Scoring/Selection (by local judging committee)
The goal of the judges is to recognize true excellence. Judges will use a numerical scoring system with a range of 1 to 5, with 1 being the best (half point scores are allowed: e.g., 1.5, 2.5). The overall score of an abstract will be calculated using the scoring rubric detailed below. That score will be used to determine which authors will be invited to submit posters for the virtual poster presentation and then for the in-person poster presentation.
The same numerical scoring system will be used to select the winning posters for the poster competition. However, to be included in the competition, the completed poster must be submitted for review.
Scoring Rubric:
- Innovation [1=Contains new concepts/theoretical frameworks, methods, or devices; 5=Contains no new concepts, methods, or devices]
- Relevance/Importance [1=Significantly advances knowledge in an area which has potential to improve people’s lives; 5=Study does not advance current knowledge]
- Significance and future directions [1=Importance of findings and where they lead in the future makes sense in the context of the study; 5=Importance of findings or future work absent or extremely unclear]
