Writing a Strong Abstract
Submitting an abstract to AGU25 is your chance to connect with a global network of Earth and space scientists. A well-crafted abstract can set your research apart and secure your spot at the meeting. Here's how to make yours stand out.
1. Start with a Clear, Compelling Title
Your title is the first thing reviewers and attendees will see—make it count. It should be:
- Descriptive of your research focus.
- Concise (300-character limit).
- Engaging, while avoiding jargon.
2. Write a Focused Abstract Text
Your abstract (maximum 2,000 characters, including punctuation but excluding spaces) should be:
- Structured around your scientific results or their application.
- Clear on the purpose, methods, findings and implications.
- Free of unnecessary background or future plans—stick to what’s been done and what it means.
3. Write a Plain-Language Summary (Optional)
Highly recommended, a plain-language summary (200-word limit) can:
- Make your research accessible to a wider audience, including reporters.
- Help public and interdisciplinary visibility.
- Increase your abstract’s chances of being highlighted or shared.
4. Include One Image (Optional)
You may upload one image to support your abstract. Make sure it: Is high-resolution and relevant. Aids in understanding, and is not just decoration.
5. Presentation Preferences
You can indicate your preference for a poster-only presentation or in-person/online participation.
