ABSTRACTS SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Abstracts are invited for Poster presentations only.

The committee reserves the right to contact authors, if required to clarify the nature of intended presentations prior to making decisions regarding their acceptance.

  • Abstracts will not be accepted if they have been previously published as a full paper.
  • Abstracts will not be accepted if they have been presented elsewhere more than one year before the meeting date.
  • Selected abstracts will be published with a citation in the Clinical Neurophysiology Journal 
  • Abstracts should contain no references unless absolutely necessary and where they are, no more than 2 references. These will count towards the word count.
  • Abstracts are to be provided in English.
  •  If your abstract is accepted as a poster, you will be required to produce a poster which follows the required poster guidelines.

Posters are to be displayed (in the main plenary room) for the duration of the Workshop. 

Presenting authors will be expected to give a short presentation during the Poster Discussion on Tuesday, 8th October between 2.00-3.00pm.

Format for Abstracts 

Selected (previously non-published) abstracts will be published in the Clinical Neurophysiology Journal.

The body of the abstract should be structured with following headings in bold; 

  • Objective
  • Methods
  • Results
  • Conclusions
  • Significance

Any abbreviations should be defined where first mentioned. 

Abstracts that don’t follow these instructions will not be considered for publication. 

Examples of abstracts can be seen in CLINPH.

  • Abstracts should be a summary of the paper and must not exceed 200 words not including the title 
  • Do not include titles or degrees
  • Abstracts should contain no references unless absolutely necessary and where they are, no more than 2 references. These will count towards the word count
