Conducting research is among the single most valuable endeavors in the scientific community and academia. It is via research, sometimes spanning over decades, that meaningful inventions have been accomplished for humankind. Although beginner researchers may believe that their work is only meager in the large scale of academia, documenting your work can open up opportunities bigger than you may have imagined. And a key part of successfully putting your research out in the world is submitting your abstract.
Once a call for papers brings in hundreds of submissions, the best abstract management software has to do more than collect files. It must keep reviewer assignments fair, flag incomplete reviews and conflicts of interest, send decisions on time, and turn accepted work into a usable program.
