Abstract
- Abstracts must include sufficient information for reviewers to judge the nature and significance of the topic, the adequacy of investigative strategies, the nature of results, and conclusions.
- The abstract should summarise the substantive results of the work, and should not merely list topics to be discussed.
- Abstracts should be no more than 300 words, formatted in Microsoft Word, and single-spaced, using size 12 Times New Roman font.
- Abstracts highlight major points of your research and explain why your work is important; what your purpose was, how you went about your project, what you learned, and what you concluded.
- If your title includes scientific notation, Greek letters, bold, italics, or other special characters/symbols, do make sure they appear correctly.
- List all additional co-authors, whether they are or are not presenting, if applicable.
- List additional faculty mentors, if applicable.
