Please submit the abstract in the requested format as described in the template above. If not done the correct way the system will reject the submission automatically.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE THE TEMPLATE, BUT FOR THE CONFERENCE AN ABSTRACT IS SUFFICIENT. SO NO FULL PAPER REQUIRED

For the conference we will use the submission module of the Journal of Science and Cycling. The abstracts will be reviewed in this module and after the conference the abstracts will be published in a special issue of the journal.

The system will indicate that you are submitting a full paper, this is only because we are using the system of the journal. Please ignore and submit an abstract. We prefer abstracts of maximum about 2 pages (800 words).

Please note that authors can still make adjustments to the submitted documents. Authors will be informed later when the document has to be final for publication.

Instructions for submitting your abstract:

a. Go to www.jsc-journal.com
b. Go to your profile (if you don’t have one you have to register first).
c. Make sure that in your profile under roles you click on author.
d. Start a new submission

Please note that we can only accept abstracts in English

Poster presentation or oral presentation?
In the submission system you cannot indicate if your abstract is for an oral presentation or a poster presentation. In case you want to be considered for a poster presentation please sent us an email (abstracts@science-cycling.org). If you want to be considered for an oral presentation there is no action required.
