I'm using WordPress as a CMS for the website of a big conference in my University, and one of the things I'd need would be a system for the users to send their paper abstracts so we can review them and eventually approve or reject them.

So far, I've only found one plugin, called Abstract Submission, but it's quite old. Do you know of any kind of plugin that could do the job? Other conference-related plugins are welcome as well.

I am looking for the same thing, keep an eye for answers: Create a simple form for posting articles? – user1043838 Feb 22 '12 at 4:02

You could create a custom post type for abstracts and use a technique like this to allow public submissions. That's almost certainly the path of least resistance, and allows you a way to browse these in the WordPress admin. Just be certain that your new post type isn't public!

Not exactly. I'm not looking for the people to write their abstracts directly in WordPress, but to be able to upload them in PDF or something. – JoseTomasTocino Feb 22 '12 at 13:47
