It's been quite a while and I haven't heard anything back about my submission for the Eastern Sociological Society meeting. Should I be worried? Anybody hear back from them yet? I think they had a tentative schedule out around this time last year.

No, don't worry. This year's conference is about a month later than last year's, I think. I am a panel organizer and they haven't sent me any papers to choose from yet. Also, there was at least one year when I hadn't heard from ESS yet, so I looked at the program that they had posted on their website and saw that I was indeed on the program!

I just got this message from ESS: Happy 2013! We know you are awaiting news about the preliminary program of the ESS Annual Meeting March 21-24 in Boston. Because of the overwhelming response and the late closing of the abstract system due to Sandy, we are a little later than anticipated in getting the full schedule posted. We wanted to assure you that you will indeed be part of that program and we are delighted you will be participating. The details with time and date should be up within a week or 10 days. In the meantime, if you have any critical questions, please email me and I will respond as best I can or turn to the program committee for the information. Many thanks for your patience

Same question about the ASAs now. Someone in my twitter feed seems to have gotten an acceptance--any one here got one?

Got one today. I was already convinced that I got sent to round tables, but no. Some organizers are just way late with putting together their sessions..

I got mine accepted in the last few days as well. I think the deadline for decisions on non-round-tables is the 27th?

It is not the organizers' fault that this takes so long, or at least not the fault of any individual organizer. The way the system works, if you don't get accepted by your first choice, you get bumped to a second choice, and ASA does not send out notices until everybody has been evaluated by both sets of organizers. This can cause backups as organizers sometimes put their panels together early, then forget to log in again and evaluate papers that have been bumped to their session in the meantime.
Personally, I think that this is a pretty good system and at least theoretically gives everyone two chances for consideration and two sets of comments on their paper. Is it really that big a hassle to get a decision on your paper in March if you aren't going to present it until August?

I didn't submit to ASA this year... last two years they weren't interested. On the other hand it took about 12 days to hear back from SSSP that my paper was accepted. I've been a SSSPer the last three years and it's a great great organization.

I submitted two papers. One was listed as "unassigned," which I took to mean that no one from my two session choices bothered to read it (?) Never had that happen before.
The second paper was read by both choices and rejected. I received reviews (sort of, they were a bit canned).

This is the first time I've come across Unassigned at ASA. Are you sure that means a rejection?

I think Unassigned means it's in between your first/second choice section and a roundtable. I had one of my papers listed as Unassigned last year, and then after a couple weeks that status was replaced by an acceptance into a roundtable. I don't think Unassigned means that it will be accepted into a roundtable, but I think it means it's waiting for roundtable organizers to do their organizing. But, I could be wrong!

From last year's session organizer manual:
Unassigned could therefore indicate that a decision has not yet been made at either of the session choices. I believe that when it is sent to roundtables, you'll get a status that says something like "forwarded to roundtables".

Hmm... one review for a rejection (says it didnt fit with the other papers) but then the official status is "Transfer." Not sure what that means but I guess I'll find out soon enough.
