ABSTRACT

An abstract submitted to a scientific meeting should be a brief but comprehensive summary of the presentation biomedical researchers intend to make, whether oral or poster. It is probably best to just focus on one objective in their abstract; otherwise they may find it difficult not only to write a good abstract in the allotted space, but also to present the data well at the conference. Unless the whole point of presentation is to describe a new method or to evaluate an existing method, should keep the details of researchers methods to the minimum necessary to understand the results. It is very important that they present their results precisely so that the abstract reviewers can assess the quality of their findings. Electronic submission of abstracts often means that can include a figure or table in abstract. The submission guidelines on the conference website should tell if researchers can include a figure or table and, if so, how to insert it.
