Abstracts should be submitted using the online form. You will be given three options for submission of your abstract:

• Standard Abstract Submission (for data analysis that has already been completed for the study)
• Pre-registration (for a study that is planned/underway, or includes data that has been collected but not yet analyzed)
• Policy Practice & Advocacy (submissions that focus on specific policy implications or extensions of developmental science; does not need to include data)

ABSTRACT TITLE (MUST BE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS). This will be used for printing in the final program. Submit the TITLE of your abstract in ALL CAPS to comply with the publisher’s formatting instructions. For example:

MECHANISMS FOR A DEVELOPMENTAL CRITICAL PERIOD OF HIPPOCAMPAL LEARNING

How you choose to enter your information is how it will appear to the public if your abstract is selected. Do NOT include the authors, institutions or contact information in the TITLE of the abstract and ONLY the ABSTRACT TITLE should be in ALL CAPS.

The body of your abstract should NOT INCLUDE your ABSTRACT TITLE or the authors, affiliations and contact information which will be included in the Authors section. The body of the abstract must not exceed 250 words to comply with the publisher’s formatting instructions (not including authors or TITLE). You will be advised of your word count usage throughout the submission process as you save and move to the next step.

Virtual presentation of ePosters will be available but no virtual sessions and all presenters must be registered for in-person registration as there will be no virtual platform this year. The online abstract/program includes a poster gallery with optional pdf upload of the posters, as well as the option to include a video presentation and all meeting participants can choose whether to include the networking options for chat, direct chat and group chat, users can always opt out. Each poster can also include email, Twitter, LinkedIn Facebook and Instagram. We will not allow download of the poster pdf’s and although the ePoster submission is optional, we highly recommend utilizing these additional poster networking features.

• • Digital ePosters are automatically tied to the original abstract record
  • Once scheduled, the ePoster will display in our online program and in a digital poster gallery organized automatically by topic, ID, title, speaker and organization.
  • Discussion boards are embedded for Q&A and ongoing discussions
  • ePosters will be available for all registered attendees and all poster abstracts will be included in the abstract publication in Developmental Psychobiology. We encourage participants to use the networking features to invite meeting attendees to visit your ePosters, as well as Twitter (highly encouraged) #isdp2025.
