2024 Call for Abstracts
Abstract submission is now closed.
The 2024 SD-APS meeting program will consist of oral and poster presentations presented in person. Abstracts must be submitted online (submission link below) by December 13, 2023. Please be sure to indicate (1) if you want to have your abstract published, (2) if you wish to give a poster or oral presentation, and (3) if you wish to participate in the Graduate Student Research Award Competition or the Graduate Student Poster Competition (see notes below). Due to time limitations within the overall program, the number of oral presentations in the Graduate Student Research Competition and the Oral Technical Session will be limited. Presenters will be assigned available spots in these sessions based on the order of submission (and completed requirements for the Graduate Student Research Award Competition); once spots for oral presentations are filled, remaining abstracts requested for oral presentations will be shifted to a poster presentation. All abstracts must be reviewed by all authors AND peer-reviewed by two additional people. You will have to certify on the abstract submission form that all authors and two additional people have reviewed your abstract. Presenting authors MUST register for the meeting by January 18, 2024, to prevent having their abstracts withdrawn from the program. Meeting participants submitting abstracts will be notified by January 26, 2024, of the status of their abstract in the meeting program.
The SD-APS meeting is an excellent opportunity for graduate students to obtain presentation experience at a professional meeting. Students who do not wish to participate in the Graduate Student Research Award Competition or who are not able to be included in the Graduate Student Research Award Competition may choose to present their abstract as a non-competitive oral presentation, non-competitive poster presentation, or competitive poster presentation (Graduate Student Poster Competition). Non-student members may also submit abstracts for inclusion in the oral technical session or the poster presentations. Additional requirements for the Graduate Student Research Award Competition and the Graduate Student Poster Competition are listed on the respective webpages.
Abstract payments: An abstract submission fee ($45) is required for ALL abstracts submitted for presentation (oral or poster) at the 2024 SD-APS Meeting. You must indicate if you want your abstract published or not published on the abstract submission form. Abstract submission fees must be paid at the time of abstract submission. There are no refunds for withdrawn abstracts.
Abstract acceptance and submission: Criteria for abstract acceptance and submission will be based on the
SD-APS abstract guidelines.
Oral presentation guidelines: Fifteen minutes will be allowed for each oral presentation in the Graduate Student Research Award Competition and between 12 to 15 minutes will be allowed for each oral presentation in the Oral Technical Sessions. (Presentation times for the Oral Technical Session will depend on the number of abstracts received.) There are 25 slots available for presentations in the Graduate Student Research Award Competition and approximately 12-15 slots available for presentations in the Oral Technical Session. Notification will be emailed to all presenting authors by January 26, 2024.
Poster presentation guidelines: Posters will follow standard APS guidelines. Posters should be displayed by 8:00 AM ET on February 27, 2024, and should remain available for viewing until 5:00 PM ET on February 28, 2024.
