The abstract management process is vital to the success of an association's annual meeting and conference program. Until now, paper-based processes required massive amounts of labor, time-consuming status inquiries and peak-period activity during deadlines.  WAMS solves these problems by offering a complete online solution, including:

  • Collection of Abstracts;
  • Online review of abstracts;
  • Abstract rating;
  • Editing;
  • Author notifications and more.

System Features:

Association staff access the abstract management system over the Internet with no software downloads or installation required.

Authors can:

  • submit abstracts from anywhere using a standard web browser
  • log-on securely, only allowing authors to view and edit their own submissions, add speaker bios, etc.
  • submit an abstract prepared by multiple authors
  • preview the submission, in Web-based HTML format, prior to actual submittal
  • receive automatic email confirmation of submission
  • upload their draft/final paper in PDF format
  • register for the event

Reviewers can:

  • easily see which papers they've reviewed and those pending review
  • print copies of submitted papers from a standard web browser
  • rate papers online, based on standard preset ratings
  • add comments online to abstracts, for Program Directors to view

Program Chairs can:

  • add users and select user security level
  • create new sessions
  • accept and reject abstracts online, with the option to add additional comments
  • view all ratings of individual reviewers
  • assign abstracts to sessions
  • send acceptance/rejection, reminder emails
  • administer the receipt of copyright, media requirements, and other forms pertaining to your event
  • view online reports
  • export the abstracts for use in common desktop applications
  • export the information for final program printing

Free your staff from hundreds of hours of manual data-entry, paper shuffling and individual status replies.  Improve quality & consistency.   Eliminate lost papers, inconsistent rankings, neglected edits and other serious nuisances that create chaos in otherwise successful proceedings.
