FAQ - abstracts

Can I make changes to my submitted abstract?

IAMCR policy does not permit modifications to submissions after the review period, including adding co-authors.

How many abstracts can I submit to the conference?

Normally, an author is expected to submit only one abstract.

You may submit a maximum of two abstracts in total, either:

  • as a co-author

Can I submit two abstracts to the same Section or Working Group?

Can I submit the same abstract to more than one Section or Working Group?

No. You may not submit the same abstract, or a version of the same abstract with only minor variations to more than one Section or Working Group.

Such submissions are considered a breach of the conference guidelines and will be rejected.

Is there a limit to the number of authors on a paper?

No. The system does not limit the total number of authors.

However, the system allows a maximum of two presenting authors per abstract.
