The submission of abstracts, extended abstracts and full papers involves several steps. Prepare your abstract, “in progress” theoretical or empirical paper or case studies, extended abstracts or full paper. Extended abstracts (3 to 5 pages) describing your study are acceptable in lieu of a full paper. Each submission must be accompanied by a Submission Form that includes names and affiliations for each author, the track and title of the manuscript.  To upload Submission (click) you will be asked to create an IAMB online profile (if you have not done so), log in and then upload your paper (see Submission tutorials below for help.)

**** Submission deadline is – August 19, 2021 ****

Please review the Guidelines for Submission of Abstracts and Manuscripts prior to your submission.

When the paper/abstract is received, it will be peer reviewed by the Program Committee. Authors will receive notification by email whether their paper/abstract was accepted with other appropriate instructions. In the case of multiple authors, only the corresponding author will be notified. He or she is responsible for notifying co-authors.

Once a submission has been accepted for presentation, at least one of the authors must register for the conference in order to present. The allocated time for your presentation and the program schedule will be emailed to the authors prior to the start of the conference. Accepted manuscripts may be revised and re-submitted. In order for a paper to be included in the Conference Proceedings, final revised manuscript must be submitted before October 7, 2021.
