Submission Instructions

+ 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)

  • Please follow the guidelines below:

    • Abstracts should be 250-300 words. The word count does NOT include your title, authoring or cited references

    • Abstracts may NOT include images

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