Abstracts

• Ensure your membership is in good standing
• Select a theme that most closely aligns with your abstract.
• Enter your contact name, affiliation/institution name and email address (please note authors may specify only one affiliation). Submitters will be the main contact for all correspondence.
• Enter all corresponding authors in the order they should appear in the program. Please note – author names and affiliations will appear in the program EXACTLY as they are entered into the submission form.
• Prepare an abstract title (max 255-character limit)
• Prepare the abstract (max 4000-character limit, including spaces)
• By submitting an abstract, you agree to present at the Annual Congress, should your abstract be selected for the program.
• You may only be the first author on one submission.
• Abstracts should not report findings that will be published elsewhere prior to the meeting, although presentation of the work at a recent meeting (e.g., within a year) of another society is acceptable.
• Use standard abbreviations for units of measure. Other abbreviations should be spelled out in full on first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses.
• The abstract should state the study's objective, briefly describe the methods used, summarize the results obtained, and state the conclusions.
• If submitting a pre-registration or study plan, be clear as to what is complete, what is in progress and will be complete by Flux, and what is planned.
• You may copy paste and format, directly from a document software (ex. Microsoft Word) to your Conference Manager submission.

* Standard submission: A standard abstract for data analysis that has already been completed for the study. The abstract should state the study’s objective, briefly describe the methods used, summarize the results obtained, and state the conclusions. Ideally, these sections will be indicated explicitly. Abstracts should emphasize the significance of results and general principles rather than describe common methods and procedures.

* Pre-registration: Abstract for study that you plan to conduct (or have collected already but not analyzed), and pre-register your hypotheses & data analysis plans. The abstract should state the study’s objective, describe the methods and analysis plans for each hypothesis, and discuss general implications of the study. The data analysis should be completed before the conference to include the results and conclusion in the presentation.

* Study design or data analysis plan: This Abstract is similar as for the preregistration, but you are not required to have completed data collection or analysis before the conference.
