RULES FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS

The person submitting the abstract will serve as the main author (the main point of contact for correspondence.) It will be assumed that this person will also deliver the paper or poster at the Conference.

1. Abstract Submission Deadline: 21 February 2005. Abstracts submitted after this date will not be considered.

2. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts online. * Please do not submit an abstract more than once.

A confirmation email acknowledging the receipt of an abstract will be sent to the main author at the email address provided upon successful submission. Presenters will be notified of abstract acceptance/rejection and form of presentation by email no later than 18 May 2005.

3. Correspondence will be sent to the presenting author only, at the email address provided.

4. All main authors of accepted abstracts are required to register for the Conference by 29 July 2005. Failure to do this will result in the abstract being excluded from the programme. We encourage authors to register by 10 June 2005, in order to take advantage of the Early Bird registration rate.

5. All abstracts will be considered on the basis of individual merit by the Scientific Committee, and will be ranked according to the following criteria:
   1. Relevance to the conference theme, “New Developments in Science and Practice: Influences on Child Protection”
   2. Relevance to the selected stream
   3. Importance and relevance of the content to the European audience.
6. Abstracts may be submitted in English or German. The official conference language is English with two streams to be delivered in German. Abstracts submitted in German will be considered for the German Stream or the Open Stream. Authors willing to present in both languages should indicate this option on the abstract submission form.
7. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words and should include objectives/purpose, method, results and conclusions (please click here to see a sample abstract). All abstracts should be single spaced. 12-point Times New Roman font is preferred.
