About
A conference abstract is a challenging writing project because its author must tell a complete story in a limited number of words. The author might also be challenged to define the audience, to not divulge proprietary information, and to submit the abstract long before the conference but perhaps not long after arriving at the conclusions of the study. In this webinar, we will discuss what should into an abstract, what should not go into an abstract, how to structure an abstract, and how to attract positive attention to your abstract at the outset. Sentences of 35 words, like the previous sentence, are not recommended! In addition to sharing tips gained from reviewing many abstracts for a variety of geoscience conferences, we will review ethical issues related to publication. A few resources to help authors will keep you glued to your screen until the question and answer session.
