Official Language
English is the official language of the Symposium. Therefore, all written communications (abstracts, drafts, final papers, etc.) must be in English. Presentations must also be delivered in English.
Abstract instructions
Abstracts must be submitted through ABCM’s web-based conference management system (https://www.sistema.abcm.org.br). The submitting author and all co-authors must be registered in the management system. The Abstract is a text-only entry and must not exceed 400 words. All Abstracts will be evaluated for their proposed contribution and adequacy to the topics of interest listed below.
Draft Paper instructions
Once your Abstract is approved, you will be invited to submit a Draft Paper. Draft Papers can be 5 to 10 pages long, and must include research results. Draft Papers must be formatted according to Mecsol 2024 Guidelines, using either our MS Word or Latex templates, and be submitted as a PDF file of up to 2 MB. All Draft Papers will be evaluated by a panel of reviewers as to their scientific contribution and compliance with the formatting guidelines.
Final Paper instructions
Once your Draft Paper is approved, you will be invited to submit a Final Paper, which is an updated, corrected version of the Draft Paper. Final Papers must comply with the requests made by the reviewer’s on the Draft Paper. Final Papers must be submitted even if the Draft Paper is accepted as is. Only Final Papers – not Draft Papers – will be published in the conference proceedings.
