Abstracts Reviewing Criteria

In a scientific conference, abstracts usually undergo a review process by the conference's professional or scientific committee. After the review, a chairperson or committee decides to accept or reject the abstract. If the abstract is accepted - the author is invited to present his research as an oral talk or poster during the event.

Event organizers can use an Abstract Management Software like Eventact to streamline and automate the abstract review process.
