Instructions

  1. The abstract should state clearly the reasons for the study or review, the results obtained and the conclusions. Promises to explain the work or vague presentations of data will result in rejection. Limit your abstract to 500 words.
  2. The Congress referees prefer and will look with greatest favor on abstracts submitted in the Purpose-Methods- Results-Conclusion format.

Example:

Purpose: The section should be a succinct statement of the research question or hypothesis to be addressed.

Methods and Materials: The section should include the clinical setting (taking care not to identify the institution), sampling criteria, inclusive dates, etc. The control group should be adequately described. Specific mention should be made of the number of experimental subjects or patients in groups. The statistical method and levels of significance should be included.

Results: It should be stated in sufficient detail to support the conclusion, with only enough interpretation to indicate relevance; extended discussion or literature reviews should be avoided.

Conclusion: It should summarize the abstract (We conclude...) with a brief statement of findings clearly supported by the data, consistent with the research purpose, and with a minimum of further suggestions or inferences. The conclusion should be readable as a short, stand-alone statement.
  1. Congress referees will consider abstracts submitted in different styles only when the above-described format is inappropriate to the content.
  2. Short and descriptive titles are preferred, avoiding the declarative or interrogatory title styles. Abbreviations conjured up for use within an abstract are annoying and require constant reference on the part of readers, and non-standard abbreviations should be avoided. There should be no abbreviations used in the conclusion. Authors agree to copy editing of the abstract.
