It is our intention to publish all the accepted communications both in digital on-line format and in a book of conference abstracts.

In a later stage after the meeting, authors may submit full papers based on their conference communications for publication in special issues. For more details, please refer to the "Special Notes".

General guidelines

 Original abstracts in English must be submitted on-line within the established deadline (30 June). After the reviewing process is completed (05 July), the corresponding author will be notified of the result, by e-mail.

 Only abstracts submitted to the conference email (aab-m2024@gznu.edu.cn) will be considered.

 Submission of an abstract constitutes (once accepted) agreement with and acceptance of the commitment to register for and attend the conference by at least one of the authors to present the communication. Accepted abstracts submitted by authors who do not formalize their registration (paying the registration fee) before 04 August, will not be included in the Abstracts Book.

 Each registered delegate will be allowed to submit up to two communications, but, of course, it is possible to contribute to others.

 Please, check carefully abstracts for correct grammar and spelling.

 The Committees will review and select communications by areas and decide whether they will be presented orally or as posters.
