CALL FOR PAPERS HAS CLOSED FOR 2018
Thank you to those have submitted. You will be notified by email shortly about the outcome of your submission.
Oral presentations of free papers that are accepted will be presented during the free paper sessions of the 2 day scientific programme. Selected orals will be given approximately 15 minutes to present however exact presentation time will be confirmed via email closer to the conference. Those not accepted for oral presentation may be accepted as poster presentations.
Selected poster presentations will be asked to give a 5 minute oral presentation outlining a summary of the work detailed on the poster. There will be prizes available for the best ranked posters.
All abstracts are peer-reviewed and ranked on the basis of scientific merit. The Program Committee will use these rankings to develop the final program. Not all abstracts will necessarily be accepted for presentation.
At the time of submitting your abstract the data must not have already appeared in print (it is OK for data to have been accepted for publication). If the research presented was supported by a commercial organisation, a statement identifying this support must be submitted. If the research involved human subjects, it must have been approved by your institutional review board or Human Ethics Committee and conform to international standards of ethical practice. Animal research must have been approved by an appropriate Review Board and conform to the highest standards of human care. An author of any abstract selected for participation on the program must attend the meeting and pay the relevant registration fee.
ABSTRACT DETAILS:
Please make clear if the paper is being submitted for consideration for an oral or poster presentation, or both. Those accepted for oral presentation do not need to generate a poster. If authors indicate “both”, where the abstract is not accepted as an oral presentation it may be accepted as a poster. The following guidelines outline the instructions for abstract submission.
The title should be brief, but adequate to clearly identify the nature of the study.
The title must be in UPPER CASE.
The name and location(s) where the work was undertaken must also appear.
The body of the abstract should be no more than 350 words. Words beyond that limit will be removed prior to review.
The abstract needs to be submitted as text
a) a brief background and a maximum of two sentences stating the study’s objectives;
b) a brief statement of methods used;
c) a summary of the results - including a brief comment on statistical methods, and key outcome data;
d) a brief discussion indicating the implications of the findings
(NB it is not satisfactory to state, “the results will be discussed”)
CASE REPORTS:
Case reports may be submitted for either poster presentation OR for the 'interesting cases' oral presentation session. If selected for the latter, an expert panel will discuss the case in conjunction with clinical input from the presenter and questions relevant to the case from the audience.
Case report abstracts should include the following sections:
a) introduction;
b) case summary;
c) brief summary of discussion.
THEMES:
We encourage abstracts to be presented on any topic relevant to poisoning/toxicology.
