Sigma Repository Event Materials* Submission Steps for Groups

You are 4 steps (see checkmarks) away from sharing your knowledge with the world!

Initial Step

  • Pre-registration Step - Add Sigma@KnowledgeArc.com to the safe sender's list in your email account to ensure that you receive necessary system notifications.

Registration

  • Register using the email you supplied in the Permission to Contact form. Failure to do so will delay your submission.
  • Registration Step 1 - Begin the registration process here: https://sigma.nursingrepository.org/jspui/register. Alternatively, you may click on the Register option located in the top right-hand corner of this screen (desktop view).
  • Registration Step 2 - Upon initializing the registration process, you will receive an email from Sigma@KnowledgeArc.com. Subject line: Sigma Repository Account Registration. Follow the instructions in that email to complete your account setup.

Account Authorization

Sigma Repository staff will receive notification upon your completion of both steps of the registration process.

  • Waiting Period. Allow 24 to 36 hours (excludes weekends and holidays) for staff to authorize your account prior to submitting. If you are under time constraints, contact staff at Repository@SigmaNursing.org to request expedition of your authorization.
  • No Notification Required. You may submit after the waiting period has ended. You will not receive further notification.

Submission

*Materials must include the following file attachments:

1. Poster or presentation slide file (in PDF format),

2. A formal abstract with headings (250 word minimum), references, and learning outcomes (in PDF format), and

3. A video/audio recording of your presentation (optional). If you choose to upload the optional video/audio file and it is too large, contact Sigma Repository staff at Repository@SigmaNursing.org.

Stand Alone. The poster or presentation slide deck must contain enough information to be considered more than a restatement of the abstract and must add to the scientific/clinical discourse. If a video/audio file is not uploaded, make sure that your subject knowledge is sufficiently conveyed in the text, graphs, and tables of the poster/slides.

Processing Time

  • Allow staff 30 to 90 days for processing your submission. Turnaround is usually 24 to 48 hours (excludes weekends and holidays) during off-peak periods.
  • Upon posting, you will receive a system-generated email with the permanent link to your item record. Share that link/email with your event host contact as evidence of your participation in the Sigma Repository.
