GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
- Please carefully proofread your submission for accuracy; All content is
expected to be free of spelling and grammatical errors; use American English
standards for spelling. If your abstract is accepted for presentation, it is this
abstract entry that will be printed in the GeoVet Schedule and Conference
Proceedings.
-
Formatting: Do not underline or use bold for any text, nor capitalize entire
words other than abbreviations or acronyms. Only use italics for genus and
species names.
ARTICLE TYPE:
- When you use the “submit abstract” link provided you will start the submission
process within GeoVet event in Frontiers. By default, the article type will
appear as “Event abstract” within the Event “GeoVet 2019. Novel spatio-
temporal approaches in the era of Big Data” . Please DO NOT change the
type of article or the event name or the abstract will be likely misplaced.
ABSTRACT TITLE (500 characters):
- Titles should be succinct (500 characters maximum, including spaces),
informative, and accurately reflect the content of your presentation/poster.
- Formatting:
Text should be in sentence case (i.e., capitalize only the first
word, proper nouns and abbreviations). Only genus and species names
should be italicized. Do not underline or use bold for any text. Do not use
quotation marks in the title. EXAMPLE: Spatio-temporal modeling of avian
influenza using Maximum Entropy models.
PRESENTATION TYPE:
In the abstract submission please indicate how would you like to present your
work. You have three options*:
- Senior oral presentation: ground-breaking advances/applications of
spatial/spatio-temporal methods. 20 minutes + 5 for discussion
- Regular oral presentation: novel applications of spatial/spatio-
temporal methods 10 minutes + 3 for discussion
- Poster: preliminary work or applications of spatial/spatio-temporal
methods. Please indicate whether or not you want to present your
poster during the poster sessions (you will have 3 minutes + 1 for
discussion) by selecting “poster-session”. Those who choose not to
present will be just displayed in the poster area, but will not participate
in the formal poster sessions. Please select “poster-no session” if you
DO NOT want to present your poster during the poster sessions.
All authors (including students) may submit one or more abstracts for regular
oral or poster presentations, but only one for senior oral presentations.
*Students that would like to compete in the “Student presentation award”
and/or the ”Student poster award” should submit their abstracts either as
“student senior oral presentation”, “student regular oral presentation” or
“student poster” (either in the poster-session or poster-no session format).
TOPIC:
- Please select ONLY ONE of the topics of the conference. Even if more than
one may apply, please select the topic that better reflects the work to be
presented in your abstract.
KEYWORDS (minimum of 5):
-
Please provide at least 5 keywords. These keywords will maximize visibility
after publication and facilitate colleagues and other researchers to find your
work.
ABSTRACT BODY (maximum of 1500 words):
-
Your abstract should be succinct and informative, containing a maximum of
1,500 words.
- A suggested format for the abstract could be: (1) a short statement of the
study’s background and specific objectives, (2) a brief statement of methods,
(3) a summary of the results, and (4) a statement of the conclusions.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (maximum of 500 characters):
- Please include acknowledgements as needed. No more than 500 characters.
REFERENCES (maximum of 10000 characters):
-
Please include the literature cited as needed. No more than 10000 characters.

- Presenters and authors: Please complete the information for the presenting
author and any additional authors. Please identify ONE (or maximum of two)
presenting author by selecting this author as the “corresponding author”.
There is no limit to the number of additional authors. It is required that the
presenting author provide a contact email that can be used by organizers for
emergency contact during the conference; this information will not be shared.
It is also required to provide a full affiliation for the presenter.
- Names:
Please enter your full name, using your first, middle and last name in
each of the corresponding fields. Capitalize the first letter for each name.
- Affiliations: Enter author affiliations succinctly.
- If an author has more than one affiliation, separate using a semicolon.
- Capitalize the first letter for each place name; do not use all capitals or all lower case for place names.
- Do not use abbreviations or acronyms that will be unfamiliar to most readers. Abbreviations such as USDA are acceptable as these are widely recognized. Abbreviations such as UCD or ISU are not widely recognized and should be avoided.
- EXAMPLE: “Dept. of Medicine & Epidemiology, University of California, Davis, USA”.
SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS:
- Please provide any figure, table, data sheet, video or any other supplementary
material that you want to accompany your abstract submission.
- Authors would be able to provide their full presentations associated to their
abstracts before or after the meeting if they wish so.
