Abstract Submission is now open for the September and December eSymposia events.
Submission will close August 3, 2021.
All submitted abstracts will be accepted unless deemed inappropriate and the author will be notified if that is the case.
Important: review all guidelines and form information before beginning your submission.You will need to login with your IS-MPMI username and password
Upon beginning an abstract submission, you will receive an email with a link to access your submission. You may use this link to access/edit/complete your submission at any time before the submission deadline.
Abstract Submission Fee: $45 USD per abstract submitted*
*Upon abstract acceptance, you will receive a $10 discount code to be used towards your registration fee
- Payment by credit card via the form; if you wish to pay via wire transfer, complete your submission through the Abstract Payment page and then email
ismpmicongress@scisoc.org indicating you wish to pay by wire transfer.
- The abstract submission fee will be waived for those submitters who are from
Countries with Developing Economies. To request your waiver, please begin your abstract submission. Once you reach the payment step, contact
IS-MPMI Headquarters.
All abstract presenters will present their abstracts virtually via ePosters.
ePoster Presentation Date: You will have the ability to select the eSymposia category that best fits your research. Each category corresponds to specific eSymposia dates. There is also the option to have the Program Team place your abstract in a category. After the Program Team completes the review of abstracts, we will contact you with the date and time your ePoster has been assigned.
Submission Guidelines
Important Considerations Before You Submit an Abstract
- Edit and proof your abstract before submitting. IS-MPMI will not edit abstract submissions; they will be published as submitted.
- Prior to submission, abstracts must be reviewed by two non-authors.
- The designated presenting author must be registered for the IS-MPMI eSymposia during which they will present. The registration deadline and date of presentation will be provided with abstract acceptance letters in June 2021. Failure to register will result in your abstract being withdrawn from the meeting.
- Abstracts should be proofed to make sure all authors and affiliations were accepted to the online form.
- Publication of tables, charts, and graphs projected onto screens or posted at the eSymposia by anyone other than an author or presenter is prohibited unless a release has been requested and received in writing from an author or presenter.
Acceptance Criteria
- Abstracts must report results of original research or other activity of significant merit.
- Abstracts must include the following elements: justification, objectives, methods, results, and significance of the research to the science of molecular plant-microbe interactions.
- Abstracts must not be simply a review or progress report but contain useful and new information. Abstracts must not include references or footnotes.
- Abstracts must be in final form with no grammatical, typographical, or factual errors.
- No abstract that has been presented or is intended to be presented at another meeting shall be submitted for consideration.
Terms and Conditions
By submitting an abstract to IS-MPMI for 2021 Congress eSymposia Series, submitters agree to the following terms & conditions:
If the abstract is accepted, I agree that the designated presenting author will present the abstract at the assigned eSymposia, and will register and pay the registration fee by the required deadline. I understand that failure to complete the above terms will result in the withdrawal of my abstract from the meeting program.
Non-US Government Submitters:
I confirm that this is an original work and that the abstract has not been previously published. I and any contributing authors, as sole proprietors of the abstract, agree to transfer copyright of the abstract to The International Society for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions (IS-MPMI). Abstracts will be posted online in June 2021. By agreeing, I accept this copyright transfer.
US Government Submitters
I hereby confirm that the abstract submitted, having been created by an employee or agency of the U.S. government or for some other reason, is not eligible for copyright transfer to IS-MPMI, is in the public domain, and as such may be reproduced freely. I acknowledge that IS-MPMI is relying on this statement in determining that the work is copyright free.
Canadian Government Submitters
If your work is protected by “© Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada,” please add that copyright statement at the end of your abstract
I understand that failure to accept the applicable copyright transfer or public domain notice will result in the immediate cancellation of my abstract submission.
