Submit Abstracts to NCBDS 2020
The submission and review of abstracts for NCBDS 2020 will be managed through an online conference paper management system called EasyChair. The following tutorial is intended to support authors as they set up EasyChair accounts and submit their abstracts.
The NCBDS 2020 Steering Committee invites abstract authors to participate in the review process. Please indicate if you would like to be considered as a reviewer when submitting your abstract. The committee will also solicit reviewers who are not authors.
In the event that you need help during abstract submission, please contact the NCBDS 2020 Steering Committee at ncbds2020@tamu.edu.
