Conference Procedure

• Ask your supervisor before submitting an abstract to present at a confernce.
  • Make sure any identified co-authors have given their approval.
  • Share the abstract for co-author approval if submitting to a conference.
• Share posters or presentations with all co-authors at least two weeks before the conference to make sure to give them enough time to provide comments.

• All authors need a chance to comment on the work before manuscript submission.
• Determine authorship early in the research project to avoid conflict or misunderstandings.
• In general, the first author does most of the writing, but consult with your supervisor on a case-by-case basis.
• Co-first authorship should be determined by who led the drafting and submission process, not necessarily the original intellectual contribution.
