How to submit your abstract
Those wishing to present papers or posters must submit their abstracts to the SSBP via the conference website.
All abstracts accepted for oral presentations will appear in the Journal of Intellectual Disability Research. Abstracts must therefore comply with the JIDR Editoral Policy. Owing to the tight publication deadline, late abstracts will not be accepted.
Regulations
- Each registrant may be the presenting author on only one oral presentation, but may also offer poster(s) for consideration.
- Each registrant may offer one or more posters, but one of the presenters for each poster should attend in person.
- Oral and poster presentations are subject to selection by the SSBP 2020 Scientific Committee.
- It is not necessary for the author(s) to have registered for the SSBP 2020 research symposium prior to abstract submission, however the presenting author of an abstract selected for poster or oral presentation must register and pay a registration fee before the inclusion of their abstract can be confirmed.
