Abstracts review criteria
Review criteria
Sent abstracts will be anonymously evaluated by a group of reviewers who are specialists in each of the thematic areas. If a reviewer has a conflict of interests and cannot review an abstract, it will be allocated to another reviewer. For any other incident, including ties between, the Delegate Committee of SEORL-CCC will resolve it.
The Scientific Committee will reserve the right to propose the change of format from an oral or video presentation to a poster if they believe this is most appropriate. This proposal will be communicated to the authors for the acceptance of the change of format.
