Electropenetrography (EPG)

Abstract Submission

The oral abstract submission portal will open on July 1, 2023 and will close December 1, 2023.  

The poster abstract submission portal will open on July 1, 2023 and will close January 5, 2024.

Guidelines for abstract submission
Presentation Types

Oral Presentation (15 minutes: 12 minutes talk + 3 minutes Q & A)

Oral presentations are ideal for presenting research projects that are close to completion, with emerging conclusions. This style of performance allows the author to place their work in a broader context, and to discuss hypotheses, study design, and outcomes in detail.

Poster Presentation
Poster presentations allow you to showcase your work to a broader audience and provide opportunities for discussion with your peers one-on-one or in small groups. Poster presentations are an opportunity to present works in progress, preliminary results, new methods and techniques, or detailed proposals for future research.

Poster printing will be available for an additional fee of $110 USD.

Abstract Selection Criteria

The Scientific Committee will attempt to accommodate the preferred presentation type for all delegates, but inevitably the number of oral presentations (15 min) that can be accommodated in the program is limited. Sometimes the number of delegates requesting oral presentations exceeds the places available, in which case, presenters will be approved for a poster.

The criteria used to assess abstracts may include:

  • scientific merit, originality, and compatibility with other submission to make cohesive presentation sessions
  • compliance with the word count and format requirements for abstracts

Abstracts for 15-minute oral presentations may be submitted before all analyses and interpretations of the results have been finalized, but authors MUST report some specific preliminary results. Vague statements such as ‘results will be discussed’ are not acceptable.

Abstract Submission

When submitting an abstract, you will be required to provide the following information:

  • Abstract title: a brief, interesting and explicit description of the presentation(<15words)
  • Name and contact details of lead presenting author
  • Preferred presentation type (oral presentation or poster)
  • Authors’ names (lead author is normally expected to present the material; underline presenter name)
  • Authors’ affiliations
  • Abstract (max. length 250 words)
  • Biographical sketch of presenting author (max. length 40 words), i.e. name, present role, area of research interest
  • Acknowledgement that you intend to register and attend the 2024 EPG Conference if your abstract is accepted

Abstract notification

Notification of accepted presentations will be sent out by December 20, 2023.
