Guideline for creating abstracts

*The abstract format for the Antarctic meteorites session (OA) is different from that of other sessions. The sample abstract below should be used.

  • 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
    Upper margin: 20 mm
    Lower margin : 20 mm
    Right margin: 15 mm
    Left margin : 15 mm
  • Space between lines is fixed 14-point (approximately 4.9 mm)

    Organization list is 10-point italic
