Abstract Guidelines

Guidelines for writing abstracts (poster and oral presentations) 

  • Submit your abstract to a track and a session to which the subject matter is applicable. 
  • Only online-submitted abstracts will be accepted.
  • Title: Use title case for your title (for example, “Recommended Minimum Reporting Information for Environmental Toxicity Data”), maximum 200 characters (including spaces).
  • Abstract: The body of the abstract should not exceed 2,500 characters (including spaces). Do not include citations, tables or figures, and keep abbreviations and acronyms to a minimum in the abstract and fully define at first reference.
  • Abstracts may not promote a research institute, consortium/project, commercial product, process, or service.
  • Write for your audience: session chairs and colleagues. 
  • Be clear and concise. Suggested outline:
    • Include one of two sentences on background
    • Identify the challenge, problem, question or purpose of the work
    • Explain how you plan to address the challenge
    • Describe methods or approaches without getting into excessive detail
    • Report results or hypothesis, as appropriate
    • Summarise main conclusions if research is complete
    • Note the relevance of the study: How findings advance the topic or how they can be applied
  • Presentation preference: Oral presentation or poster presentation.
  • Only online-submitted abstracts will be accepted.
