Review Criteria
- Innovation/Novelty - Advancement of knowledge, and/or improvement of capabilities.
- Quality - All recommendations involving clinical medicine must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. Data/outcomes should be substantive and not just implied. When possible, comprehensive statistical analysis should be applied. Images and spectra should be of the highest quality.
- Impact - The method or data in the abstract should aim to advance or change the field or the behavior of clinicians in significant ways.
- Bias - Bias in favor of a particular product or company is grounds for rejection. Use of a particular company’s products or equipment in itself does not represent bias. Likewise, research involving a single method, drug, or device would not constitute bias if it conforms to best practices of study design and analysis. Non data-driven statements of superiority, however, would be considered biased.
- Repetition of Content - Multiple submissions to the conference of the same or nearly the same abstract by the same author(s)/institution(s) is grounds for rejection.
- Clarity - Organization, presentation, structure, readability
Tips:Proofread your abstract before submission. Minimize use of abbreviations. Type in sentence case.
