Call for Abstract is now closed
Abstracts selected for presentation during the conference will be printed from the electronically submitted material. Every effort will be made to reproduce the content of the abstracts as submitted.
However, please be sure to carefully check your abstract for content errors, spelling, names, etc. before submitting. HUGO does not proof-read or correct spelling, typographical, grammatical, or scientific errors, nor can changes be made once the abstract is submitted.
Guidelines
[Note to Invited Speakers: The submission guidelines below do not apply to invited abstracts. Please disregard these guidelines.]
Authors who submit an abstract of a paper confirm that they have not previously published these data, that they have not previously presented them at a large national annual scientific meeting, and that they are not planning to present or publish them prior to the dates of this HUGO meeting.
The Abstract Review Committee will evaluate the scientific quality of the submitted abstract on the basis of the following criteria: novelty of the research, significance of the findings, and clarity.
Authors should be particularly cognizant of the importance of setting forth the objectives and hypotheses of the study in a clear, succinct manner and of summarizing the new, unpublished results. If the abstract is poorly written such that the Abstract Review Committee cannot determine its novelty and importance, the paper will not be accepted for presentation at the conference.
Authors submitting abstracts for presentation at this workshop should consider the following:
Abstracts must describe in a succinct manner the purposes and results of the research so that the quality, originality and comprehensiveness of the work can be evaluated by the International Scientific Committee. Each abstract should contain:
(a) an introductory sentence indicating the purposes of the study;
(b) a brief description of pertinent experimental procedures;
(c) a summary of the new, unpublished data; and
(d) a statement of the conclusions. Authors must accept sole responsibility for the statements in their abstracts.
Titles should be indicative of the content of the abstract. All words necessary to identify the subject matter should be included in the title to facilitate electronic retrieval (if applicable). Avoid nonstandard abbreviations in abstract titles.
Abbreviations may be used in the body of an abstract if they are defined at their first mention in the text.
The combined length of the abstract body should not exceed 500 words. The online submission module will not accept abstracts that exceed this word limit.
The accuracy of the submitted abstract is the responsibility of the authors. Every effort will be made to publish the abstract exactly as submitted. Authors should prepare and proofread their abstracts carefully prior to submission. Errors made on your submitted abstract are likely to appear in print.
Authors are strongly encouraged to print a hard copy of their abstract for their records before submitting.
All PRESENTERS must register to attend HGM 2011 and presenters will not be given a poster number or an oral presentation slot until full payment is received for their registration.
If an abstract is accepted and the PRESENTER does not register, the abstract may be withdrawn. By submitting an abstract, the submitting author authorizes the abstract to be published by HUGO in the means it deem fit.
Abstract Submitters will receive an initial notification of receipt in the form of a confirmation screen. Notifications of abstract receipt will be sent to the ABSTRACT SUBMITTER only. Once an abstract has been submitted, it may be withdrawn or edited only till 15 December 2010.
Notification of Abstract Status
Abstract presenters will be notified by e-mail 2-3 weeks after the abstract submission deadline. Notices and instructions will be sent to the e-mail address provided at the time of abstract submission. |
