If the programme will not use a category, do not collect it. Authors will invent meanings for leftover dropdowns.",{"heading":16,"body":17},"Decide who counts as an author","Corresponding author, presenting author, and the full author list are not the same role. Spell out affiliation format, whether a student can submit, and how many presentations one person may give.

Incomplete files should be visible to the author as incomplete, not discovered by a reviewer who cannot open a font.",{"heading":22,"body":23},"Collect the statements the committee will need","Conflicts, ethics, trial registration, or funder acknowledgements — only ask for what this meeting will actually use.
