Preparation of Your Abstract
1. The title should be as brief as possible but long enough to indicate clearly the nature of the study. Capitalise the first letter of a sentence. No full stop at the end.
2. Abstracts should state briefly and clearly the purpose, methods, results and conclusions of the work (Word limit: 200 words).
Introduction: Clearly state the purpose of the abstract
Methods: Describe your selection of observations or experimental subjects clearly
Results: Present your results in a logical sequence in text, tables and illustrations
Conclusion: Emphasize new and important aspects of the study and conclusions that are drawn from them
How to submit
2. Log in to the submission system when your abstract is completed and ready to send. To log in, enter your email address and the password you chose when you registered with the system.
3. When you click the “log in” button you will be taken to a screen from which the submission process starts. Please read the instructions on this screen carefully. It would lead you to the submission form where you will need to fill in the details.
4. Submitting an abstract is a step-by-step process. Each step asks several questions.
• Abstract title: enter your abstract title here.
• Mandatory questions: some questions are marked “Required”. We cannot accept your abstract until these questions have been answered.
• Completing your submission: once you have completed the questions on the final step click the “Submit” button. Your abstract will be assigned a reference number and you will receive email confirmation. If you have not answered all the mandatory questions your abstract will be held in temporary storage until you return later and complete all the questions.
• Summary: when you have completed your submission, you will see a summary of all the answers you gave to the questions on the form. You can return to the submission form at any time to see the summary again.
Amending a submission
You may wish to change your answers to some of the questions on the submission form, or even to change the abstract file itself.
1. Log in to the submission system
2. You will see a list of the abstracts that you have submitted. Click on the abstract that you wish to change.
3. The process of amending an abstract is the same as the original submission process, except that the submission form will be automatically filled in with the answers that you gave previously – you don’t have to change an answer if you don’t want to.
4. When you reach the final step and press “Finish” you will be sent an email confirming that your abstract has been amended – provided you have answered all the mandatory questions.
