SCMR Scientific Sessions Abstract guidelines
The following guidelines are for the SCMR Scientific Sessions
Publication: Selected abstracts will be published on an electronic media for distribution at the meeting and will be available online.
Previous Presentation of Abstracts: Abstracts ARE NOT considered for presentation if they were either published as an article or previously presented at a national or international meeting prior to the date of this presentation. Please be aware that submitted abstracts will be checked for plagiarism against previously published abstracts and articles using automated software.
Conflict of Interest: If the research was partially or fully funded by a proprietary organization (e.g. pharmaceutical, biotech or device manufacture), you must describe the nature of the relationship. Example: “Research was funded in part by the XYZ Corporation, City, State.” Please do not list any authors with the disclosure text.
Grading: Abstracts are graded through a blind review. Authors should be cautious in using institutional references in the body of the abstracts. Do not put author names and affiliations in the body portion of the abstract.
Changes to Abstract after Submission: If you must make a MINOR change to your submitted abstract, this must be done by August 29, 2016, 11:59 PM, Eastern Standard Time. Any corrections and/or changes will not be accepted after that date.
Abstract Receipt Confirmation: If you submit on or before the deadline date, you will receive an email confirmation within two business days of submitting your abstract. If you submit on the deadline date and do not receive a confirmation within 48 hours, please contact support@cadmiumcd.com.
Submission: When you have completed your online abstract form, click on Submit Abstract, but ONLY when you are sure that your abstract is complete and in final form.
Abstract Style: Remember that your abstract will appear EXACTLY as you submit it. Please check abstracts carefully for typographical errors, author listing, misspellings, poor hyphenation, etc. The will be glaringly apparent in the published abstracts.
Title: The title should be brief, but long enough to identify clearly the nature of the study.
Abstract Structure: The body of the abstracts should be organized as follows:
Tables and Graphs: Simple tables and graphs may be included if they fit within the size constraints of the electronic program. Follow the instructions in the program for submitting graphs and use the table formatting function for table preparation.

Title: The title should be brief, but long enough to identify clearly the nature of the study.
Abstract Structure: The body of the abstracts should be organized as follows:
- A brief discussion of the background.
- A brief description of the methods used.
- A brief description of the results.
- A statement of conclusions reached. Do not state simply that the results will be discussed.
Tables and Graphs: Simple tables and graphs may be included if they fit within the size constraints of the electronic program. Follow the instructions in the program for submitting graphs and use the table formatting function for table preparation.

- Oral Abstract Session (10 sessions available) - The traditional oral abstract presentation session.
- Power Pitch Session (2 sessions available) - The Power Pitch Sessions are designed to allow attendees to rapidly overview a significant number of abstracts in a concentrated fashion. Authors will present their abstracts in 3-minute talks, highlighting only the more objective details. Immediately after the session, questions and more in-depth discussions will take place directly with the presenters during traditional poster presentations.
- Focus Session (10 sessions available) - The Focus Sessions will combine new scientific developments from abstract presentations with educational lectures tied by a central theme. Attendees will enjoy introductory lectures providing a technical and clinical background for the subject of the Session, followed by state-of-the-art developments presented by abstract authors. The addition of novelty abstract blocks to solid baseline talks should help build a rich teaching environment for the audience.
- Walking Poster Session (8 sessions available) - The walking poster sessions are moderated poster presentations in a dedicated meeting room. Presenting authors will be expected to be present at their poster and give a short (5 min) oral overview on their work to moderators with a focus on results, followed by questions from the moderators.
- Traditional Poster Session (3 sessions available) - The traditional poster presentation session.
