Short Communications

As in previous years, Short Communications will be part of the Congress programme.

Colleagues wishing to share their experiences in a certain field, by presenting original personal data (unique clinical observations, case series, clinical research), may propose papers to be examined by the scientific committee.

The personal and unique nature of the data presented is absolutely essential ; therefore, we cannot accept any general summaries or overviews for this programme.

- Only papers that are submitted before the deadline on the server will be examined by the scientific committee.

- Authors will be notified about the acceptance (or not) of their papers during the month of April at the latest.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION – HOW TO PREPARE YOUR PAPER FOR SUBMISSION :

Each submission must include :

- The title of the presentation,

- The complete list of authors in alphabetical order (format : initial of first name and surname of each author),

- The name of the presentation's author will be requested when the paper is submitted.

- The full address (including phone numbers and e-mail addresses) of each author

- The text (maximum 5000 characters, spaces included).

- For isolated clinical cases, we recommend using the following text format : introduction, case history, clinical exam, diagnostic procedure, treatment, discussion and conclusion.

- For research projects, the traditional text format (introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion and conclusion) should be used.

- For case series, either one of the two formats above may be used, depending on the size of the series and the angle from which the series is being presented.

- A bibliography is not mandatory but would be appreciated (please limit your list to the 5 most important references).

Loading your communication onto the server :

If you wish, it is suggested that you prepare your abstract first as a Word document.

After preparing your paper as a Word document, the only thing left to do is to copy it onto the server and finalize the format (font, font size, etc).

Special instructions will guide you through the various steps of loading your document onto the server.

If your communication is selected by the scientific committee, the text you submit will be used “as-is” in the congress proceedings booklet.

The presentations must not be over 15 minutes long--speaking time must be carefully respected.

In exchange for making a presentation at the Congress, you will receive :

- free registration to the congress,

- a free invitation (for one person) to the congress evening.

No transportation or hotel accommodation costs will be covered by the Congress Organizing Committee.

The organizing team would like to thank everyone in advance for enriching the upcoming Paris Congress with their abstract propositions. We are looking forward to meeting you.
