Abstract management
Abstract management is the process of submitting abstracts , handling them and preparing them for presentations at scientific conferences and congresses . Abstracts can be requested from the organizer or submitted by the authors themselves. The abstracts usually contain the usual hypotheses , the research tools used, the data collected and the summary or interpretation of the research data.
Abstracts usually go through a scientific review and are evaluated by a committee . The relevant abstracts will then be presented at congresses and events in the form of lectures or posters . In addition, abstracts can be published in conference proceedings or specialist journals. Other forms are the publications as a mobile app , abstract book, on CD-ROM or USB stick and in an online archive.
Abstract management represents a high administrative effort and can therefore be outsourced to service providers who develop and use automated processes.
Special software supports the management of abstracts and is usually divided into typical workflows: The submission can be made online, for example, by the author adding the relevant data (text, images and graphics) and documents (e.g. curriculum vitae , further information ) uploads. The online assessment is usually anonymized to avoid conflicts of interest. Finally, accepted abstracts are compiled as conference content and can be published in various media and channels.
