- Early registration deadline: August 31st, 2025 (included, midnight, CEST)
CREATE AN ACCOUNT TO SUBMIT
In order to submit or register to the congress, you must create a myCO account on our registration tool, myCongressOnline.
If you do not already have an account, you can create one in a few easy steps.
THE WHO'S WHO
The submitter’s account will receive the acceptance(s) and schedule documents.
The «presenter»’s account will receive the certificate of presentation of the poster(s) / presentations listed on his account.
Please note that at least one of the co-authors must be registered to the congress before the 5th of September 2025. Otherwise, the paper will not be included in the proceedings and program. Indeed if you have no specific presentation (such as for an ePoster displayed only), one author representative is required, must be registered, and present to get a final certificate.
RULES
(By submitting your abstracts, you agree to these rules)
- All abstracts must be submitted and presented in clear English with accurate grammar and spelling of a quality suitable for publication. If you need help, please arrange for the review of your abstract by a colleague who is a native English speaker, by a university scientific publications office (or other similar facilities) or by a copy editor, prior to submission.
- The presenting author is requested to ensure that all co-authors are aware of the content of the abstract before submission.
- Submission of an abstract acknowledges your acceptance for the abstract to be published on the Congress website and in the Congress journal supplement.
- Only Registered Reports and Project Abstracts will be accepted at this late deadline (see below)
ABSTRACT GUIDELINES
Content of the abstract
Registered Reports are abstracts that present the outline of a planned investigation before it begins. If accepted, authors are expected to submit the completed study as an abstract for next year’s ESMRMB, containing the results. If the study was conducted according to the plan, the abstract will automatically be accepted, regardless of whether the results are positive or negative. This is a great option both for clinical investigations and for methodological validation studies, where the outcome is uncertain, and might risk not being accepted if the result is negative.
Project Abstracts present research ideas, ongoing projects, or initiatives that would benefit from community input, collaboration, or feedback. Project abstracts are particularly valuable when you need specific expertise, want to build research networks, or seek community guidance to shape your work’s direction.
Both Registered Reports and Project Abstracts are not common in our field, for this reason, we are giving clear guidelines on what should be included in terms of content. Make sure to review these guidelines early, as writing such an abstract is not a smaller effort than writing a traditional scientific abstract! See the guidelines and examples here.
Structure of the Abstract
The abstract must be submitted in English and it should contain the following sections:
- Introduction
- Methodology
- Current Status and Preliminary Results
- Plan and Outlook
- References
Each abstract format has different required subsections! Please see the specific guidelines for Registered Reports and for Project Abstracts for the exact requirements.
The abstract (Introduction to Plan and Outlook) can be up to 5000 characters long (including spaces). The References do not count towards this limit. In order to meet this requirement, we kindly propose that abstracts should be prepared in MS Word and copied into the abstract submission system afterwards.
If your abstract contains tables or images, they can be submitted in .png or .jpg format.
Up to 4 figures can be attached to the abstract.
The captions can together be a maximum of 1000 characters.
References
References should be identified in the text by numbers in square brackets (e.g. [1], [2,3], [4–6]). Please add your numbered reference list in the Reference section. References should be styled in a way that will be familiar to the readers in the field of Magnetic Resonance Research. For examples, please refer to the author instructions of the MAGMA journal.
Abstract categories
Two categories:
- Registered Report
- Project Abstract
HOW DO I SUBMIT?
Before you begin, please prepare the following information:
Author and co-authors’ details:
a) Full first and family name(s)
b) Affiliation details: department, institution / hospital, city, state (if relevant), country,
c) email: please input the real email of each one of your co-authors. DO NOT copy/paste your own email for the co-authors, this will create a conflict with your own account.
Please note that you will not be able to change the list of authors after the deadline of submission.
You must create the list of authors through a specific form “Create a new author”.
Once created, you may add the authors (first author and co-authors), order them and select a presenter (the person who will be present and registered to the congress for presenting the abstract).
Graphs and images may be uploaded in a .png or .jpg format only. Up to 4 figures can be attached to the abstract.
The maximum file size of each graph/image is 500 KB. You may upload graphs in JPG or PNG format only.
- The abstracts can be edited after submission until the submission deadline. Following the submission deadline, no changes can be made to abstracts.
- Make sure that the name of each file does not include any special characters, and keep it as simple as possible.
- Validation:
Initially, the abstracts are registered under “Draft” status. You will receive an email confirming the registration of your abstract and that it is in draft status. If you do not receive this email within 48 hours, please contact us.
When your abstract is in draft form, you may return to your account at any time to amend the contents or submit the final version. Abstracts with a draft status MUST be submitted formally before the deadline. When you click SUBMIT, your abstract will change to the status “Submitted”, and you will receive a confirmation of your submission by email.
Only abstracts with a “Submitted” status will be forwarded to the abstract reviewers for rating.
