During submission, you will be asked to provide the name and affiliation for the presenting author, the names of any co-authors, select an abstract category, type of abstract (Oral or Poster), and type or copy and paste your abstract (2,000 character limit, including spaces). Additionally, contact information for the presenting author should be provided. Please note that the email address provided should be the same email address the presenting author uses to register for the Congress.

Q: Can I revise my abstract after it has been submitted?
A: Once you click “Submit Your Abstract” through the web portal, you will not be able to make any changes or edits. If you must modify your abstract, you should withdrawal your original submission (see below “How do I withdrawal my Abstract”) and resubmit with any corrections. Please note that it may take the system up to 2 days before letting you resubmit.

Q: How many abstracts can I submit?
A: A presenting author may submit NO MORE THAN 1 abstract for consideration. The presenting author may be listed as a co-author on an unlimited number of abstracts submitted for review. Please note that authors may not submit the same research; abstracts containing identical or nearly identical data from the same institution and/or individuals will be rejected.

Q: How do I know my abstract has been submitted successfully?
A: Once your abstract has been successfully submitted, the presenting author only will receive an email acknowledgement from the online submission system. If you do not receive this email, this means your abstract is incomplete. Please attempt to submit.

Q: Can I submit my abstract under more than one type of submission?
A: No, abstracts may only be submitted for consideration under one type of submission, Oral or Poster. However, oral submissions not selected for a platform presentation will automatically be reviewed for a poster submission.

Q: When will I find out if my abstract has been accepted for presentation?
A: ISFG 2022 will send an email notification to the presenting author on May 15, 2022. Only the person listed as the presenting author will receive this notification. The presenting author is then responsible for notifying any co-authors. Notifications will be sent to all presenting authors whether the abstract is accepted or rejected.

Q: How do I withdraw my abstract?
A: If you decide to withdraw your abstract you must notify the ISFG in writing via email at isfg2022abstracts@gmail.com.

Q: Are their registration requirements for presenting authors?

Presenting authors must be registered for the ISFG 2022 Congress by June 15, 2022 or their abstract will automatically be withdrawn from the program. Please note that presenting authors need to use the same email address to both register for the Congress and submit their abstract.
