LIMITATION ON THE NUMBER OF ABSTRACTS
Due to the size of the event, and to the emphasis on students’ participation, each corresponding author may submit a maximum of three abstracts (corresponding authors who registered as students are limited to a maximum submission of two abstracts). [Note: A corresponding author is the author who submits the abstract and receives all correspondence related to the abstract.]
The registration fee paid by the corresponding author covers only his/her first abstract. Corresponding authors (including students) who wish to submit additional abstracts must pay a fee of USD $200 for each additional abstract.
Payment of the additional fee applies only to the corresponding author of each paper. You may be a coauthor (and not a corresponding author) on as many abstracts as desired without your payment of the additional fees.
