![Page 4: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Your abstract is sent to
four (4) ORS reviewers
to be scored
![Page 5: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How many ORS reviewers are there??
![Page 6: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Which reviewers will review MY abstract??
Reviewers are assigned to review abstracts based on
the first, second and third keywords selected during submission
![Page 7: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
TIP #1:
Be sure to select the “right” keywords and
the order matters, so put the most relevant first
![Page 8: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
All abstracts are reviewed “blinded”
meaning = they do not include authors names
or institution(s)
**Please note, although you make think they are, no reviewers are actually blindfolded during the review process
![Page 9: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What if there is a conflict?E.g. if the reviewer is assigned an
abstract from their lab, or they know whose work it is?
Answer – the abstract will get reassigned
![Page 10: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How are abstracts scored?
1 = Innovative and Technically Excellent (should be a podium
presentation)
Tip #2 : This is what to strive for!!!!
![Page 11: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2 = Solid Work
3= Acceptable
4 = Exclude (bottom 25%)
![Page 12: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
After all 4 reviews have been received, the mean score is
calculated
![Page 13: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Now the Topic Chairs do their work -
Selecting the highest scored andmost innovative abstracts and organizing them into podium sessions
![Page 14: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Podium sessions are created from abstracts scoring
“1.0” to “2.0”
![Page 15: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What happens if my abstract is
accepted, but not as a podium
presentation?
![Page 16: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
It is presented as a POSTER
![Page 17: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Program Meeting Day
The Program Committee meets for 2 days to review all suggested
podium presentations and lays them out hour-by-hour, day-by-day
![Page 18: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The committee tries to avoid conflicts in the program between authors and institutions to ensure
they are not scheduled in the same session, or in the same time slot
![Page 20: The Story of an Abstract](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a6cfa8a7f8b9ad6418b481b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The committee also checks for multiple abstracts from the same group that are very similar, but happen to have different titles.
These are either rejected or the group is asked to combine them
Tip #3 Best to avoid this altogether.
The committee is pretty smart.
