Features / Sessions & abstracts / Abstract management

From call for papers to accepted contribution

Submission to a template, blind review with scores, and decisions that become the programme. The whole way in one system — not in an inbox.

The essentials first

Submission to a template

Title, co-authors, word limit and format. The contribution arrives complete, not as an attachment to interpret.

Review with scores

Contributions are assigned to reviewers, assessed blind and gathered in a queue where the average shows on each row.

Decisions become the programme

An accepted contribution becomes a session or a poster — without anyone entering it again.

Everything included

The whole abstract module in plain words — every feature included. Ask if your review process needs something that isn't listed here.

The details that make the difference

The things that turn up in week three of planning — built in from the start.

Reviewer pool

Assign contributions automatically and avoid conflicts of interest within the same institution.

Deadlines

Open and close submissions on set dates, with reminders to those who haven't submitted.

Decision letters

Accepted, poster or rejected — with the reviewers' comments to the author.

Abstract book

Every accepted contribution out as a book or PDF, numbered the same way as the programme.

412 abstracts, 38 reviewers and a programme that was ready two weeks before the deadline.
