Format of your abstract

• The congress accepts the following types of abstracts: original research, systematic reviews, and case reports.
• File format: Abstracts should be submitted as a Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx).
• Word Count: The abstract should not exceed 300 words. Keywords, title, and titles of abstract parts (e.g. Background, Aim, Methods, Results, and Conclusion part) are not included in a word count.
• Formatting: Abstracts should be prepared in accordance with the provided template.
• Language: English is the official language of the congress. All abstracts must therefore be written and submitted in English.
• Title:  The title should be concise and clearly reflect the main objective or focus of the study. Avoid the use of abbreviations and commercial (brand) names; use generic names where applicable. The title should be written in title case, with the first letter of each major word capitalized.
• Authors names: Full name of the first author should be written in CAPITAL LETTERS and the name of co-author(s) in lower-case letters. The author submitting an abstract to the OJS platform will be considered as a corresponding author. The email address used for registration will be considered as an email address for correspondence.
• STRUCTURE OF ABSTRACT
• Templates are available down below.
• SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND ORIGINAL RESEARCH
• The abstract must contain 5 parts written in the following order: Background, Aim, Methods, Results, and Conclusion.
• BACKGROUND: Briefly explain what is already known about the topic and why it matters. This part should give enough context to understand research.
• AIM: Clearly state the main goal of your work, ideally in one sentence.
• METHODS: Describe how the study was conducted. Clearly state the study design, sample size or population, and the key variables, interventions, or methods used. For systematic reviews, Methods should describe the literature search strategy and selection criteria,
• RESULTS: Write only the most important results of your research. Results must include specific data (e.g., numerical values, percentages, or statistical significance where applicable). Abstracts stating that results will be presented or discussed are not acceptable.
• CONCLUSION: Summarize the main message and briefly interpret the significance of your findings. For systematic reviews, Results should summarize the findings of the included studies.
• KEYWORDS: Provide 3 to 5 keywords that best describe your study and facilitate indexing and searchability.
• CASE REPORT
• INTRODUCTION: Briefly introduce the clinical context and explain why the case is important or interesting. Highlight what makes it relevant for practice or learning.
• CASE DESCRIPTION: Present the key clinical details of the case, including patient history, findings, diagnosis, management, and outcome. Focus on the most important information.
• DISCUSSION: Briefly explain what can be learned from the case. Compare it with existing knowledge or similar cases and highlight its clinical significance.
• CONCLUSION: Summarize the main message of the case and its relevance for clinical practice.
• Additional Requirements and Policies
•  The abstract should be self-contained and understandable without reference to the full paper.
• It is not permitted to include tables, charts, or pictures in your abstract.
• Use generic drug names only.
• References should not be included in the abstract.
• Abstract must contain original material. Plagiarism will result in rejection.
• A participant can be listed as the first author on only one paper. However, you are welcome to participate as a co-author on multiple papers. This policy is in place to provide equal opportunities for all researchers to showcase their work prominently as first authors while still allowing for collaboration and contribution to multiple research projects.
• Abstracts will be evaluated based on scientific quality, clarity, originality, and methodological rigor.
