What is the submission deadline?

The abstract submissions deadline is July 15, 2020, 11:59 pm (latest time zone on Earth). Extended to July 22, 2020.

When will I be notified if my submission has been accepted?

Notifications of acceptance will be emailed by August 24, 2020. A notice will appear on the website homepage when the notices have been sent.

Can I specify a slide or poster when I make my abstract submission?

Yes. The submission form lets you specify whether you would prefer a slide or poster presentation.

How will I know if my poster submission is received?

If you have completed all of the submission steps, then your submission is in our database. You will NOT automatically receive an email confirming receipt of your submission. The “Verify Submission” page of the submission process shows your completed submission as it will appear online and in the printed meeting program. This page also provides a button that allows you to email yourself a copy of your submission.

For abstract submissions, there is space for twenty-four authors. What do I do if I have more authors on my abstract?

If you have more than twenty-four authors, use the “Notes” text box. Be sure to enter each author’s name and affiliation (e.g., Bob F. Jones, Stanford University).

I have a middle name or initial I would like to use, but there is no field for it. How do I indicate this?

Your middle name or initial should be placed in the First Name box.

Can I include a figure in my abstract?

No. Currently, the submission system does not support figures inside of abstracts.

Do I need to be a member to submit an abstract?

Yes. To submit an abstract you must be a current SNL member.

Can I become a member when I submit an abstract or register?

Yes. The first step is to Create an SNL Account. Once you have an account, you may become a member, register for the conference, and submit an abstract.

May I submit more than one abstract?

Yes. Members may submit more than one abstract.

Does the 500 word limit include my title and author information?

No. The 500 word limit per abstract does not include the title of your poster, your authors’ names or affiliation information.

If I am unable to attend the meeting, how do I withdraw my abstract submission?

If the first author is unable to present, the abstract must be withdrawn. Prior to the submission deadline you can do this by logging in to your account and clicking the “Withdraw My Abstract” button. After the submission deadline, the first author must notify SNL in writing stating the reason for the withdrawal. Send all withdrawal notifications to info@neurolang.org.

Abstracts withdrawn or not presented at the meeting will not be published in the proceedings. If you fail to notify SNL of your withdrawal or you do not show up for your scheduled presentation, future submissions may be in jeopardy.

Abstract submission fees are not refundable.

If I am unable to attend the meeting, can someone else present in my place?

Under certain circumstances, such as a family or medical emergency and some non-emergency situations such as funding issues, you may make special arrangements to have another author present in your place. The first author must notify SNL in writing, stating the reason for the substitution. In the case of a substitution, the substitute presenter must be registered to attend the meeting. Send all substitution requests to info@neurolang.org.
