OC/SPC/SAB: Submission of Proposals for Invited Oral Presentations

In this first step of the workflow for the Submission of Proposals for Invited Oral Presentations the three committees create abstracts to be proposed to the SPC.

Login to the ECRIS Indico event

The usual URL for ECRIS events is https://indico.jacow.org/e/ECRISXX (e.g., ECRIS'23, ECRIS'24 etc.)

To login to this special JACoW Indico installation, please be sure to use your JACoW account from the JACoW Central Repository, which usually is not your email address.

From the Central Repository it is also possible to reset your password by clicking the "Forgotten Password" button. However, you must enter your username name to retrieve your password - if you have lost your username as well, please contact the specific ECRIS Scientific Secretariat for help.

If you cannot login to the ECRIS Indico event, please try logging in the JACoW Central Repository first. If this works succesfully, try logging in this Indico with the same username/password. In case this won't work, contact the Scientific Secretariat/Event Administrator (contacts are usually provided in the ECRIS event pages).

Create a new proposed abstract

From the event screen click Submit new abstract :

The abstract submission form will appear. Before continuing, please click on the submission instructions link and review any specific note for the given event. Every ECRIS can have slightly different ways of organising abstracts, so please be aware of the specific directions available from that link.

All fields marked with a red star are mandatory. Below the image all needed fields are explained.

  • Title: here goes the proposed title for the Invited Oral Presentation

  • Content: the description, or abstract text, is needed here. Please describe what the proposed presenter is expected to develop with this contribution. A couple of notes:

    • with Indico you can enrich the abstract content by using Markdown of LaTeX. However, we ask you to refrain from using this feature. For ECRIS abstracts please only use plain text

    • also refrain from copying and pasting from word processors like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice. Special characters like non-standard ticks (``, ยดยด, etc.) or the three-dots character (...) could get bad results when creating the final abstracts booklet. Be sure that these kind of special characters are avoided

  • Authors: enter the proposed speakers for this contribution by clicking on the Search button:

    • search for the person from the JACoW Central Repository by providing Family name and/or Given (First) name and/or Email address and/or Affiliation. Be sure that the "Include users with no Indico account" is selected

    • any found person will appear to the right. Click on the plus sign

    • the plus will change to a green tick

    • now press the Confirm button. The user will be added to the list of authors:

    • then make the author a speaker by clicking on the "Speaker" button (the microphone icon)

    • In case that it is not possible to find the wanted person by searching, create a JACoW profile for this person first

    • do not enter yourself in the list of authors
