ISPAD 2023 welcomes the submission of abstracts that make an original contribution to the field. All abstracts submitted will go through a blind, peer-review process carried out by an international review panel. Each abstract will be reviewed by at least two reviewers and the final selection of abstracts will be completed by members of the Abstract Review Committee.

 

All accepted abstracts will appear online in their full form, which will be issued as a special supplement of ISPAD’s Journal Pediatric Diabetes.

 

Guidelines

  • The deadline for abstract submission is midnight Central European Time (CET) on 9 May, 2023. Abstracts will not be accepted after this date.
  • All abstracts must be written in English and in “Sentence case.”
  • All abstracts must be submitted online via the registration form.
  • Abstracts sent by fax, post or email will not be considered. It is the author’s responsibility to submit a correct abstract. Any errors in spelling, grammar or scientific fact will be reproduced as submitted by the author.
  • Please note that it is still possible to edit an abstract, even after clicked “submit”, until the end of the deadline
  • The text should not exceed 2,000 characters including spaces. One table or figure can be inserted, but kindly note that 50 characters per table/figure will be removed from your total abstract count. The text of the abstract should briefly state:
    • Objectives: Indicate the purpose of the study or the hypothesis that was tested.
    • Methods: Include the setting for the study, the subjects, the diagnosis or intervention, and the type of statistical analysis. If references are needed, they should be provided in the text.
    • Results: Present as clearly as possible the outcome of the study and after significance if appropriate
    • Conclusions: Briefly discuss the data and emphasize the significance of the results. All abstracts should disclose primary findings and avoid, whenever possible, avoid statements on what is not in the abstract (on future studies or results), such as “experiments are in progress “or “results will be discussed“.

Rule of Two

Each presenting author may present a maximum of two abstracts at the Conference. There is no limit to the number of abstracts which may be submitted by one author.
