Abstract Preparation and Submission
Goal: To present a concise yet complete description of the study question, methodology and results. Abstract structure should have 5 or 6 sections for clarity:
Text: Please use complete sentences and proper grammar. Use paragraph divisions for the sections - one long run-on paragraph is difficult to read.
Data: This is best presented, or augmented, by the inclusion of a table or figure. Ensure data is legible.
Lack of data: Submission of abstracts without data is not encouraged and is likely to be scored very low. It is not acceptable to submit an abstract describing the research plan. The best chance of acceptance is granted only to submissions which include data and results.
Conclusions: Be cautious and reasonable, avoid the trap of the statement. Similarly, a zero numerator demands the calculation of confidence intervals and great caution in interpretation.
Case Report or Case series: Novel case reports with a discussion and lessons learned have higher chances of acceptance.
Citations and references: Not more than 3-5 references are necessary. Cite previous work if applicable and also cite assertions about facts that may not be commonly accepted.
Prior to submission: Proofread abstract and have an experienced colleague/mentor proof read and critique the abstract. This will improve the quality of the abstract and increase chances of acceptance.
