Types of contributed presentations
Abstracts may be submitted either for oral presentations or poster presentations:
- An oral presentation is delivered within a ten-minute timeframe during a March Meeting 2024 session and also includes two minutes for the presenter to address questions from the larger audience
- During a poster presentation, the presenter will stand with a poster displaying their research in a designated space and engage attendees one-on-one
Eligibility
To submit an abstract, you must be an APS member or a member of a reciprocal society. You may present one technical, oral, or contributed presentation at March Meeting 2024. APS members may submit a contributed oral or poster abstract that lists a non-member as the presenter.
You must be logged into your APS web account to submit an abstract. If you do not have an account, you may create one.
The presenter must attend the meeting and give the presentation. The APS Program Committee, at its discretion, will accommodate author preferences regarding presentation type and schedule whenever possible.
Submitting multiple contributed abstracts
Each presenting author is limited to submitting one technical oral abstract and one technical poster abstract in either the in-person or virtual meeting format for inclusion in the scientific program. However, they may also present an additional abstract of a non-technical nature, such as one related to education and policy, in a session of broad interest to the physics community if it is sponsored by an APS Forum or Committee.
APS will reject abstracts with presenters that do not adhere to the multiple abstract rule.
Editing abstracts
Please proofread your abstract carefully before submitting it. You will be able to edit your abstract in the submission system up until the submission deadline.
Character limits
Contributed oral and poster abstracts are limited to approximately 1,300 characters.
Formatting
Please do not attempt to override the system defaults by introducing your own formatting in your abstract. APS will only correct misspellings in the authors' names or affiliations. APS will not add additional authors or re-order the author list after the abstract submission deadline has passed.
Withdrawing a contributed abstract
You may withdraw your contributed abstract online before the abstract submission deadline. After the deadline, please contact APS Abstract Help.
Accepted abstracts
If your abstract is accepted, you will receive an email in December 2023 from APS notifying you that your abstract has been placed in the program. You are then responsible for confirming the session date, time, and requesting any necessary changes. You may do so by contacting APS Abstract Help.
All presenters are required to register to attend March Meeting.
