WRITING TIPS
A good abstract is short but impactful, so make sure every word counts. Each sentence/paragraph should clearly communicate one main point.
Four relevant things you are encouraged to highlight are:
The purpose of the abstract is to stress the original contributions of your research and novelty, so avoid discussion of others’ work.
Please note that a good abstract can be understood by someone without prior knowledge of the topic.
Writing an effective abstract will improve the chances of your submission being accepted, encourage delegates to attend your presentation and increase the impact of your work!
PROPOSALS SELECTION
The evaluation of the abstracts will be done by anonymous members of SSPCR 2022 Scientific Committee.
The abstracts will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- Potential interest to conference audience
- Novelty of the research / project / topic
- Appropriateness of methodology
- Final suggestions on how to translate research findings / demo cases into planning policies and tools
Within the evaluation process, the Scientific Committee may change the thematic track of the abstract and invite the author(s) to present it in a different form (e.g. poster instead of oral presentation). You will be informed on the result of the evaluation process via e-mail by mid-May.
Please note that a full paper submission is not requested to present at SSPCR 2022.
