ABSEL's Silver Tsunami

Resumen

This study analyzes the number of papers presented at ABSEL conferences from 1990 through 2012. Besides the general trend of the total number presented, we also compare the trends of those who have been frequent presenters versus those who have made one or two presentations and then presented no more papers at later conferences. The potential consequences for ABSEL, given the aging of its most active members and low retention of new presenters are explored.
