Scoring for abstract review: The abstracts will be peer-reviewed and scored (according to the IADR Abstract rating scale 1-5) by the Abstract Reviewers and the IADR CTSN scientific program chair.

Scoring for Poster Presentation: The presentation will be judged and scored by two reviewers during the IADR General Session, using a rating scale of 1-5 (1 as the most outstanding).
