Abstract Submission - Scientific Sessions

SUBMITTING YOUR ABSTRACT FOR THE SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS

The First Philippines Small-Scale Fisheries National Symposium (PSSFNS 1) welcomes the submission of abstracts for papers for individual presentation in scientific oral and poster sessions/competitions

This is open to anyone interested in presenting work done in small-scale fisheries under regular concurrent sessions as an oral presentation or as poster presentation, or as an entry to student oral speed presentation competition or student poster presentation competition.

  • Oral presentation: Oral presentation is for 12 minutes and is one in a series of papers in a 1- to- 1.5-hour theme session. There will be a question-and-answer time after the presentations. More instruction will be provided to authors of the accepted abstract. (*Note: The scientific program committee has the authority to assign a paper intended for oral session to the poster session and vice versa if deemed more suitable in that category.)
  • Poster presentation: Accepted posters will be displayed at the symposium venue during the duration of the symposium. Poster guidelines will be sent to the author of the accepted abstract.

  • Student oral speed presentation competition: Students joining this competition must indicate “student oral speed presentation competition” as an abstract category in the abstract submission form provided below and also in the abstract to be submitted. 

    Authors of accepted abstracts for the competition shall submit a 5-minute recorded video of the presentation and the script of the oral speed presentation by 04 October 2024 (*23:59, The Philippines Time, UTC+8). More instruction will be provided to authors of the accepted abstract. Winners will be announced during the closing ceremony.

  • Student poster presentation competition: Students who will join this competition must indicate “student poster presentation competition” as an abstract category in the abstract submission form provided below and also in the abstract to be submitted. The digital poster must be submitted to the organizer by 04 October 2024 (*23:59, The Philippines Time, UTC+8). More instruction will be provided to authors of the accepted abstract.

Only student research finished during the last three school years (2020-2021, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024) qualify for the competitions. Students accepted to join the oral speed presentation and/or the poster presentation competition shall submit proof of being a student during the conduct of the research such as certificate of school registration or enrolment or certification from the adviser.
