ISDS would like to thank all
those who answered the call to be a part of the exciting 2013 ISDS Conference
program by submitting an abstract for presentation at the upcoming Conference.
2013 Abstract Submission Overview
Abstracts were submitted in
four different categories: analytical methods (49 submissions), informatics (53
submissions), policy (15 submissions), and practice (98 submissions). The
figure below highlights the keywords of abstracts submitted within each of
these categories.
As expected most authors opted to submit for oral presentation (141 abstracts), with 58 submitting for poster, 4 for panel, and 8 for roundtable presentation. New this year, the 2013 ISDS Scientific Program Committee also accepted an additional submission type: lightning talks! These presentation options provide even more opportunity for the community to develop an engaging and relevant program.
Authors from 36 different
countries submitted, which is an ISDS record (see map below).
Abstract Review
We are now into the abstract
review period. During this time, each abstract will be rated by at least three volunteer
reviewers – an exceptional group of experts and seasoned ISDS Conference
presenters. Acceptance decisions will be based on judgments of relevance, originality,
methodology, and quality. Notifications will be sent to contact authors by
October 4, 2013.
