Submiting an abstract
Abstracts must be submitted in English using the online abstract form. Paper or emailed submissions will be rejected.
The presenting author is invited to indicate on the form the preference for oral or poster presentation. However, the final decision is that of the reviewer and programme committee and will be influenced by the quality and suitability of the abstract and logistics such as presentation space and time.
Tip If you have prepared your abstract in Word, check that no changes are introduced when you copy and paste into the online submission form.
| Most frequent reasons for abstract rejection – Not properly written/ not understandable – No new information provided – Previously published – Promotional in nature – Duplicate of another abstract |
The review process
After the submission of your abstract, a uniform review process will take place. The goal is not to limit the number of presentations or posters but to ensure that all abstracts published meet minimum professional standards and reflect good work.
Reviewers ask the following five basic questions:
- Does the work address a significant or important issue?
- Is the work new or has it been published already?
- Do the methods/approach enable the question asked at the start of the project to be answered rigorously?
- Have the data/findings been interpreted appropriately?
- Are the contents of the abstract clear and intelligible?
Note, however, that any accepted abstracts will be cancelled if the presenting author has not registered and paid the registration fee for the congress by 2 June 2025. This is the date by which the FIP congress programme materials must be finalised and so authors whose attendance cannot be confirmed by registration will not be scheduled. Their abstracts cannot be presented and will not be published.
