Abstract Submission
Everything you need to prepare, submit and track an abstract for Istanbul MS Days XI.
How submission works
Abstracts are handled entirely through the online abstract system. You create an account once, then submit, revise and follow every abstract from the same dashboard.
-
1
Create your account
Register on the abstract system with your name, institution and a valid e-mail address. All correspondence — confirmations, revision requests and the result letter — is sent to this address, so use an address you check regularly.
-
2
Start a new abstract
The submission form is a four-step wizard: (1) title, presentation preference and topic; (2) institutions and authors; (3) abstract text and keywords; (4) preview and confirm.
-
3
Save as draft
You may save at any point and return later. Drafts are private, are not sent for review, and can be edited or deleted without limit until you submit them.
-
4
Submit
Once you confirm, the abstract moves to "Submitted" status and an automatic confirmation e-mail is sent. A submitted abstract can no longer be edited unless the scientific committee requests a revision.
-
5
Follow the result
The outcome — accepted, revision requested or rejected — appears on your dashboard and is also sent to you as a result letter by e-mail.
Presentation Categories
Indicate your preference in the first step of the form. The final presentation type is decided by the scientific committee and may differ from your preference.
Oral Presentation
Selected abstracts are presented in a dedicated session of the scientific programme. Duration and session details are communicated with the acceptance letter.
E-Poster
Presented on digital screens throughout the congress. The e-poster template and upload deadline are announced after acceptance.
Submission Rules
- Abstracts are accepted only through the online abstract system. Submissions sent by e-mail, post or any other channel will not be evaluated.
- At least one author of each abstract must be registered for the congress. Only abstracts of registered authors are included in the scientific programme and the abstract book.
- One presenting author must be designated for every abstract. The presenting author is expected to attend the congress and deliver the presentation in person.
- There is no limit on the number of abstracts an author may submit, but each abstract must be entered as a separate submission.
- Abstracts must be original and must not have been presented or published elsewhere before the congress.
- Abstracts are published exactly as submitted. No corrections are made to spelling, grammar or content; responsibility for the final text rests entirely with the authors.
- Responsibility for ethics committee approval, patient consent and all other ethical requirements belongs to the authors.
- Presentations cannot be withdrawn once the acceptance letter has been sent. Authors whose accepted abstracts are not presented, and who cannot document a valid justification, may not have future submissions accepted.
