Procedure

How it works: two stages

Submission is not a single step. An abstract is assessed first, and only accepted abstracts go on to a full paper. This is the standard IABMAS congress procedure.

  1. Stage 101 / 03

    Abstract

    Submit an abstract of up to 300 words, with a title of up to 75 characters. The scientific committee assesses it and notifies the decision by email.

  2. Stage 202 / 03

    Full paper

    Accepted abstracts move on to a full paper of exactly 8 pages, following the official template. It receives at least two independent reviews.

  3. Stage 303 / 03

    Camera-ready

    After acceptance, the final version is uploaded together with the signed consent to publish and permission verification forms.

Key rule

Authorship and registration

Each registered author may present a maximum of 2 papers. For a paper to appear in the proceedings, its presenting author must be registered before the deadline shown in the timeline. This is the rule that generates the most queries — read it at the start, not at the end.
