be members of JASID. Oral presentations with similar topics will be organized into a single session with a common theme (2 hours each) by the Conference Program Committee. Each oral presentation is tentatively scheduled for 30 minutes (Presenter's presentation (approximately 15 minutes), commentator's feedback (approximately 5 minutes), presenter's response and open Q&A session with the floor (approximately 10 minutes)). The format of the presentation may change depending on the number of appolications and the result of the screening process. Please be advised that oral presentation presenters may be asked to serve as a commentator for another presenter in the same session.
Poster presentation
Members of the JASID can apply for Poster presentations individually or in groups. Applicants can share research findings in a poster format, either individually or as a group. The presenter can interact with the audience in a freer style than a formal oral presentation. The poster will be displayed in a location and time allocated by the Conference Program Committee and be evaluated by "face-to-face presentation" at the venue. The best presentation award will be given.
Organized Sessions
Members of the JASID can propose and organize a organized session consisting of several papers on a specific theme. A chair and two commentators must be proposed.
