Late Abstract preparation

Abstracts containing insufficient information for review will be rejected.

  • contain a list of literature references, or acknowledgements of financial or other support;
  • include graphics or tables;
  • use, or depend on, character formatting such as bold, italics, superscript, symbol fonts.
• Abstracts MUST:
  • be submitted in their final state and will be reproduced directly from the online submission – any errors in spelling, grammar or scientific data will appear in print as submitted;
  • include the title (max. 200 characters incl. spaces, avoiding ALL CAP spelling);
    
  • be structured in 3 single-paragraph sections (Background max. 500 characters incl. spaces, Observations max. 1,200 characters incl. spaces, Conclusions max. 300 characters incl. spaces);
  • be submitted with the agreement of all listed authors;
