01

Recommended Abstract Structure (within 400 words)

Important Notes

Abstracts should be at least 300 words; shorter abstracts may receive lower evaluation scores.
It is strongly recommended to have your abstract proofread by a proficient English speaker. Short abstracts, English errors, or non-compliance with the structure may reduce your score.
When pasting your abstract into ConfTool, remove the title, author names, and affiliations. Do not include funding information or acknowledgments.
Avoid using bullet points (•); follow the paragraph structure above. Do not use subheadings.

Review Criteria

Submitted abstracts are reviewed anonymously by three experts from the International Scientific Committee (ISC).

01

Reviewers evaluate each abstract based on their expertise using six criteria:

1. Content
2. Significance
3. Originality
4. Relevance
5. Presentation quality
6. Recommendation

02

Each criterion is scored between 0 and 10 points, and abstracts are classified as follows:

Oral presentation: approximately 6–10 points
Poster presentation: approximately 4–6 points
Rejected: approximately 0–4 points

03

Reviewers may adjust the final recommendation via an internal comment system regardless of the numeric score.

For example

Oral presentation: approximately 6–10 points
Poster presentation: approximately 4–6 points
Rejected: approximately 0–4 points

Abstract Quality Control

Before abstracts are sent to reviewers, IMWA performs quality control checks based on experience from previous conferences. The automated process verifies the following:

01

Is the abstract fewer than 270 words?

02

Does it contain fewer than three paragraphs?

03

Does it avoid the phrase “heavy metals”?

04

Are units such as “ppm” or “ppb” avoided?

05

If no statistical validation is provided, does it avoid using “significant”?

06

When using the word “impact”, is it only applied in the context of environmental impact?

Please note that this automated process may occasionally produce false results. We appreciate your understanding. Due to the high volume of submissions, individual verification of all abstracts is not feasible.
