ABSTRACTS SUBMISSIONS AND PRESENTATIONS

How are submissions reviewed?
Abstracts are reviewed by the conference organising committee against the reviewing guidelines.

Are papers published in conference proceedings?
The accepted abstracts are published in the conference programme which is given to each conference delegate but we currently do not publish full papers.

What is the word limit for abstracts?
All submission abstracts should be up to 250 words, exclusive of the title.

What size should my poster be?

I applied to the Cyberpsychology section conference 2020 which was postponed due to COVID-19 and my abstract was accepted, do I need to re-apply?
You will be contacted in due course to see if you would like to carry over your abstract from this previous application to the 2021 conference.
