Abstract FAQ

Selection and Presentation

Each abstract is blinded and peer-reviewed by three members of the Abstract Review Committee.

Accepted abstracts will be selected as either a short oral presentation, poster presentation, or rejected. Oral presentations are placed into the FOCIS 2022 program on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday afternoon. Oral presentations are allotted a maximum of 15 minutes, with 10 minutes for presentation and an additional 5 minutes allotted for questions and discussion.

Notification

If the abstract is accepted by the reviewers, the presenting author will receive an abstract acceptance notification. Notifications of acceptance or rejection will be sent the week of March 14, 2022 to the presenting author. Late-breaking notifications of acceptance will be sent the week of May 23, 2022 to the presenting author.

Registration Policy

Presenting authors of accepted abstracts must register for the FOCIS Annual Meeting by April 8, 2022.

Upon payment of the FOCIS Annual Meeting registration fee, the abstract will be confirmed and scheduled into the program.

Abstracts accepted for presentation but not registered by the deadline will be withdrawn and will not be included in the scientific program or abstract supplement.

Abstract Publishing

Accepted abstracts are published in our Abstract Supplement, which is a PDF file available on the FOCIS website. This is published in early June and is available to the public.
