Review process 

Abstracts containing no data are unlikely to be accepted.  You must include results in your abstract unless you are describing a clinical case.

BRS abstracts are marked under blinded conditions by a review panel on the basis of originality, scientific merit and significance.  Reviewers do not score abstracts when there is a potential or actual conflict of interest.  Submitted abstracts are primarily selected for oral/poster presentation on the basis of the scores achieved during the review process.  The Organisers reserve the right to make minimal adjustments to the final programme in order to maintain a breadth and balance of interests in the programme.

BSMB abstracts will be reviewed by the local organising committee.  Abstracts will be selected for the oral programme on the basis of originality, significance and relevance to the programme.

Publication

BRS abstracts will be published in Frontiers in Endocrinology: Bone Research.

BSMB abstracts will be published in the International Journal of Experimental Pathology (IJEP).
