Basic Research Preparing Your Abstract Submission For a good all-around resource for preparing to submit abstracts or posters, please visit: American College of Physician’s Guide to Preparing for the Abstract Competition. Abstract Text: 350-word maximum excluding title, authors, and affiliations. Judging Criteria Judges will assess each exhibit on multiple criteria established by the SRE Committee consistent with generally accepted standards for competitive scientific research displays, including presentation (organization/layout), appropriate introduction/background, clear description of methods, data and analysis, thoughtful discussion and overall clarity of thought. They will judge case presentations on a unique set of weighted criteria. Displays should be readily understood with or without the author present. The subject matter should be current and of interest to practicing clinicians. Although the committee encourages prospective studies, subject matter need not be limited to new research. Whenever possible the exhibit should promote osteopathic principles as they relate to the clinical situation or scientific aspect of the display. The concept of a research exhibit by definition means the display will be graphically interesting. MaterialsMOA provides display boards and "T" pins for hanging. The following guidelines are offered to assist you with a successful presentation: Content and Text Graphics SRE exhibitors shall assume full responsibility for damage and shall indemnify and hold harmless the MOA, and the convention venue from all liability, which may ensue from any cause whatsoever.
