Abstract Submission

• The title of the abstract must be less than 20 words
• The body of the abstract must be concise with less than 300 words. The abstract system will not accept abstracts that exceed 300 words (body of the abstract).
• Please ensure that you indicate the presenting author on the abstract. If the submitting author is also the presenting author then please mark this as the presenting author. If the submitting author is different please indicate both the submitting author and the presenting author
• Standard abbreviations and SI units must be used. Non-standard abbreviations must be defined in full at their first appearance.
• Abstracts must not contain any images or tables.
• Careful typing and proofreading are essential, as otherwise the abstract may be amended or rejected.

The submission system allows for submitters to save and continue to work on the abstract later (by clicking on “Save as draft”) – if you choose this option you can log in and continue to work on the abstract at any point up to the abstract deadline. Please ensure that you have selected “submission” when you have completed the abstract and no further work is necessary.
