Abstract format and submission procedure

To submit your abstract:

Log in or create an account on “SciencesConf” to access the online submission form.

Use the following template (MS-Word format) to prepare your abstract(s): Template_MBJ2026.docx

A few points to note:

Between 5,000 and 5,500 characters, including spaces (from introduction to conclusion)
Maximum of 1 figure and 1 table (not interchangeable; 1 figure cannot replace a table and vice versa)
Maximum of 5 references
Each author must sign a copy of the copyright transfer agreement
After entering the title, theme, keywords, and authors, submit the abstract directly in Word format (.docx) using the online form, following the detailed instructions in the “Submission” > “Abstract submission” tab.

To help you choose a theme, you can consult the description of the SB themes and special sessions available at this link: themes

 If you wish to give a joint talk with a clinician, select “Biomechanist/Clinician Duo” in addition to the topic(s) corresponding to your research work.

PLEASE NOTE: to facilitate editorial management with a view to the potential publication of the abstract, after submitting your abstract in the “Abstract” section, it is ESSENTIAL to make the following submissions in “Additional Data” (see image below):

- resubmit the abstract in .docx format with the type “Other”
- submit as many rights transfer agreements as there are authors with the type “Other”
- submit the figure in 300dpi with the type “Image” if applicable.

After review of the submitted papers, authors will be notified of the results by May 27, 2026 at the latest, and invited, if necessary, to resubmit a revised abstract by June 12, 2026. Final acceptance or rejection will be notified by June 30, 2026 at the latest.

During the submission process, you will be asked to indicate your preference for the type of presentation (oral or poster), although unfortunately it will not always be possible to accommodate your request.

By default, your abstract will be reviewed for publication in the new Diamant Open Access Multidisciplinary Biomechanics Journal (MBJ) on the Episciences platform. Each published abstract will have its own DOI. If you do not wish to have your abstract published in MBJ, you can indicate this in the corresponding box at the end of your abstract and notify sb2026-co-cs@sciencesconf.org.
