Call for Early Neos Submissions

Dear ACYIG Members,

As you recover from the AAA Meeting, please consider adapting your conference paper for publication as a Neos article. If you attended a session that inspired you, consider writing about it!

ACYIG is now soliciting early article submissions for the February 2016 issue of Neos. Submissions received by the priority deadline of Friday, December 4, 2015 will be reviewed for the February issue. We will also accept contributions during our regular rolling submission period of Monday, December 14Monday, January 4, but articles received after December 4 will be pushed back to the next issue. All material should be sent to ACYIG.Editor@gmail.com.
