Tips and Tricks for a Successful Abstract

When you submit an abstract to #FIHM22, your hard work and dedication to advancing discovery and solutions science will be viewed in-person and online by over 1,000 attendees in the water community.

Abstracts should focus on scientific results and/or their applications.

Steps for submitting an abstract

Please provide the following information when submitting your abstract by 26 January 2022:

1. Title: The abstract title is limited to 300 characters (including punctuation, but not spaces). The abstract title MUST be entered in initial upper case, for example: Mark the Dates of FIHM on Your Calendar.

2. Description: The abstract text is limited to 2,000 characters. The limit excludes spaces but includes punctuation.

3. Image (Optional): One image is allowed; supported file types include: JPEG image (*.jpg), PNG image (*.png), GIF image (*.gif).

4. Agree or decline to have your presentation recorded.

5. Plain Language Summary (Optional): First authors may choose to include a maximum of 200 words about their abstract.

6. Request the presentation format:

Authors can request that their presentation format be assigned by committee (oral, eLightning or poster session) on their abstract submission form or that their abstract should be considered for poster only.

Note: It is not possible to request only an oral presentation.

7. Choose online or in-person presentation: At this time, we are planning for FIHM 2022 to be both in-person and online so attendees can customize their participation. Some may choose to be 100% in-person or online while others may choose to do a mix of both.

ALL abstracts submitted are subject to acceptance and scheduling in a virtual session.

When you submit your abstract, you can indicate if you are prepared to only present virtually or if you are comfortable and have no preference presenting either virtually or in-person.

8. Indicate previously submitted material: Share if any of the presentation has been previously reported in scientific meetings, journals or in the news media.

9. Acknowledge the following items:

a. Abstract fees are processing fees and are non-refundable.

b. The abstract fee is not the online or in-person meeting registration fee.

c. The presenting author must register for and attend #FIHM22 online or in-person.

d. Agree to AGU's Meetings Code of Conduct.

e. Certify you are acting on behalf of the co-authors and given AGU permission to process data for the persons listed on this abstract in accordance with the AGU privacy policy.

10. List all coauthors:

  • The person submitting the abstract will automatically be listed as the first author and cannot be changed. The first author will also be the presenting author, unless another author is identified as the presenting author in the abstract submission form.
