Abstract Formatting (Step 4)
Please adhere to the Abstract Formatting Guide below because these abstracts will eventually be published in the conference program and we would like them to be uniform.
1) Type all abstracts using . . .
- Times New Roman, 12 point font and
- 1.5 line spacing
2) Center and bold the following information:
- Title of Session or Paper: bold, initial capitals
- Authors First & Last Name: bold and initial capitals
- Institute of affiliation: bold and initial capitals
3) Type the content of the abstract using Times New Roman, 12 point font
4) Limit the abstract length to 250 words.
5) Provide 3-5 keywords
6) Type all of the above in English
The Use of Non-Sexist Language
Abstract submissions should not contain sexist language. The following are suggestions for avoiding sexist language:
- Delete pronouns (e.g., “The student completed the task,” rather than “The student completed his task.”
- Where possible, avoid using sex-specific forms generically. (e.g., “The participants gave feedback on their actions” rather than “Each participant gave feedback on her actions.”)
- Unless relevant, do not use the sex of the referent (e.g.,. use coach, mentee, participant)
- Avoid sex-stereotypical assumptions about people, their abilities, attitudes and relationship.
Promotional material
No company logos or other promotional material should be included in the abstract submission. In case you want to become a sponsor or advertise your material/organization, please contact the Organising Committee chairperson Bob Fecho at bfecho@uga.edu.
