Rules for Abstract Submissions

Note: Abstracts that are not submitted properly will receive an administrative reject and will not be reviewed.

1.   Abstracts must be submitted properly. The online system is a database, with data fields (title, author 1, author 2, author 3, etc.) that are used to generate the published abstracts. Therefore, pay careful attention to the submission instructions and to the submission process, including spelling, capitalization, author names, etc. No abstract will be accepted through emails or any other mode of communication.
2.   The title of the abstract must be in title case, not all capital letters.
3.   3.All abstracts must include the required headers listed below:
   • Introduction: a brief discussion of the background or rationale of the study and/or the question addressed
   • Methods: the experimental approach, materials, and methods used in the study
   • Results: the data and results obtained in the study
   • Conclusions: the conclusions and/or implications of the results

   • Number of authors: 10

   • Abstracts that have been submitted to meetings that occur earlier, should be revised, e.g., with additional data, before submitting to the MPAICON 2026
   • No change in abstract will be allowed once submitted
   • Submission of abstract carries with it an obligation to present the accepted abstract in person without any change in Sceintific content during the allotted time in MPAICON 2026.
7.   Your abstract will be rated using four criteria:
   • Originality and Clarity
   • Novelty
   • Scientific Merit/Rigor
   • Appropriate conclusions

Abstract Review

Abstracts for the MPAICON 2026 will undergo blind review, i.e., the reviewers will not be able to see the names or the affiliations of the abstract author(s). Please refrain from including identifiers in the body of your abstract. The Program Committee will be able to see author and affiliation information after review, during the assignment of platform presentations.
