EAGE GeoTech 2021

1-4 March 2021 | Online Event

Late-Breaking Abstract Submission

The Late-Breaking Abstract Submission is now open and will run until 5 February 2021. We hope that this will allow recent findings and developments to be included in the GeoTech technical programme. Late-Breaking abstracts will only be approved as poster presentations.

Submission Guidelines

Anti-Plagiarism Statement

EAGE invites the presentation of new and original material in a range of multi-disciplinary topics in Geoscience and Engineering. The EAGE takes plagiarism very seriously. Therefore, if an extended abstract or paper, after careful review, examination and consideration, is rejected on the basis of plagiarism, ALL authors of the abstract/paper will be denied the opportunity for further abstract submissions for the following three years. Note that this means that NO abstracts/papers from ANY of the authors (as author or co-author on subsequent papers) will be accepted for ANY EAGE event (Annual Meeting or Workshop) for a period of three years starting on the date of the event for which the paper was originally submitted.

Publication

The accepted extended abstract is published on EarthDoc, which is an official EAGE publications, as submitted. Badly written extended abstracts not only reflect poorly on the authors, but also on the association. Many more people read the accepted extended abstracts than those attending the presentation. Therefore, EAGE will only consider properly written and informative extended abstracts that are submitted in line with the template instructions. Authors are encouraged to submit their material for publication in one of the journals of the association. Acceptance for the conference does not guarantee acceptance for publication in one of the journals. 

Cancellation Information 

In case authors want to withdraw their abstracts please adhere to the following deadlines:
Withdrawal of abstracts before 1 February 2021: your abstract will be removed from EarthDoc.
Cancellations of presentations after 1 February 2021 may be considered as a no-show and you risk being disqualified from presenting at all EAGE events for the next 3 years. 

Please note: EAGE cannot be held liable for any loss, damage, direct, indirect or consequential damage as a result of withdrawal, removal or non-removal of the abstract in any way. 

Selection Process

The Selection Committee will consider all extended abstracts submitted to the EAGE Head Office by 5 February 2021, 23:59 hrs (GMT +1) and authors will be notified by the mid February 2021. The technical programme selection meeting has then taken place and the technical programme with definite session titles and presentation allocation is composed. Each extended abstract will be reviewed by at least 2 referees prior to the technical programme selection meeting. The selection process is no formality, on average 1 out of every 4 submitted extended abstracts is rejected! 

The extended abstracts must be relevant to the topics of one of the conference workshops.  

Presentations 

EAGE cannot make any contributions toward coverage of expenses relating to the presentation.

Conference Template

Titles should be short (max. 16 words, longer titles will be cut off) and relevant. Extended abstracts must be in English, original and not have appeared in any other publication.

A summary of the extended abstract (max. 200 words) must be submitted as well. 

The body of the extended abstract needs to be two to four (2-4) full pages in length, paper size A4. Longer or shorter sized abstracts will not be included in the review process and therefore be rejected. The extended abstract should consist of text and appropriate figures supporting the key message. The text should contain at least one figure and include references. Extended abstracts of text alone are unacceptable.

Please do not use more than 1 column for text, do not frame the text, and please upload the body of your extended abstract as one document with embedded figures. 

A good extended abstract set in the Conference 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 extended 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.

Please also complete the following classification table by highlighting the appropriate cells to describe the inversion process and algorithm being presented. This will help (a) the technical committee to group submitted abstracts into sessions and (b) the audience understand the context of your submission. The completed table should form part of both your extended abstract and your presentation.

Conference template

Template usage:

• Do not make a cover page for your extended 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 extended abstract. 
• Start the body text of your extended 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.
