ABSTRACT SUBMISSION NOW CLOSED

Extended abstracts: Final publication will be in the form of extended abstracts which will be up to three pages in total and which can include figures and tables.

Deadline: Following multiple requests, there is a very short extension period to Wednesday 15 January 2020.

Reviewing: All abstracts will be reviewed by at least two members of the SPPL2020 scientific committee.

Formatting: Abstracts should be written in English and should be no longer than two pages of A4-format. Abstracts should be single-spaced and in Calibri 11pt font. A single-column format should be used with 2.54 cm margins top/bottom and left/right. Do not include page numbers. References, figures and/or tables can be added on an additional (third) page. Please include author names and affiliations under the abstract title.

Final version post-acceptance: Authors will be requested to submit a final version of the extended abstract after acceptance and will need to follow more detailed formatting guidelines circulated after acceptance. Minor changes will be possible following reviewers comments and the graphs/tables can then be integrated within the abstract.
