Abstract Template Instructions
Presentations
- Please note that the presentation type for this conference are oral and poster. EAGE cannot make any contributions toward coverage of expenses relating to the presentation.
Layout of Abstract
- Titles should be short (max. 100 characters) and relevant. A summary of the abstract (max. 200 words) must be submitted as well. Abstracts must be in English, original and not have appeared in any other publication.
- The body of the abstract needs to be 2-4 full pages in length, paper size A4. Abstracts that are shorter than 2 full pages will be rejected. The abstract should consist of text and appropriate figures supporting the key message. The text should contain at least one figure and include references.
- Please do not use more than 1 column for text, do not frame the text, and please upload the body of your abstract as one document with embedded figures.
- A good abstract set in the template consists of an introduction, the main description of theory or method broken down as appropriate and illustrated with figures, conclusions, optional acknowledgements and references. It should reflect work that is actually completed at the time of submission and not plans or ideas that are still taking shape in the mind of the author or research that is still highly immature.
- The abstract must concentrate in itself the essential information of the presentation: purpose, methods, results and conclusions. It should be an abbreviated, informative, accurate representation of the presentation and not a mere recital of the subjects to be covered.
Template Usage
- Do not make a cover page for your abstract. EAGE will make this for you with the title, authors and summary. Therefore, do not include this information in the body text of your abstract.
- Start the body text of your abstract directly under the EAGE logo.
- Use font ‘Times New Roman 11pts’ with single line spacing. Set the alignment as justified and use the standard. Word outline level (body text).
- Use 2,54 cm (1”) for top, bottom, left and right margin.
The lay-out of the references should be consistent with the style guide for references in the First Break guidance for authors. Please ensure every citation has a reference and vice versa.
Number the figures sequentially, according to their appearance in the text, and check that each figure is cited in the text.
Supply a short caption for each figure; more detailed discussion of the figure can be reserved for the text. Further information about the use of figure captions and figure numbering can be found in the First Break guidance for authors.
