Abstract Review Instructions and Scoring Information

In reviewing an abstract, the following criteria should be addressed:

  1. Is the work appropriate for the 25th North American ISSX Meeting?
    The abstract should be complete and the information contained should represent the high quality expected of abstracts accepted for ISSX meeting. The reviewer is asked to ensure that the material presented is accurate and that the statements and analyses made are correct and logically consistent.

  2. Is the work important to the ISSX community?
    The abstract should present information which is useful to other xenobiotic researchers, whether they be faculty, industry colleagues, or students.

  3. Is the work original?
    Abstracts accepted for the meeting must be previously unpublished. (The abstract submitter must answer yes or no to the question regarding whether the work has been presented or published elsewhere so this is an easy criterion to judge.)
