Abstract Submissions

BEFORE YOU START

  • Ensure you use one of the following browsers: INTERNET EXPLORER (v11 or newer) MOZILLA FIREFOX (v44 or newer) SAFARI (v5 or newer) GOOGLE CHROME

  • Mac Users: if you have trouble submitting your abstract, try submitting from a PC. If you are still have issues, please contact the secretariat.

  • Mozilla Users: the security policy in Mozilla often prevents pasting from your clipboard without using the menu commands. You can still cut and paste your abstract into the submission, but you may have to use the menu command rather than ‘control v’ shortcut.

  • Ensure your abstract text is less than 400 words as the system will not accept submissions over this limit. The word count does NOT include your title, authoring or cited references

  • Have your abstract open on your own computer to enable you to cut and paste it into the submission system.
