Presentation Formats

The Scientific Committee will ultimately decide whether a submitted paper will be selected for an oral or a poster presentation. A considerable part of the invited talks will be selected based on scientific merit of submitted abstracts. Please make sure to indicate the preferred presentation type: oral, poster, Instructional Course, Mini Symposium on the abstract submission web site.

The scheduled time for each oral presentation is 10 minutes. At the end of each oral communication session there will be a 10-15 minute live discussion/ Q&A with all speakers of the session, led by a scientific/clinical moderator. With this in mind speakers are requested to stay within the time given. While the names of several authors may be included on the title of the abstract, only one author will be allowed to give the oral presentation.

Authors

Good research should be well justified, well planned, and appropriately designed, so that it can properly address the research question. Abstract should publish based on the copyright that constitutes authorship. All authors are responsible for the quality, accuracy, and ethics of the work. Republication of a paper in another language, or simultaneously in multiple journals with different audiences, may be acceptable, provided that there is full and prominent disclosure of its original source at the time of submission of the manuscript.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the use of other's published and unpublished ideas or words (or other intellectual property) without attribution or permission and presenting them as new and original rather than derived from an existing source. At EACD, we strongly discourage and are against this ruthless act. If found guilty, to any extent, EACD will fight for Plagiarism. Self-plagiarism refers to the practice of an author using portions of their previous writings on the same topic in another of their publications, without specifically citing it formally in quotes.

Advertisement

Advertisers and donors should have no control over editorial material under any circumstances. Commercial advertisements should not be placed adjacent to any editorial matter that discusses the product being advertised, nor adjacent to any article reporting research on the advertised product.

Instructions for Poster Preparation

Posters must be brought to the Conference by the presenting author and should not be mailed in advance. The required dimensions are A0 or 90 cm (width) by 140 cm (height). At the top of poster, please provide the title of the paper, names of the authors and their affiliations, all in bold lettering of about 2.5 to 3 cm size. Artwork and lettering should be large and clear enough so that the poster is readable from a distance of 1.5 m.

Poster Viewing

Participants will view posters during poster sessions, coffee and lunch breaks. Presenters are encouraging to be at their posters during coffee breaks, but this is not mandatory.
