Submit an abstract and receive acceptance
6–12 weeks (submission deadline to notification, programme-dependent)
Presenting at an academic conference begins with a peer-reviewed abstract submission. Choose a conference appropriate to your field and career stage (a doctoral or postgraduate-level subject conference, not a keynote-only event or industry gathering). Write an abstract (200–300 words, or per the conference guidelines) that states your research question, methodology, key findings, and contribution to the field. Submit to a conference with documented peer review of abstracts. Receive and retain your acceptance notification.
Proof required
Submit your abstract as submitted, the conference programme listing your name and paper title, and your acceptance notification email showing the conference name and date.
What gets checked
- Conference uses documented peer review for abstract selection — a conference that accepts all submissions is not peer-reviewed.
- Acceptance notification is from the conference organisers, not a generic registration confirmation.
- Abstract states a clear research contribution — 'I will discuss X' is not a contribution; 'This paper argues that X contradicts the dominant view because Y' is.
Prepare and rehearse the presentation
