Abstract Selection
Criteria for Abstract Review: Poster Presentation
Abstract reviewers will use the rubric below to assess abstracts. Abstracts will be accepted, rejected or accepted with modifications. If an abstract is accepted with modifications, authors will receive specific comments from the reviewers asking the author to make changes to improve the clarity or organization of the abstract.
Two main criteria will be considered by the review committee when reviewing abstracts for acceptance. They are:
- Demonstration of a scientific problem (must contain hypothesis and/or statement of problem, methods used, results and conclusion)
- Quality of written content
