All abstracts are blinded and peer reviewed according to specific criteria. Research in progress is acceptable as long as tentative, data-based conclusions are stated in the abstract. Poster presentations and non-research presentations will be selected on the basis of topic, quality of material, and available space. If a significant number of attendees could obtain or have obtained this information elsewhere, it may cause your abstract to receive a lower rating. Abstracts that include identifying information (e.g., author names, degrees, titles, institutions, and nonprofit organizations) will not be accepted for presentation.
Abstracts will be assessed based on the following points:
- Is the topic original or innovative? Will the presentation provide new information?
- Is the topic important/relevant? Is the topic appropriate for ACPA’s Annual Meeting?
- Is the information well organized?
- Are there significant practical and/or theoretical implications of the information to be presented?
- Is the required information from the Abstract Submission Guidelines included?
