Abstract guidelines
Abstracts should be written in English. The maximum length of an abstract is 2000
characters including characters and spaces.
Characters are counted in the body of the abstract:
- Background;
- Aim;
- Methods;
- Results;
- Conclusions;
- Tables and Figures.
It is possible to present your results via a single image or one table. This will deduct
one character from the character count. However, we do not recommend using an image or a
table unless this is crucial for the interpretation of your results.
Abstract submission is open between January 9th – February 28th (24:00). Only abstracts
submitted before this time will be reviewed.
