Abstract Guidelines

 

The Scientific Committee welcomes the submission of abstracts for presentation at the Joint Annual Conference of the Swiss Society of Pneumology.

The Abstract submission has now been closed.

Notification letter will be sent out by the end of February 2019.

 

In order to standardize the abstract layout, we kindly ask you to read the guidelines carefully.

Abstract Guidelines

  2. Abstracts must be submitted in English, presentations of accepted abstracts may be held in German, French or English.
  3. Your abstract will be printed as submitted (abstracts may be edited before the submission deadline).
  4. Please make sure that name, email of submitting/corresponding author is correct.
  5. Please structure your abstract using the following headings:
    • Introduction
    • Method(s)
    • Results
    • Conclusion
  6. The abstract text may not be longer than 300 words (including spaces, excluding authors’ names, affiliations, disclosures and the abstract title), the title may not be longer than 20 words.
  7. All abbreviations must be defined the first time they appear in your text (but, do not define in the title).
  8. Tables, charts and other graphics are permitted (max. 2 tables and 2 images) and must be in JPG or GIF format, of high resolution and in black and white.
  9. You may choose your preferred presentation type during the abstract submission: Poster presentation only or Oral/Poster presentation. The Scientific Programme Committee reserves the right to decide on the final allocation and presentation method.
  10. Abstracts must contain original material neither published nor presented in Switzerland prior to 10 May 2019.

  12. Please limit the number of authors listed to those who have substantially contributed to the abstract. If authors’ names appear on more than one abstract, their names must appear and be spelled identically on each abstract in order to facilitate proper indexing. Wherever possible, do not list authors with initials only. Enter every author’s name into a separate field for indexing.
  13. After having submitted your abstract, you will receive a confirmation by email with
