What is an abstract management system & How does it work?

As the word suggests, an abstract summarizes a larger document, primarily used in academic content (such as a research paper). When several authors prepare their abstracts and submit it to a conference through an online channel, it is referred to as abstract submission. This process of abstract submission and management is where an abstract management system comes into play.

Abstracts management, i.e., the process of receiving, accepting, preparing, and reviewing abstracts, can be made easy & efficient via abstract management software.

It saves time and prevents any data loss

Instead of conventional manual work, an abstract management system assists in end-to-end management of abstracts, including setting content requirements and deadlines, forming a team, determining each person’s engagement, collecting and reviewing abstracts, and publishing the final proceedings. This allows staff to stay on top of the work, from managers overlooking the work to people responsible for doing the work. It enables all team members to stay organized and on the same page, which is the key to higher efficiency hence an optimal use of resources.
