Criteria for acceptance of presentations for the AACC International Annual Meeting per the Program Committee are based on an anonymous peer-review process with the same requirements used for AACCI scientific publications (i.e. Cereal Chemistry).
The reviewers look for the consistency between the:
- Justification
- Objective
- Materials and methods
- Results and conclusions
In case of an overview presentation, reviewers look for
- Added value
- Novelty of the information presented
In addition, the reviewers consider the following elements:
- Soundness
- Importance to advancement of cereal science
- Timeliness of the subject matter
- Clarity of the presentation
Use of company names is prohibited in titles of presentations, except for supplier sessions. Use of company name in titles will relegate the presentation to the supplier sessions. Use of registered or proprietary names or trademarks of ingredients, instruments or other items is similarly discouraged in titles except when the name is so intimately connected with a particular process as to be synonymous with the method and results. Abstracts should minimize use of proprietary nomenclature or company name as well.
