Notice of Abstract Acceptance

Presenting authors of submitted abstracts will receive notification of their abstract's acceptance status in early December. Communications regarding abstracts will be sent to presenting authors only. Other co-authors should ask their abstract's presenting author for information regarding their abstract.

Abstract Sessioning

Accepted abstracts are organized into topically-based scientific digital poster sessions and Theme J digital poster sessions. Abstracts are grouped together based on the theme and topic that abstract submitters select from the Themes and Topics list during abstract submission. Theme and topic selections help the Program Committee to group abstracts; they do not represent the titles of annual meeting sessions.

Scientific Rigor

Accepted abstract presenters will be expected to transparently report a study’s experimental design and analytical methods in their digital poster presentation at the annual meeting. Efforts to ensure scientific rigor include blinding, statistics, sample sizes, and replication. Error bars should be defined. Biological variables such as species, sex, age, strain, or cell line should be noted in the presentation, if applicable.

Meeting Registration

First/presenting authors are required to register for SfN Global Connectome: A Virtual Event prior to uploading their digital poster presentations. If the presenting author cannot attend, presentation by a co-author is acceptable. 

Embargo Policy

Information and data included in abstracts submitted for the SfN virtual event are embargoed until the conclusion of the SfN presentation or press conference. Abstract presentations may not be presented at another meeting or published in an archival scientific publication before the scheduled SfN presentation date unless it is at an SfN-hosted press conference for SfN Global Connectome. All authors must abide by SfN's embargo policy.

Coverage of an abstract, lay summary, data, or supplemental material is strictly prohibited until the embargo is lifted. Promotion of general topics, speakers, or presentation times is permitted and encouraged within the stated guidelines.
