ABSTRACT FORMATTING

Formatting of Abstracts for the Abstract Book including fonts, font sizes, underlining, bolding etc. will be done electronically by the Workshop Managers. Thus you can submit abstracts in any font and font size. We recommend that you submit your abstract Title in ALL CAPS (upper case text).

The primary author’s name will be underlined in the printed Abstract book. Abstract content will be printed in Times New Roman 10 pt. In order to fit into the space allotted, the body of each Abstract is limited to 2500 characters including spaces and punctuation. This is the maximum number of characters that the online submission will accept for an abstract.

To include Greek letters, superscript or subscript text in your abstract, you will need to use the buttons above the abstract field on the input form. If you need assistance with this, please feel free to contact us at 503.244.4294, etc. 202 or email to Register@ConferenceSolutionsInc.com.
