CogSci 2025 Submissions
Submission is now closed
General Information
CogSci 2025 will be fully hybrid with streaming of the entire program, except for workshops (which will all be in-person). Presenters can choose to present in-person in San Francisco or virtually, and virtual attendees will be able to view the entire program synchronously. Virtual talks will be presented synchronously throughout the program, and virtual posters will be available for asynchronous interaction via the conference app, as well as synchronous online interaction via video conferencing.
There are three categories of main conference submissions:
- Research papers (presented as talks or posters)
- Contributed symposia
- Member abstracts
An online proceedings will be published by the Cognitive Science Society. At the time of final submission authors will be required to agree to release of their proceedings contribution under a CC-BY license. This means that authors allow free reuse of their work provided the original authors are attributed. This is the standard license for many open access journals. If your paper submission is accepted for presentation as a talk or as a poster, you will have the option of publishing just the abstract in the conference proceedings, rather than the full paper. Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages, plus an unlimited number of pages for references. Authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to revise their submissions after the notification of decisions is sent (prior to the ‘final form’ proceedings-ready submissions deadline) and will be allowed unlimited space for references and acknowledgments (i.e., final submissions is 6 pages plus an unlimited amount of pages for references and acknowledgments). The proceedings volume is not considered archival (more information) for the purposes of eventual journal submission, but this abstract-only option was introduced to address concerns that some authors have expressed about publishing the same, or similar, paper in a journal after it has already appeared in the CogSci Proceedings.
To present a talk, you must submit a full research paper for review. If a submission is accepted, at least one author must both pre-register and attend the conference in order to have the submission appear in the program and conference proceedings.
Key Dates:
*All deadline times are UTC-11 by midnight. If a submission is made when it is still the deadline date at any location in the world, the submission will be considered for inclusion in the program.

Presenter Guidelines
Oral Presentation
Each standard oral presentation is allocated 25 minutes, which is to include a closing period for addressing questions from attendees. A recommended partitioning of this time is 20 minutes of presentation followed by 5 minutes of questions (and for transition). Each room is equipped with a video projector with HDMI input, as well as a microphone. The projectors support 16:9 aspect ratio (widescreen format). All speakers must bring their own laptops. The meeting rooms will have HDMI, VGA, and Apple connectors.
Note: Presentations that are part of workshops, tutorials, or symposia may use different schedules. Please contact the organizer of the given workshop, tutorial, or symposium for information about the correct amount of presentation time.
Session Chairs: Each room will have signs that the chair can use to signal to the speaker how much time is left. Assigned session chairs will quickly announce each speaker in the order listed and strictly monitor the time of each talk.
