Abstract calling

Abstract will be opened from 1st June 2022 till end of July 2022

Purpose of this information

This document is designed to help you prepare an abstract that meets the criteria for FIP congresses. It is intended to be read alongside the call for abstracts, which specifies the congress topic areas, and applies to abstracts for oral presentations and posters.

What is an abstract?

An abstract is a short statement that gives the reader a comprehensive yet concise understanding of your work. Your work could be research, such as a study or clinical trial, or a new or unique service, programme, theory or resource.

An abstract is an opportunity to make your work known, inform practice and/or education, and to establish connections with others in your field of interest. It should tell readers what you are going to present and interest them in learning more about your work — they may decide to attend your presentation, visit your poster or contact you based on it.

Who is your audience?

Your abstract will have difference audiences:

·          Congress delegates (pharmacists, pharmaceutical scientists, students, educators, policy-makers and researchers) use abstracts to select which sessions to attend.

·          Reviewers  will assess the quality of your abstract and recommend its acceptance (and whether the work should be presented orally or as a poster) or rejection.

·          Journal editors  use abstracts to look for papers to encourage for publication.

·          People who can’t attend  the congress access abstracts online.

Abstract content and structure

Required subheadings

Your abstract should contain information under the following  subheadings :

·          Title

·          Background information  (Why is your work important? Does it fill any gaps in knowledge or research? What is the context?)

·          Purpose  (What are the objectives? You may include a short statement of your hypothesis.)

·          Method  (Explain your methods, such as study design. What was done, by whom, how and where? What measurements were taken and how were the data managed?)

·          Results  (What did you find, discover or achieve? Not just in subjective terms, but also in the form of data. How significant were your findings?)

·          Conclusion  (What were your overall findings? What do they mean? How could the methods be improved? Is this work part of a bigger piece of research or strategy? What are the suggestions for future work?)

·          Topic area  (Refer to the areas listed in the call for abstracts and select the most appropriate so that the congress organisers can place your abstract in the appropriate session.)
