Abstract Selection: Poster Presentation

Three main criteria will be considered by the review committee when reviewing abstracts for acceptance.

1. A minimum of two authors in the author block (a submission with one author will result in an automatic rejection)
2. Demonstration of a scientific problem (submissions must contain hypothesis and/or statement of problem, methods/methodology used, the results, and a conclusion)
3. Quality of written content

Abstracts must contain the required components and abide by the guidelines in order to be considered for acceptance. Required Abstract Components and Guidelines

Abstract Selection: Oral Presentation

Of the abstracts submitted for oral presentation, only the top eight undergraduate abstracts in each of the 12 scientific disciplines will be selected for oral presentations. If an abstract is accepted into the conference, but not selected for oral presentation, that abstract will be automatically assigned to a poster presentation.

All abstracts submitted for oral presentation will first be reviewed for acceptance into the conference using the criteria for poster presentations. If accepted into the conference, the abstract will be reviewed for oral presentation using the following criteria:

• Validity of scientific project
• Originality and innovation
• Approach to problem solving
• Organization and clarity
• Conciseness

All review decisions are final. There is no appeals process or opportunity to resubmit once an abstract is rejected.
