Abstract Submission Guidelines
Abstract Acceptance and Presentation
Acceptance:
Accepted abstracts will be published in the 2012 ISBI Congress Program Book.
Presentation:
1. Request can be made for "oral," "poster" or "no preference". Selecting "oral" or "poster" will neither prejudice acceptance nor guarantee an oral or poster presentation because abstracts must be arranged to fit into a thematic group for presentation. However, the ISBI will make every effort to accommodate your presentation request.
2. Submission of an abstract constitutes a commitment by the author(s) to present at the 2012 ISBI Congress if accepted.
3. Expenses associated with the submission and presentation of an abstract are the responsibility of the presenter.
4. The ISBI reserves the right to all video or audio recordings of presentations at the Congress.
Rules for Submission of Abstracts
No revisions to abstracts (i.e. additions or deletions of author names, changes to text or data) will be permitted after the 01 June 2012 submission deadline
Author Name(s):
1. If an author's name appears on more than one abstract, it must be identical on each abstract.
2. An author's name may appear on multiple abstracts.
3. Additions or deletions of author names will not be permitted after the submision closes on 01 June 2012
Abstract Data:
1. The 2012 ISBI Congress is a forum for the presentation of best work in the field of burn care. Thus, the work covered by the abstract may have been previously published or presented.
2. The combined length of the abstract body and title may not exceed 2,500 characters. A character includes letters, numbers, and punctuation. The online system will not accept abstracts that exceed this character limit.
3. Authors should not "split" data to create several abstracts from one. If splitting is judged to have occurred, such abstracts may be accepted as ONE presentation. Authors will be asked to submit all the data as one presentation.
Abstract Withdrawal:
1. Abstracts can be withdrawn until 01 June 2012 by logging in to your submission page. After this date requests for withdrawal of an abstract must be received in writing by 01 July 2012 to avoid publication in the final program.
2. Proofread abstracts carefully to avoid errors before submission.
Rules for Preparation of Abstracts
Abstract Title:
1. An abstract must have a short, specific title, which clearly defines the content of the paper. Please enter your title in upper case.
2. Abstracts without titles or with titles that identify presenting institution or geographic area, will be disqualified.
Abstract Text:
1. Describe briefly the objectives of the study. State findings in detail sufficient to support conclusions. The format for the abstract should be as follows: Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions, Grant Information, Applicability of Research to Practice. All labels will automatically appear in bolded font. All fields are required.
2. Do not begin sentences with numerals.
3. Do not include title, authors, credits, your institution name or your geographic area within the abstract.
4. Abstracts that identify the presenting institution or geographic area in the body of the abstract or the title will be disqualified.
5. Trade names must not be used in the title or body of the abstract; use generic equivalents wherever possible. If a trade name must be used, include trade names from multiple companies rather than a single company's trade name.
Images & Tables:
1. We are unable to accept any images or tables in your abstract.
Abstract Revisions:
1. Prior to 01 June 2012 abstracts can be amended by clicking on the “Edit my abstract” button. After the 01 June 2012 deadline, abstracts may not be revised in any way or resubmitted.
2. Additions or deletions of author names will not be permitted after 01 June 2012. Proofread abstracts carefully to avoid errors before submission.
Abstract Acceptance:
1. Acceptance letters will be emailed to the presenting author in June 2012. Please be sure to include the email address of the lead author when you submit your abstract. It is the responsibility of the presenting author to notify additional authors of abstract acceptance.
