1
Know your audience
![Page 3: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Get a feel for what the conference committee would like to see from submitted abstracts.
Abstracts accepted for presentation at ISHI 26 will be reviewed and selected based on novelty, community interest, and scientific merit.
To view what’s been presented in the past, visit the International Symposium on Human Identity Conference Proceedings.

Make sure your work is complete
![Page 5: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Before submitting an abstract, it is wise to have made sure that your work is completed.
The conclusions of your work are very important, and by leaving them out of the abstract, it is difficult for the review committee to decide if your presentation is suitable for ISHI.

Get permission from co-authors

If you are working with others, make sure you get their permission before you submit an abstract.
By submitting an abstract, you consent to the publication of the abstract in the program, both in print on the conference website and in the mobile Guidebook app.

Brevity is important
![Page 9: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
As the review committee reads through many abstracts, it’s important not to lose your audience in unnecessary details.
Limit your title to 200 characters and your text to 2,200 characters.
![Page 10: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Familiarize your audience
![Page 11: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It’s important to consider that members of the review committee have most likely not read your research in its entirety.
Think of the abstract as a separate document aimed at connecting solidly with ISHI.
![Page 12: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Note the deadlines
![Page 13: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Oral abstracts must be received by June 12th, and poster abstracts are due by August 1st.
Keep these deadlines in mind as you prepare your abstract, and include time to review your abstract to ensure there are no spelling and grammatical mistakes.
You may also wish to leave time for a colleague to review your abstract prior to submission.

Mind the agenda
![Page 15: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
If your abstract is accepted for presentation, you will be allotted between 20-30 minutes to speak and field questions from the audience.
Make sure what you are proposing to present can fill this time slot without running over.

Make the right impression
![Page 17: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Choose your title carefully. This is your first impression on the review committee.
![Page 18: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Paragraph 1 – Define the problem
![Page 19: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Use the first paragraph to explain the context of your research, including the particular issue or question that your research seeks to solve.
Why is this topic relevant to the ISHI community?
You can also use this paragraph to demonstrate your knowledge on the topic.
![Page 20: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Paragraph 2 – Explain your research
![Page 21: 12 Tips for Writing Abstracts the Review Committee Will Love](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051707/58ecfc9a1a28abf40e8b45c9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
This is where you’ll dive into what you’ll be presenting. Outline your project and the techniques used.
Most importantly, answer how you’ll solve the issue mentioned in the first paragraph.
Include enough information so that a person not as intimately involved in your work is able to understand your approach.
Include your results, but leave out graphs and figures.

The third paragraph will show how your research affects the wider context of human identification, and why it is novel and innovative.
Use this last paragraph to convince the review committee that you deserve time to present your research.

While it is helpful to track changes and show what others have suggested, be sure that “Show Markup” is turned off prior to submitting your abstract.
