ABSTRACT
Th e content of the abstract will determine whether or not your contribution is accepted by the organising committee. Some conferences have a policy of accepting nearly all abstracts submitted, but also use abstracts to decide which contributions should be presented as posters or orally. Th e better the abstract, the better your chances of being asked to give an oral presentation. Selection committees look for good science – but if the abstract is confusingly written or incomplete, the standard of the research may be underestimated. A well-written abstract allows the scientifi c quality of a study to be assessed objectively.
