DECIDE ON THE MESSAGE
First, your work must be original, must not have been previously published as a manuscript, and must be submitted with the full knowledge and agreement of your coauthors. Do not submit identical or nearly identical abstracts to different sections of the same meeting, as that is a form of double publication. Do not write the abstract based on anticipated data. You may find yourself in the embarrassing position of presenting different data, or withdrawing the abstract.An abstract is not a full-length article. You can only make one or two specific points in each abstract.
