Enhancing Interdisciplinary Research Through Abstract Management Tools

How Abstract Management Systems (AMS) Are Enhancing Interdisciplinary Research

Academia and research sectors have changed incredibly over the last decade. Gone are the days when researchers worked in their labs and rooms without venturing beyond their specific disciplines. Fast forward to today, some of the most decisive discoveries for mankind have happened at the intersection of multiple fields. As a result, interdisciplinary research is booming now more than ever.

This trend has some important implications for modern-day conference organizers. Planners must now account for the interests and goals of several different academic disciplines within one room. Traditional paper-based submission systems simply cannot handle the demands of modern interdisciplinary conferences. It is time to pause and rethink your approach.

Managing interdisciplinary research events might seem daunting, to say the least. However, abstract management system platforms are now making this process smoother and more intuitive than ever.

Setting up a peer review system for abstract submissions can be critical to managing a conference or academic event. Dryfta is a platform that helps organizers manage various aspects of their event, including abstract submission and peer review.

 

Setting up a Peer Review System

Participants often submit abstracts, research summaries, or presentations when organizing an academic conference or event. Before these abstracts are accepted and scheduled for presentation, they usually undergo a quality check. This quality check is known as “peer review.”

  • Peer Review: During peer review process, the submitted abstracts are reviewed by experts (peers) in the respective field to ensure that the content is of high quality, original, and relevant to the conference topic. Reviewers evaluate the abstracts based on various criteria, such as relevance to the topic, originality, clarity, and validity of the methodology and results.

The Benefits of Using an Abstract Management System

 

Abstract Management System

 

Since the dawn of email, its main shortcoming has been that it’s rarely concise or categorizable. Naturally, this poses a considerable challenge when coordinating conferences in which minute detail and adherence to regulations are of utmost importance for a successful outcome. This issue is primarily a consequence of a few ways one can immediately obtain all their required information from a quick scan of an email.

 

Shortcomings of email correspondence for abstract management

Submitting proposals over email is another roadblock to the smooth running of research conferences. Often the candidate/researchers will not be aware of the criteria their proposal must meet, leading to frustrating confusion, delayals, and unnecessarily increased workload.
A possible solution to this common problem is to inform all potential participants of the expected due dates, word counts, etc. However, adherence to these guidelines is challenging to track, considering the sheer volume of emails involved. There is also the added step of forwarding the email contents to prospective reviewers for reviewal. In turn, these reviews would be submitted by email. Thus manual pairing of reviews to the proposal would be necessary. As expected, an email-based correspondence platform for a conference would require considerable admin and extra hours of work/maintenance.

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

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.

☑ Enable Open Discussion for Reviewers

In our last update, we added a discussion section for reviewers to discuss about an abstract before accepting/rejecting it. We have provided this a setting under Open Review settings to enable Discussions for assigned abstracts.

Writing an academic paper can take weeks, even months of hard work. When you are finally done, you’ll need to create an abstract of your paper.

An abstract reduces longer research work to its essential elements and is designed to be presented on its own. Because your abstract usually is the selling point of your paper that summarizes and represents your work, you’ll want it to stand out.

Writing an abstract that seduces the reader into reading the rest of your paper isn’t as hard as it may seem. By following and implementing the steps outlined in this article, you are sure to turn serial skimmers into readers and even purchasers.
