Call for Abstracts
IFEM invites all researchers to submit original clinical, basic or population health research for presentation at the ICEM 2006 Conference in Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada, scheduled to be held from June 3–7, 2006. The ICEM 2006 Committee has worked hard to ensure the research presentations have a high profile at this meeting. Abstracts should represent original research that has:
- not been published or presented at an international scientific meeting, and
- not been previously published in a paper or online journal or book.
All abstracts must be submitted electronically for receipt on or before Dec. 20, 2005, 23:59 Mountain Standard Time.
Instructions for preparing abstracts
Please follow instructions. Failure to do so will result in abstract disqualification. Abstracts may be submitted in English only. The abstract must be typed single space, clear and legible. The abstract must be submitted electronically after Nov. 1, 2005, as follows: Go to www.ICEM2006.com Web site. Click on Call for Abstracts and follow the instructions. Fill in all mandatory boxes. Do not leave empty fields. The abstract must contain, in order: Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions. Indicate the preferred mode of presentation: oral versus poster, as well as which '‘Track Domain' the research is intended for (Administrative, Prehospital, Therapeutics, etc). Provide the institutional affiliation, city and province and country of the primary author only. The text of the abstract should be left-justified, and maximum length is 300 words. Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum, and defined when first used. Graphs and tables must fit within the abstract box.
Abstract review process
All abstracts will be peer reviewed by a process approved by the ICEM Coordinators from your country of origin. Abstract reviewers will be using a standardized evaluation form. The Research Committee reviewers will be blinded to the authors’ name(s) and institutional affiliation(s). Strict conflict of interest declarations will be provided to each reviewer. Abstracts will be selected for oral or poster presentation.
Oral presenters will be permitted 10 minutes for their presentation followed by 5 minutes for discussion. Posters will be available for viewing in a central location at the World Trade and Convention Centre Exhibit Floor.
Notification of acceptance will be transmitted via email no later than March 1, 2006. Consequently, all contact information must be correct at submission. We regret we cannot give notification via telephone.
Complete presentation schedules will be posted on the ICEM 2006 Web site. Publication of the original abstract in the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine (CJEM) will be completed once the abstracts are accepted.
