Guideline for creating abstracts
- The abstract should be a PDF file no longer than two pages on an A4 sheet, including figures, tables, and references. File size of the abstract must be less than 10MB. Please submit your abstract using the form below.
- Please download the following sample abstract file (MS Word, OpenOffice, and PDF files) for creating your abstract. Be sure to submit your abstract file after converting it to (or saving it as) a PDF file (if necessary) and renaming it per the explanation below.
- An abstract file should have the following name(s):
- SC_FamilynameFirstname_N.pdf (if this is a new submission)
SC_FamilynameFirstname_N_vM.pdf (if this is for submission of a corrected version) - Here, SC is a session code that you select as your first choice (among S, IA, IB, IM, IP, IQ, IS, OS, OM, OG, OB, and OA as described above). If you submit only one presentation, then N is 1. If you submit multiple abstracts (to any sessions), then N indicates your Nth submission. If you intend to submit a corrected version, add “_vM” where M is a version number of your abstract, e.g., _v2, _v3.
- Margin
