To promptly disseminate the information and ideas, participants submitted descriptive information and abstracts of between 300 and 1500 words. Each oral and poster presentation abstract was peer-reviewed in a double-blind process in which three scholars used specific scoring criteria to judge the abstracts in accordance with the requirements of STTI's Guidelines for Electronic Abstract Submission.
