Instructions for the submission of abstracts

The contributions accepted for presentation on 4^th ICGC will be analyzed by the scientific committee and could be invited to be published in special editions of selected journals from the area.

To submit an abstract, make your registration first, in order to create a login to access the user area, on the initial page of the website www.ufscar.br/icgc4.

If you have forgotten your password, use the link "lost your password?" just below the login box to create a new one.

The abstract to be submitted to the 4^th ICGC should follow the rules:

Each author could submit a maximum of 2 (two) abstracts. The title could be copied (CTRL C / Ctrl V) directly from the abstract template or written in the specific box. If necessary, use the special characters available in the form.

To include co-authors, it is important to have the e-mails, complete names (without abbreviations), titles, institutions and departments of all of them. Please use the same e-mails to submit the abstract with which each co-author registers or will register for the event. This precaution is extremely important as the e-mail of each author will be the only information that the system will employ to connect the accepted abstracts with the corresponding authors and co-authors.

The abstract book will be elaborated with the information made available in the first and second steps, as well as the template file, hence, fill them in with care in the language of your abstract.

At the end of each completed submission of your abstract, an e-mail will be send to the author to inform that the submission was completed successfully. Thus the abstract will be listed in Completed Submission List and will receive a code.

The deadline for submission for completed works will be on 15^th May 2012.

Please, access the restricted area for submission of abstract(s)

Instructions for presentations

POSTER PRESENTATION

Posters should be prepared following the usual procedures adopted by the Brazilian Chemical Society. For those not familiar with it, we reproduce here the main features that should be displayed by a typical poster. Use these guidelines for preparing your posters for the 4^th ICGC.

The poster's dimensions should be 1.00 m x 1.00 m with some tolerance on its height, that is, posters can be a little higher than 1 m but should not be wider than 1.0 m. Poster should be mounted using a double faced tape only. The tape will be available at the secretary of the 4^th ICGC.

Some tips on how to prepare your poster

• Make a concise and descriptive title of your work
• Make a clear statement of your objectives
• Do not forget to include the e-mail of the main author
• For the description of your work use schemes, graphics and figures. Avoid too much text to describe the experiments
• The text should be visible at least 1 meter from the poster
• Use a clear background and avoid too many colors
• Add conclusions
• Do not forget to include acknowledgments
• For more information on how to prepare your poster, consult Biophysical Journal 1996, 71, 3527-3529; Biochemistry Education 1997, 25(3), 136-137; Journal of Biological Education 1999, 33 (4), 209-214

ORAL PRESENTATION

The invited oral presentations should be prepared using the Power Point program. Those who require other facilities must contact the organizing committee well before the beginning of the Meeting.

All conference rooms will be equipped with a Windows-based PC and a projector for Power Point presentations. The Power Point presentations should be made available at the slide desk at least two hours before your session starts.

All authors who are going to present lectures or oral presentations should introduce themselves to the session chairman, before their session begins.

All presentations will be deleted immediately after the session ends.

The oral sessions comprise three kinds of presentations:

• Plenary Lecture - with a maximum time of 60 min. including Questions and Answers (Q&A).
• Parallel Session
  Invited - 30 min. including Q&A.
  Oral presentations - 15 min. including Q&A.

Session Chairs

The session Chairs are responsible for:

• Introducing the speakers.
• Ensuring that presentations start and end on time, to permit the delegates to take part in other sessions.
