ABSTRACT SPECIFICATIONS

Abstracts must be entered/pasted into the submission form. If experiencing difficulty with special characters, please submit the abstract, then contact cda@intertaskconferences.com for assistance.

Titles should be limited to no more than approximately 150 characters (not including spaces). Please use Upper and Lower case, NOT UPPER CASE.

Limit your abstracts to no more than 300 words (MAXIMUM).

Refer to generic names rather than brand names.

Each abstract should have three paragraphs:

Introduction

Methods, Results

Conclusions

Only one table OR one image may be uploaded (see also: IMAGE UPLOAD REQUIREMENTS).

Include learning objectives and a takeaway message.

Titles, learning objectives, takeaway messages, and tables/images will NOT be included in the 300-word count.

IMAGE UPLOAD REQUIREMENTS
Accepted abstracts may be published and or posted online. For optimal online viewing, it is recommended that only high-resolution images (300 dpi) be used. If submitting scanned pages, ensure pages are first scanned using a high-resolution setting. If uploaded images/charts/scans are not legible, they may be omitted from the published abstract.

ANONYMITY
Only FULLY ANONYMOUS versions of abstracts or case reports/series will be accepted for review. No identification of authors, institution of origin, geographic area, sources of funding, or author references may appear in the Title or Text. For example, do not state ‘the study was approved by the University of Ottawa REB’, rather, ‘Local Ethics Committee approval was obtained’.

PRESENTING AUTHOR

All submissions MUST identify a presenting author, and the maximum presenters per abstract is one (1).

All correspondence will be sent to the submitter. It is their responsibility to communicate this information to any additional authors.

All presenting authors MUST register for the Annual Conference and pay the appropriate registration fee by April 1, 2024. Registration to the conference is not complimentary for abstract presenters. Failure to do so will result in the automatic withdrawal of the abstract from the program for non-compliance with the Abstract Submission Guidelines. If the presenting author is unable to attend the meeting, please notify the CDA of an alternate presenter.

If there is a change in the name or address of the presenting author prior to submission deadline of Monday, January 15, 2024, 23:30 ET, edit the abstract in the online submission tool. After this date, please contact: cda@intertaskconferences.com.

New authors CANNOT be added to an abstract after the deadline.
