[Neuro-2008-committee] INCF congress abstract submission recap

[Pontus Holm]

Dear Erik and the rest of the program committee,

 

There was indeed some confusion regarding this. Multiple workshops were by
mistake assigned to the same topics. Sorry about that. This is now sorted
out. Thank you for making me aware, Erik. 

 

Attached you find an excel-file of the abstract division. This division is
now also implemented in the MCI review module (i.e. you may now have fewer
allocated abstracts than last time you logged in). The idea is that Rodney
and Sten should look at the abstracts of the topics that do not come within
the scope of a certain workshop, i.e. General Neuroinformatics, Clinical
Neuroinformatics and Sustainability.

 

Best regards,

/Pontus

Dear all,

 

I am a bit unclear on who gets to review what...
Pontus, can you clearly link the workshop topics to the topic categories
listed?  When I log in I receive 6 categories and that is way too many...
Also, who handles the general neuroinformatics (#1) and computational
neuroscience (#2) categories?There is no way that I can score 72 abstracts
(#1+#2+#6) before the end of the week, which would be the case if I was
required to also score those general categories.
Best regards,
Erik

Dear program committee,

 

Abstract submission is completed and it is time to focus on reviewing and
program planning.

 

Abstract submission result recap:

I am very happy to announce that we collected 130 abstracts! 104 for posters
and 26 for demos. We will make arrangements for hosting more than the 10
demo slots originally planned. The added extra week before deadline, and
some late reminders, gave a substantial increase of abstracts
fromNetherlands and Sweden, as well as for the “Electrophysiology” topic. It
also gave us participation from two more countries, France and Brazil.

 

Abstracts distribution per country:

Abstracts distribution per topic:

As you can see, we attract scientists from a large number of countries, but
naturally INCF member states dominate. Regarding topics, it is clear that
the people of some categories have embraced the neuroinformatics concept
more than others. This places us in a situation where the leaders of
Workshop 1 (Erik and Anders) will have a lot of abstracts to review, whereas
other workshop leaders will have considerably less. So, Erik and Anders, if
you come across abstracts that you think borders to another topic you may
consider changing its topic. Of course it goes for all of you that if you
think an abstract is in the wrong topic group, then just change its topic.

 

So now begins review phase 1 where we ask you to grade all the abstracts of
your topics 1-5, where 1 means not accepted and 5 means strong candidate for
oral presentation. At this stage you will be able to grade and comment also
the demo abstracts of your topics. Please do this by Thursday or Friday so
that we will have sufficient time for review stage 2 (accepting, rejecting,
allocating 5 minute oral presentation slots).

 

Cheers,

Pontus

PS. Due to a recently decided INCF task force workshop in conjunction to the
congress, there may be a few late abstract additions from task force
participants this week. /P
