Abstracts should contain the following four components:
- Background: A concise statement of the issue under investigation or a hypothesis.
- Material and Methods: The experimental methods used (including the statistical analyses employed).
- Results: Specific findings (promises such as “to be completed” or “to be presented” are not acceptable).
- Conclusions: A summary of findings that are supported by your results (statistical analyses used to support the conclusions, where appropriate, should be included; concluding statements such as “the results will be discussed” are not acceptable).
Additional Requirements:
- The maximum word count for the abstract body is 500 words.
- Abstracts are considered official communications to the meeting and will be treated confidentially. Submitters of accepted abstracts agree to attend the meeting and present their abstract as scheduled.
