By considering the sorting categories before you submit your contributed abstract, you can determine which categories best fit your research. Choosing the appropriate sorting categories for your work can help to target your work to the appropriate audiences at the APS Global Physics Summit 2025.
For additional information about submitting a contributed abstract, please review the contributed abstract guidelines. If you are submitting an invited abstract, please review the invited abstract guidelines and the instructions sent to you via email from APS.
The sorting categories also represent the breadth and depth of the topics and branches of physics discussed at the APS Global Physics Summit. At this Joint March Meeting and April Meeting, the abstract submission process includes choosing from either the March Meeting or April Meeting sorting categories.
March Meeting topics
If your abstract focuses on condensed matter physics, materials physics, biological physics, chemical physics, polymer physics, soft matter physics, physics of fluids, magnetism, computational physics, quantum physics, statistical physics, superconductivity, and general physics theory, then submitting to the March Meeting sorting categories is right for you.
April Meeting topics
If your abstract focuses on subfields of physics such as astrophysics, particle and fields physics, nuclear physics, gravitation, beams and accelerator physics, hadron physics, few body physics, precision measurement, and physics education research, then submitting to the April Meeting sorting categories is right for you.
