Abstract Review Process

The Steering Committee will use the 2-page submission as the sole basis for deciding whether a poster will be accepted for presentation. Thus, the abstract should clearly communicate: the work objective; the results and accomplishments and their significance; and the advancement over prior work in the field. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed for the reported results' significance and relevance to the scope of iNOW 2018. Abstracts that communicate clearly and concisely will maximize the chances of being accepted.
