Evaluation rubrics are a key aspect in the integrity and effectiveness of the IDEC Abstract Review process. But they are a tool to those submitted an abstract just as they are a tool for the Reviewers. Those submitting for a Fall Symposium should consider the rubric when they are building the abstract in order to ensure alignment with the content and the evaluation criteria.
