In an effort to encourage authors' best work and allow authors to freely publish their work in scientific journals, the Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS) has decided that they will not be collecting copyright for presented work nor publishing a technical digest going forward. Thus, work presented at MicroTAS will not be indexed.

For authors, this means that at the time of submission, we will still be asking for a 2-page abstract, but also a 100-word (500 character) short paragraph and table of contents figure. The 2-page abstract will be used for review purposes only, will remain confidential, and not be made public in the future. The 100-word short paragraph and table of contents figure will be available for attendees via the conference app.

Please visit the Submission Guidelines page for information regarding the required files.
