GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING A POSTER ABSTRACT
DEADLINE – 20 January 2016
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
 All abstracts should be submitted as a Word document attachment BY EMAIL to siu@bad.org.uk and be
marked ‘STOUGHTON POSTER’ in the subject line.
 The abstract must fit within the abstract template.
 Do not use a font size smaller than 10.
 Do not exceed the word limit of 400 words.
 Within your email you must indicate clearly your full name, address, contact email, telephone and fax
numbers.
ABSTRACT FORMAT
 Only the title of the abstract should be typed in BOLD (do not use ALL CAPS).
 Authors’ names (initials first), separated by commas should follow in lowercase and not in bold. The
presenter’s name only should be underlined.
 Address(es) should be separated by semi-colons, have initial capital letters only and include department,
university/institute and city. Where there is more than one address, authors’ affiliations should be denoted
by abbreviations and numerical superscripts.
 The body of the abstract should include a statement outlining the aim of the study, the methods used, a
factual summary of the results with appropriate statistical information and a conclusion. Statements such as
“results will be discussed” are unacceptable.
 Do not use subheadings such as “Methods”. Start each paragraph with an indentation of three spaces
without any line space between paragraphs. Abbreviations should not be used without first being
expressed in full. Essential references up to two in number must be included in the body of the abstract.
 Declaration of financial interest: For the proper evaluation of a presentation, it is important that any factors
that may influence the objectivity of the presenter are known by the audience. You are therefore required to
reveal the source of any commercial funding for the work described in the abstract. This information must
be given within the abstract and will therefore be published if it is accepted for presentation.
