Poster Abstract Submission
Poster abstract submission
Submission of poster abstracts is online only, and the deadline for poster abstract submission is Friday 21 June 2002. Click here to go directly to the online abstract submission page
Note that abstract submission is now a three-step process and you must complete all steps to successfully submit your abstract.
Abstract Length
The maximum number of words allowed in your entire abstract is 230 words. This includes the Title, Authors, Addresses AND Abstract body. Please do not type two spaces after a full stop (at the end of a sentence) as this will reduce the number of words that you will be allowed to include in your abstract.
The preferred method for submission is to type your abstract straight into the online submission form using the buttons on the form to add special characters or formatting. However it is also possible to paste text from a word-processed document as long as formatting and special characters are added via the buttons on the online submission form.
Has my abstract been accepted?
Once you click the 'submit' button, the online submission page will change to a submission confirmation page and you will immediately receive a unique control number which will identify your abstract. If you do not receive a control number, then please email support@portlandpress.com immediately. Approximately 2 weeks after the abstract submission deadline has passed, you will receive an email informing you that your poster has been accepted.
