Abstract Review and Acceptance Process

After submission, each abstract undergoes an evaluation process conducted by the ICRM 2027 Scientific Committee. The goal is to ensure that all works presented at the conference have scientific quality and relevance to the field of radionuclide metrology.

1. Forwarding to the Subject-Area Reviewer
Enter the title of your work in English. Use upper- and lower-case letters according to standard scientific title formatting

2.Evaluation Criteria
The reviewer evaluates the abstract based on predefined criteria, which include:

Originality and innovation: Does the work present new contributions to the field?
Scientific merit: Are the methodology and results solid and relevant?
Clarity and objectivity: Is the abstract well structured and does it convey the message effectively?
Interest to the audience: Is the topic relevant to the conference participants?

3.Decision and Classification

Based on this evaluation, the reviewer makes a recommendation, and the Scientific Committee decides:

Accepted for oral presentation
Accepted for poster presentation
Rejected

4. Notification to Authors
After all evaluations are completed, the Scientific Secretariat sends an email notification to the corresponding author, informing them of the decision and providing guidelines for the presentation.

5.Confidentiality

The entire review process is confidential. Reviewers do not have access to the authors’ identities, and authors do not know who reviewed their abstract, ensuring an impartial evaluation based exclusively on scientific merit.
