Abstract submission guidelines

All abstracts accepted for the 18th EASM Conference will be published in the official Conference Abstract book. Please read the below guidelines carefully prior to your abstract submission.

1.	Abstracts MUST be submitted electronically according to the following instructions by the specified deadline of 19 April 2010. Abstracts submitted by fax or by email will not be accepted.
2.	An abstract should contain maximum of 4500 characters/letters including spaces (approx. 750 words). The system will automatically let you know whether you complied with the rules before accepting your submission.
3.	Tables or/and pictures cannot be inserted.
4.	All abstracts must be written in English. Should your abstract be accepted for an oral presentation you must be able to give your presentation in English.
5.	Titles should not contain more than 20 words. No abbreviations are to be used in the titles.
6.	When submitting your abstract, consider the related topics (please refer to the list here). However, the Scientific Committee reserves the right to decide on final topic assignment upon abstract selection.
7.	Application for the New Researcher’s Award or workshop needs to be indicated during the submission process, if desired. A tickbox is available for such indication. For further proceedings on the NRA, please refer to the NRA Instructions for submission
8.	Abstracts will be reviewed and selected by the Scientific Committee for oral or poster presentations. A preference for poster presentation may be indicated. However, the Scientific Committee will make the final decision as to how the abstract is to be presented. Abstract acceptance or rejection is based on the average mark awarded by the reviewers.
9.	Posters are particularly suitable for the presentation of complex data. Poster presentations carry the same status as oral presentations and will be subject to the same selection process by the Scientific Committee; i.e. by means of written abstracts in English.
10.	All accepted abstracts will be published in the Conference Abstract Book.
11.	The following subdivisions of your abstract are recommended but are NOT MANDATORY. There is no need to use every section if not appropriate to your work: • Background • Objectives • Methods • Results • Conclusion/Application to practice Please note that if you use a field, its title appears automatically - e.g. Background, Objectives... If you need to enter Greek letters or use bold, italics or superscript/subscript please use our special text editor by clicking on the 'edit' button.
12.	All abstract authors will be notified by e-mail on acceptance status.
13	Correction of abstracts can only be done before the deadline of 19 April 2010.
14.	Abstracts received after the deadline cannot be accepted and therefore will not be considered for the programme or publication.
15.	It is considered understood that Authors of accepted papers have the financial resources to pay all personal expenses incurred including Conference registration, production of their presentation, travel and accommodation during the Conference.
16.	Confirmation of acceptance notification is required together with conference fee payment at a requested date to have the abstract published in the Conference Abstract book. Should the author not follow either of these, the organiser reserves the right not to include the author’s work in the printed book.
