We invite abstracts for presentations and posters at International Data Week’s SciDataCon 2022: Data to Improve our World. The deadline for proposals is 23:59 UTC on Monday 25 April 2022. Submit your paper or poster proposal at https://www.scidatacon.org/IDW-2022/submit/
We particularly look forward to welcoming proposals from those working in Korea and / or on topics relevant to research data in the Korean context.
Please be sure to consult the pages About SciDataCon 2022 and International Data Week 2022 and SciDataCon 2022 Themes before preparing your proposal.
Submitting an abstract: presentations and posters
We encourage you to submit your presentation or poster abstract via this link: https://www.scidatacon.org/IDW-2022/submit/
If you have not already done so, you will need to create a SciDataCon account. Please note that creating such an account is not the same as registering for the conference.
Presentation abstracts must be submitted to the ‘Conference Abstracts’ category. Click [Submit abstract]. In the submission form, you should select the [General Presentation Submissions] ‘session’.
Abstracts will be peer reviewed for individual quality and, if accepted, will be assigned to an accepted session or grouped into thematic sessions by the SciDataCon Programme Committee. Accepted abstracts will be available from the conference website and will form a persistent collection, so please consider the following recommendations carefully:
- Please submit your proposal of a length appropriate to the intervention. For example, we recommend that the proposal for a research paper should be 600-900 words and for a practice paper 300-600 words. These are guides and please use your judgement. We strongly discourage proposals of more than 900 words.
- The proposal should clearly specify the core idea, the context of the research or practice, and the audience to whom it is relevant. Insufficiently developed proposals will not be selected.
Poster abstracts must be submitted to the Conference Posters category. Click [Submit poster abstract]. In the submission form, you should select the [General Poster Submissions] ‘session’.
Posters will appear in dedicated virtual and in-person poster sessions. Posters can often be a more effective way of communicating key technical features of a paper and providing a visual summary that really engages the viewer. For a Poster Abstract we suggest 300-600 words and certainly no more than 900 words in length.
Next steps and timescales
Session proposals have already been submitted and selected sessions will be published in the preliminary programme on 21 March 2022.
We encourage you to submit your presentation or poster abstract as soon as possible. If selected, presentations submitted before 21 March will be organised into thematic sessions by the SciDataCon Programme Committee as appropriate.
Presentations proposed after 21 March can be submitted directly to an organised session if sessions organisers have allowed room for open submissions; or can continue to be submitted to the general presentation abstracts category.
Selected presentations will be notified no later than 16 May 2022, when we will also publish the final programme.
