About the Journal

Upon publication of the ICPA 2020 posterbook, each papers will have an individual DOI for subsequent citation/reference. 

 

Instructions

To prepare your long abstract, a template will be available on the ICPA XXI website. Long abstracts should have a maximum of 1600 and will amount to 4 printed pages in the poster book. Word counts exclude the title, authors, and affiliations, but include all other text from the first word of the introduction to the last word of the acknowledgments (or References if there are no Acknowledgements).

The number of words must be reduced if you choose to include tables/figures. If you use tables/figures, subtract 200 words per table/figure from the maximum number of words (1600) to determine the paper length.

0 Tables/Figures = 1600 words

1 Tables/Figures = 1400 words

2 Tables/Figures = 1200 word

3 Tables/Figures = 1000 words

*The Editors reserve the right to edit papers for length if necessary.
