Abstract Submission Guidelines
•
Abstracts must be submitted in English only.
•
The text should not exceed 300 words (excluding abstract title & authors).
•
Abstracts sent by fax, post or e-mail will not be accepted.
•
Tables and graphics can be included in the abstract. These will not add to the word
count.
•
Straight encore submissions without new data will not be accepted. Encores with
additional new data will be considered.
The text of the abstract should briefly state:
•
Objectives (Indicate the purpose of the study or the hypothesis that was tested.)
•
Methods (Include the setting for the study, the subjects, the diagnosis or intervention and
the type of statistical analysis; if references are needed, they should be given in the text.)
•
Results (Present as clearly as possible the outcome of the study and statistical
significance if appropriate.)
•
Conclusion (Briefly discuss the data and emphasize the significance of the results.)
As long as the abstract has not yet been submitted, it remains in "Draft" status, which
means modifications can be made until the abstract submission deadline.
Please do not forget to submit your abstract. Abstracts remaining in “Draft” status will not
be considered.
A confirmation of receipt will be sent via e-mail upon submission of an abstract.
Presenting authors should register to the conference upon submitting their abstract.
