Abstract Submission
Abstracts for the 41st Critical Care Congress will be accepted May 1, 2011 to September 1, 2011. View a list of abstract categories below. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS NOW CLOSED.
All submissions must be entered by 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on September 1, 2011. No extensions or late-breaking abstracts permitted.
Submission Instructions
- To submit, log in with your SCCM customer ID and password on the left, or sign up for an account. Once logged in, click the “Submit Abstracts” button to the left. Follow the instructions and prompts to complete your submission.
- Abstracts and/or information previously presented or published within the United States or internationally are not allowed. You may submit new research on a topic presented previously.
- Submission of an abstract constitutes a commitment by the author(s) to present the abstract as accepted.
- Expenses associated with the preparation, submission and presentation of an abstract are the responsibility of the presenter(s)/author(s).
- Authors of accepted abstracts are expected to register for the meeting and pay the meeting registration fee, unless they qualify and apply for complimentary registration.
Formatting Guidelines
Failure to follow these formatting guidelines will result in a low priority score and may cause disqualification of your abstract. View examples of previously accepted abstracts. All abstracts should conform to the following content structure and format guidelines:
- A sentence describing the purpose of the study
- A statement of hypothesis
- A statement of experimental design or method used
- A summary of results, presented in sufficient detail to support the conclusion
- A statement of conclusions reached
Other formatting rules include:
- The abstract cannot be more than 2,200 total characters for the body of the abstract.
- Do not use subtitles (e.g., methods, results, etc.) within the body of the abstract. Doing so will cause duplicated subtitles as those headers are already included within the final abstract layout.
- The abstract may not contain tables or images.
- Phrases such as “results/methods will be discussed” or “additional data will be presented” convey no relevant information and are unacceptable.
- The abstract cannot contain any HTML. To avoid formatting inconsistencies, please do not copy and paste your abstract directly from Microsoft Word. Instead, paste the content into a plain text editor (such as Notepad).
