Frequently asked questions about the Abstract Submission Form template
Everything you need to know about this template.
- What word count should conference abstracts target?
Conference abstracts commonly run 250 to 300 words; journal abstracts 150 to 250. State your limit clearly in the field description so authors self-edit before submitting.Most conferences specify 250 to 500 words; state your limit explicitly inside the form description.
- How do review committees score abstracts fairly?
Collect identical structured fields from every submitter, export all abstracts to CSV, and run blind scoring rounds against criteria published to authors in advance.Blind review with shared rubrics applied to uniformly structured abstracts keeps committee scoring defensible throughout.
- Can authors revise an abstract after submitting?
Yes when editable submissions are enabled: presenters refine their existing entry until the deadline instead of creating duplicates, keeping your review set clean.Editable submissions let authors refine content until review opens, cutting withdrawal-and-resubmit email cycles entirely.
- How do I create an abstract submission form?
Start from this ready-made template and customize it in the drag and drop builder, generate one from a short text description with the AI form builder, or assemble fields yourself on a blank canvas. All three routes produce the same editable structure, so you can add logic, calculations, and branding whenever you need them.
- Is the abstract submission form free to use?
Yes. SharaForms does not charge per form or per response, so this template runs on the free plan with unlimited forms and unlimited submissions. Core features such as conditional logic, calculations, signatures, and all three presentation modes are included at no cost. Paid plans only add optional extras like branding removal and premium integrations.
- Can I embed the abstract submission form on my website?
Yes. Publish the form and either share its direct link or embed it with a small code snippet. The embedded version adapts to your page width, keeps your theme, and submits without sending visitors anywhere else, so it behaves like a native part of your site.
