One-page papers accepted for the 2024 Embracing disruption as an opportunity for animal science. A joint AAAP and AAAS congress will be published in the digital conference proceedings book.

 

Papers will undergo a peer review process and the Editor’s decision is final. Papers must not be previously published work. Authors must adhere to the strict style and formatting guidelines to ensure that their paper can be sent for peer review. Papers failing to meet these guidelines will be returned to the author.

​

All papers must be submitted online using the online portal. 

 

Submissions close 11.59pm AEDST on Sunday 11th February 2024.

 

Submission Types

Papers can be submitted for one or all of the following submission types:

• Oral (10-20 minute presentation)

• Elevator Pitch and poster (3-5 minute presentation plus digital poster)

• Digital Poster only.

 

Please note that only selecting an oral does not guarantee you an oral as unfortunately not everyone will be accepted for an oral.  All elevator pitch presenters will also need to prepare a digital poster.  Exact timings for each will be finalised with the release of the program.

​

Categories

In the submission process, you will be asked to select from topics or species, please note that sessions will be broken up into themes more than species.  Topics of discussion will include animal genetics, breeding, nutrition, health, behaviour, and welfare.  If your short paper applies to multiple species, please select other.
