2012 Poster Abstract Review Criteria and Guidelines
CSUPERB accepts abstracts from CSU students and faculty from biotechnology-related disciplines, including but not limited to life science, physical science, clinical science, math, computer science, agricultural science, engineering and/or business.
As you draft your abstracts, please keep in mind that you’ll be competing against faculty-student teams system-wide for the opportunity to present at the 2012 Symposium in Santa Clara. A committee of CSUPERB Faculty Consensus Group members reviews all abstracts submitted based on the review criteria below - please pay attention to them to have your best shot at acceptance and don't wait until the deadline to draft your abstract!
Poster board size will be 8' wide by 4' tall.
2012 Review Criteria
- Poster abstracts should include original data and results. Literature reviews are not eligible. The most competitive abstracts make it clear what has been accomplished, what methods were used, and what conclusions have been drawn from the data presented.
- Poster abstracts should be readable and present ideas with clarity.The most competitive abstracts provide enough background so reviewers can understand the significance of the work and how it might add to what is already known. In addition, successful abstracts make it clear what the authors are hoping to accomplish or clearly explain the specific aim(s) of of the overall project.
- Poster abstracts should use correct spelling and punctuation. CSUPERB does not correct typos, formatting issues or misspellings before abstracts are reviewed or the abstracts are published on the internet.
Other 2012 Abstract Submission Guidelines
Poster titles should be descriptive (limit 255 characters).
Abstracts are limited to 2500 characters.
Spaces and formatting code count toward the character limits (255 for the title, and 2500 for the abstract body).
Project funding and other acknowledgments should be included in abstracts.
Enter up to 3 keywords to help the organizing committee group posters at the Symposium (for example: species name, field of research, technique).
Please remember that CSUPERB solicits both research and curricular/program development abstracts. Curricular or program development results and data may pertain, for example, to ‘user communities,’ ‘lessons learned,’ enrollments and assessments.
