The Abstract Review Process
ATS abstract submissions undergo a rigorous review process by volunteer experts in the field. The process involves multiple rounds of review to ensure that accepted abstracts are of high quality and align with the conference theme.
1. Initial Screening
All abstract submissions undergo an initial screening to ensure that they meet the submission guidelines, including length, formatting, and topic relevance. Abstracts that do not pass this initial screening are not eligible for further review.
2. Peer Review
Abstracts that pass the initial screening are assigned to a panel of peer reviewers. Each abstract is typically reviewed by two or three reviewers who evaluate its scientific merit, originality, clarity, and relevance to the conference theme.
3. Reviewer Scoring
Reviewers use a standardized scoring system to evaluate each abstract. The scoring system includes criteria such as scientific content, methodological rigor, and relevance to the conference theme. Each abstract is assigned an overall score based on the reviewers’ individual scores.
4. Panel Review
The abstract review panel meets to discuss the scores and comments provided by the reviewers. The panel makes decisions on which abstracts to accept for presentation at the conference. Abstracts with the highest overall scores are typically accepted.
5. Acceptance Notification
Authors of accepted abstracts are notified via email. The notification typically includes instructions on how to complete the abstract submission process, including uploading the full abstract text and registering for the conference. Abstracts that are not accepted may be invited to submit a revised version for consideration as a poster presentation or workshop proposal.
