#IMC: September 14 - 18 2025

How to review #IMC abstracts of my session(s)?

  1. If you are not yet logged-in, please log in to your My#IMC environment
  2. Click “Submissions” and select the session you want to review (you need to be convener or co-convener to see the session and the submissions to the session) by clicking on the “external link” symbol:
  3. On the selected session page, scroll down to get to the section “Submitted Abstracts”.
    -> this list shows all abstracts submitted to your session.
    -> each line shows one abstract (Abstract-ID, Presentation Format, Abstract Title, Options (Expand View, PDF Download, External Link to full abstract)).
  1. To get to the review section, please click on the “eye” symbol: of the abstract.
    -> the abstract expands and new sections (First Author, Co-Authors and Abstract Description) appear.
    -> additional, the abstract review area appears below the abstract description.
  2. The review area gives you now a new panel to adjust:
    FOR CO-CONVENERS
    -> checkbox to set a review recommendation (you can overwrite this recommendation as often as you want)
    -> optional: comments to share with your convener-colleagues and the organizing committee (max. 50 characters, not visible for the authors of the abstract)
    INFO: You can change your review (incl. comments) for an abstract as often as you want until the convener makes the final decision.
    FOR CONVENERS
    -> checkbox to set your final review (when activated, you confirm your final choice and will close the review process of this abstract)
    -> optional: comments to share with your convener-colleagues and the organizing committee (max. 50 characters, not visible for the authors of the abstract)
    INFO: You can leave comments without making your final review as often as you want. When activating the checkbox, you make your final review and close the review process for this abstract. In case of an erroneous review, you can of course contact us via contact form (please provide the abstract number). You can do the review no matter if your co-conveners have already submitted a review recommendation or not. 
Overview about the used icons/symbols

Once the review of the abstract is completed by the convener, this icon appears.
If at least one review has been provided by the co-conveners, this icon appears.
If at least one comment has been provided by the (co-)conveners, this icon appears.

Some conveners asked about details like length of presentations within a session etc. Please checkout details here.

IMPORTANT: The review result (of the convener) is a general suggestion to the organizing committee, which finally decides on the review. In most cases, we will follow your decisions and in case changes are needed due to organizational issues (e.g. not enough contributions for an individual poster session), we would contact you. The authors of the abstracts will not be informed immediately after you completed the review but after the end of the review phase (March 23rd).
