Abstract submission guidelines

 

Presentation types

Oral communications
Oral communications are normally 10 minutes (7 for the presentation and 3 for questions/answers).

Oral Posters
For oral posters presenters will give a short presentation (5 minutes, 3 for the presentation and 2 for questions/answers; maximum 3 slides) and in addition will present a poster.

Posters
Posters will be on boards for the entire meeting.  There will be dedicated sessions during each day when presenters will be asked to be at their boards to discuss their data with other delegates.  Poster sizes are Size – A0 maximum (841mm wide x 1189mm high) (portrait format).

Submitting authors have the option of choosing oral or poster format, but the BRS Committee makes the final decision based upon the results of the review process and the best interests of the overall programme.

Detailed instructions for presenters will be posted on the meeting website in March 2014.

 

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.

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 BRS committee reserves the right to make minimal adjustments to the final programme in order to maintain a breadth and balance of interests in the programme.

The final programme will be published on the meeting website in April 2014.

 

Publication

Abstracts will be published in Frontiers.
