Graphical Abstract

All presenters of MBSJ2022 are required to submit a graphical abstract.

  • Format: JPEG
  • File Size: Less than 1MB

Presentation titles and presenters’ names will be automatically displayed in the online conference system, so there is no need to include them in the graphical abstract.

【Requirements for Presenters of Free Papers (Poster/Oral presentation at Workshop/Science Pitch】

  • All free papers are to be presented on-site. Online presentation will not be accepted.
  • Non-members of MBSJ/BSJ can also submit abstracts for MBSJ2022 if they register as “Non-member with abstract submission”.
  • If you are not a member but want to submit an abstract as member, please apply for a membership and complete the payment of annual membership fee in addition to the registration fee for the meeting.
  • Please create a new account of the system and complete registration prior to abstract submission.

Guidelines relating to presentation of research results


An important objective of the conference is to engage in lively debate and to exchange information by sharing the latest research results, including those that have not yet been published. In order to achieve this objective, we ask you to follow the guidelines set out below with respect to research presentations.

  1. 1. The following behavior, which could seriously damage mutual trust among participants, is prohibited.
    Capture/save (including screen capture), photographic, video or sound recording of raw data presented or displayed at the verbal presentation venue or the poster venue (including streaming) without the permission of the presenter.
    Disclosure of the above research data to a third party via SNS or similar media without the permission of the presenter.
  2. 2. When making presentations, as far as possible, there should be no concealing of molecule names, methodologies, theoretical concepts or ideas that are central to the research.
  3. 3. Presenters are to take responsibility for the handling of information relating to patent applications and the like.
  4. 4. Presenters are required to disclose any conflict of interest in this meeting.
