1. What is the difference between a poster and an
invited symposium presentation?
Invited symposia presentations area coordinated by an expert (chair) that
designs the programme of this symposium and reviews the contents of every
presentation in her/his/their symposium. These presentations can be revision
papers or research studies.
Posters are free papers presented to the INABIS
Congress, that may be unrelated to the topics covered in Invited Symposium.
These papers are reviewed by the INABIS 2000 scientific committee, that must
decide if they will be accepted for presentation. Topics accepted
are described in the programme
page. Proposed additional topics will be evaluated by
scientific committee.

7. Can I submit graphics with
my presentation? What about animated gifs?
You can submit graphics and animated gifs as a part of your poster. After your abstract
has been approved, and poster submission begins, you will be able to send
accessory files using your personal web page. When
preparing your graphics, please take into account that not all of our viewers will be
using extremely fast connections. Please try to keep the graphics as small as possible.
Also, all graphics must be saved as either .GIF files or *.JPEG/.JPG files.
Animated gifs are also no problem, within reason. Please
keep the pictures less than 20k in size if possible. Animated GIFs tend to chew up
bandwidth. If you include videos, please send them in a compressed format
and preferably using streaming video format, such as Real Networks (.ram) or
Microsoft Media files (.asx)

8. How should my poster be
organized? Should I follow the guidelines for scientific presentations or papers?
Our recommendation is to set your poster up as you would a normal submission to a scientific journal or
conference, using your familiar word processor.
You will need to include contact information, names of the authors, abstract, materials,
methods, results, discussion and conclusion, as well as references.
To submit your presentation, you have to copy the text (one section of the poster each time) to the automatic design web page. Select the section you want to copy (Ctrl-C) and then paste it (Ctrl-V) into the corresponding field in the form.
If your prefer to make your own design, you can
design the poster web pages by your self. Please review
a example of a presentation to include necessary links.

Copyright, publications, journals:
1.Who owns the copyright on the
abstract and presentation?
Authors retain the Copyright on abstract and presentation, and no one is permitted to copy
or download this material without the authors permission.
To read more about copyright, see copyright
FAQ page or visit "10 Big Myths about

and follow links therefrom.

2. Is a presentation at
INABIS Congress a publication or a presentation at a meeting?
Congress a publication or a presentation at a meeting?
A Virtual Meeting such as ours is a relatively new endeavor, so the precise answer (if
there ever will be "the" answer) is not available. The following is an opinion
given to us by an official from the US Copyright Office.
If a presentation stays on the Internet for a limited period of time and downloading is not permitted, then one can argue that this is a presentation at a conference. If the presentation remains on the Internet for an unlimited period and is freely available, then it is difficult to argue that it is not a publication.
When submitting an abstract, authors can declare that their
presentation should be removed from the Congress web site after the meeting and from the
CD-ROM proceedings. Abstracts will be included in the CD-ROM proceedings and will remain
on the Congress site; they can be cited.

3. Can the same material be
submitted for publication to a peer-reviewed journal?
Some journals may view your presentation as a publication rather than as a presentation at
a meeting. Journals may not have a set policy and deal on a case by case basis. Use your
judgment. You can check with the journal you intend to publish in.
For a discussion on a radical transformation in the
publishing of scientific articles, see "LEARNED INQUIRY AND THE NET: THE ROLE OF PEER
REVIEW, PEER COMMENTARY AND COPYRIGHT" by Stevan Harnad at http://citd.scar.utoronto.ca/EPub/talks/Harnad_snider.html;

4. How does one cite the abstract or
presentation at INABIS Congress? Congress?
Recommendations for styles of citing information found on the Internet can be found in Citation
Style Guides for Internet and Electronic Sources ( http://www.library.ualberta.ca/library_html/help/pathfinders/style/style.html
) and in Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (NEJM 336:
309-315,1997 ).
As an example, a reference to a presentation in the
symposium chaired by Simantov, would be:
Dus L, Ratovitski T, Tauber M, Tafet GE, Pantaleoni GCE and Simantov R (2000): Transcriptional and posttranslational regulation of 5-HT transporters expressed constitutively or in transfected cells. On-line Proceedings of the 6th Internet World Congress on Biomedical Sciences 2000 at Castilla La Mancha University, Spain (available from URL: http://www.uclm.es/inabis2000/simantov/dus0133/index.html).
