RDM Day 2025 abstract guidelines

Abstract guidelines and template

• Keep your submission to one A4 page (including figures and graphics).
• Limit the main text to approximately 250 words in Calibri 11 (text linked to images in Calibri 9).
• Provide departmental affiliations in the following format: Division/Institute, Department, University, Country.
• Use the following sub-headings to layout your abstract:

1. Title
2. Authors
3. Departmental affiliations
4. Abstract

• Underline the presenting author and identify if they are a DPhil student or postdoc/fellow.
• Include the research rationale (written for a non-specialist audience), methodology, results and conclusions. Note that abstracts/posters should not contain commercially sensitive data (e.g., data to be used in a patent application) – all selected poster abstracts will be published in the event programme and the Andrew Wiles Building is accessible to the public.
• Number citations sequentially in the text and keep to a minimum.
• Include a figure, if appropriate.
• Consider including a graphical abstract, which is a single‐panel image designed to give non-specialised readers an immediate understanding of the poster’s take‐home message.

Submitting your abstract

• To submit your abstract, you must first fill out the RDM Day registration form to attend.
• You must then complete the Poster abstract submission form, uploading your abstract as a Word file when prompted.
• The deadline for submissions is 12 noon on Monday 3 February.
