Abstract Instructions
The Review Process
Submissions will be judged and accepted for the meeting based on clarity, substance and appropriateness for the meeting. It is particularly important that the biological relevance of the research be made clear. OCNS strongly believes in the open exchange of ideas and rejections are usually based on absence of biological relevance (e.g., pure machine learning). We will notify authors of abstract acceptance by April 16, 2010.
Submissions to be considered for oral presentation will be reviewed by two independent referees and results of the review process will be used to construct the oral program. In addition to perceived quality and significance, the novelty of the research and the diversity and coherence of the overall program will be considerations for selection as an oral presentation. We particularly encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply for an oral presentation. To ensure diversity, those who have given talks in the recent past will not be selected and multiple oral presentations from the same lab will be discouraged. Most oral presentations will be 20 minutes in length, but a few papers will be selected for longer "featured oral" presentations.
All accepted papers not selected for oral talks may be presented during the poster sessions. Authors will be notified of the presentation format of their papers by the end of April.
OPEN ACCESS, CITABLE ABSTRACT PUBLICATION:
The formatted abstracts will be published as a Supplement to the online journal BMC Neuroscience. Last year's abstracts are at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2202/10?issue=S1.
The supplement is citable, indexed by PubMed, and open access.
At least one author must register for CNS*2010 by the early registration deadline in order for the abstract to be published and included in the program book.
