Points to Consider During Abstract Submission and Submission Guidelines

Abstracts must be submitted online via the abstract submission system on the congress website, in either ENGLISH or TURKISH. Abstracts sent independently via e-mail or postal mail will not be accepted. Since abstracts submitted online will be published exactly as received if accepted, careful attention must be paid to spelling and formatting.

The presenting author MUST register by November 13, 2026. Abstracts of authors who are not registered will not be published in the congress abstract book.

Formatting Guidelines

• Abstracts will be collected through the online abstract submission system.
• Academic titles must not be used in author names.
• Names should be written in lowercase letters, with only the first letter capitalized.
• The names and addresses of the institutions where the authors work must be clearly stated.
• Only the first letter of the abstract title should be capitalized (abbreviations are exceptions).
• If abbreviations are used in the abstract, their full form must be written in parentheses at first mention.
• The purpose of the study and the methods used should be briefly stated; findings should be summarized with sufficient numerical detail; and conclusions should be clearly presented based on the findings.
• The abstract must be structured under the headings: Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion.
• The total length of the abstract must not exceed 300 words, excluding the title and the author’s name and surname.
• Abstracts will be categorized as Poster or Oral Presentation, and the most appropriate topic category must be selected during submission.
• Abstracts must be in text format, and ONLY one table and one figure may be included.
• Abstracts that do not comply with any of these rules will be excluded from evaluation regardless of their content.

Important Notes

• If you are using the online abstract module for the first time, please register via the “New User” link.

• Since abstracts submitted online will be printed as received, please check carefully for spelling and formatting errors.
• Please keep the confirmation e-mails sent to you after submission.
• You can track the entire evaluation process of your abstract through the system using your e-mail and password.

Evaluation of Abstracts

Abstracts will be evaluated online by the Abstract Evaluation Committee, with the authors’ names and institutions kept confidential. In order for the abstract to be evaluated, the presenting author must complete congress registration no later than October 12, 2026. Evaluation results will be sent to all authors in writing.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

Abstracts accepted as poster presentations will be published in the abstract book to be issued after the congress.
Poster abstracts that are not presented will not be included in the congress abstract book.
Accepted posters must be prepared electronically through the system according to the steps specified in the acceptance letter and will be displayed as E-Posters during the congress.

ORAL PRESENTATION INFORMATION

Abstracts accepted as oral presentations may be prepared using any electronic presentation software.
The time allocated for each presentation will be stated in the acceptance letter.
If an abstract is accepted but the author fails to present it at the specified date and time during the congress, the work will be removed from the congress abstract book.
