Extended Abstracts

The extended abstracts accepted for CHEMPOR 2008 will be published in the Book of Abstracts and the full papers will be published in the Conference CD. Both will be distributed at registration to all participants. The authors are kindly requested to follow the guidelines for abstracts and papers submission. These guidelines can be viewed bellow or can be downloaded in PDF format.

Extended abstracts of two A4 pages must be online submitted not later than March 31st using the CHEMPOR Conference Management Service based on the following workflow:

  • Access the CHEMPOR Conference Management Toolkit at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/CHEMPOR2008/

  • Register or login using your e-mail address

  • Follow the submission steps:

    • Insert title

    • Insert authors' information

    • Select subject areas (topics of interest)

    • Upload extended abstract (.PDF or .DOC format).

  • Also, you need to specify in your preference for "poster" or "oral" presentation format. There is a limited number of oral presentations available. If an author chooses "oral", but the paper is not accepted as an oral presentation, that paper can be presented as a poster. The Scientific Program Committee makes all final decisions regarding presentation format.

Faxed abstracts and abstracts not submitted in the proper format will be rejected. Abstracts must be submitted in English. Authors should indicate the topic that best suits their paper. This topic will be used to categorize the abstract in the most appropriate session.  

Papers submission

The deadline for submission of the full text papers (max 6 A4 pages) for publication in the Conference CD is July 15th. The papers must be submitted via the Conference Management Toolkit using the "Camera Ready" edit link.

Faxed papers and papers not submitted in the proper format will be rejected.

Selected papers will be published after peer-reviewed in one of the following journals depending on the subject:
