Abstract Review Criteria

Each abstract will be double-blind reviewed. The reviewers will consider the degree to which each abstract:

• situates the study within its research context and demonstrates a clear theoretical, methodological and/or practical contribution to the field;
• coherently articulates its topic and objectives;
• outlines the data being analysed and how it will be analysed; and
• is of potential interest to an ALS audience.
