Frequently Asked Questions about Paper Submissions

 

Submissions for the 14th INTERAB are just around the corner!

To help you submit your proposal with more confidence, we’ve put together key information you need to know.

You can also find this content on our Instagram post – feel free to leave a question in the comments if anything remains unclear.

We’re currently working on a comprehensive FAQ for INTERAB, so stay tuned to our official communication channels.

So, how does the submission process work at INTERAB?

Let’s start with the three most important points you need to pay attention to:

1. 1. ABRALIN membership fee;
   2. Registration system;
   3. Required information for submission.

These are essential to complete your registration successfully. Let’s go over each one in more detail.

1. ABRALIN Membership Fee

Do I need to pay the 2025 ABRALIN membership fee?

Yes, and as early as possible.

Paying the 2025 ABRALIN membership is mandatory in order to submit your paper.

The registration system will only allow submissions if it confirms your membership status. If your payment is still pending, the system will redirect you to the ABRALIN website so you can regularize your status.

Please note: Payment confirmation can take up to 7 business days, depending on your payment method or bank. So we strongly recommend not waiting until the final week to pay your membership fee.

If you experience any issues with your payment, please contact: abralin@abralin.org

2. How does the registration system work?

To get started, go to the official event website and click on “Register” to create your account.

First, you’ll fill in your personal information. Then, the system will verify your 2025 ABRALIN membership. If everything is correct, you’ll be able to move forward with your submission.

Be careful when entering your personal information. If there’s any inconsistency, the system may not recognise your ABRALIN membership.

Once your membership payment is confirmed, you’ll fill out a submission form directly in the system with your proposal details.

3. What do I need to submit my paper?

First, make sure your proposal matches the type of submission you’re aiming for. If you’re unsure, check the First Bulletin available on the INTERAB website.

Then, complete the form with the title of your paper, the abstract (300–700 words, and the author and co-author information (name and institution).

Attention, please: Only one author needs to submit the proposal on behalf of the group. And please do NOT pay the registration fee before receiving the acceptance letter. Wait for the Organising Committee to contact you. We’ll let you know when (and if) payment is required.

Now you’re ready to submit your paper!

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us via Instagram or email: interab@abralin.org.

And please, make sure to keep an eye on the submission and registration deadlines.

• Paper submissions will be accepted until September 15;
• acceptance letters will be sent starting September 30 – so don’t forget to check your email regularly;
• You’ll be able to complete your registration at a discounted rate until October 15. After that date, fees will increase with the next registration phase.
