(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 the abstracts of registered presenting authors will be included in the final programme.
  • The Scientific Committee will determine whether abstracts will be accepted as Oral or e-poster presentations, with consideration to be given to the author’s preference. Abstracts will be reviewed and assigned to appropriate sessions.
  • All submitted abstracts must contain scientific results. Abstracts stating “data will be disclosed in the presentation” will NOT be accepted.
    Exceptions: registered reports and project abstracts which will be accepted at a later deadline. Details will follow”
  • Systematic reviews conducted according to accepted scientific practices (e.g. PRISMA) will be considered, but not narrative reviews”
  • If you would like your work to be considered for the “General Audience Pitches” competition, please indicate it so during the submission process. See the rules and conditions here

ABSTRACT GUIDELINES

  5. Conclusion
  6. Data and Code Availability Statement
  7. References

The abstract (Introduction to Conclusion) can be up to 5000 characters long (including spaces). The Data and Code Availability Statement and 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.

Data and Code Availability

If your abstract does not contain code or data that can be shared, please indicate (either one or both statements, where applicable):

  • No code is available for this abstract.
