FAQs for Reproductive Health 2013 Abstracts
Q: I have submitted an abstract to a different conference and it has been accepted for an oral or poster presentation. Can I still submit to Reproductive Health 2013?
A: Yes.
Q: If my abstract is accepted, where and when will it be published?
A: All accepted abstracts will be published in the print and online versions of the August 2013 edition of Contraception. Authors may publish the manuscript anywhere they wish to, as long as the publication date is after the September 2013 meeting.
Q: If my abstract is accepted, where will it be presented? What will I be expected to do?
A: Abstracts chosen for presentation will be featured at Reproductive Health 2013 in Denver, CO from September 19-21, 2013. A representative of your abstract must attend the conference. Oral presenters will be required to present during their assigned time slot. Poster presenters will be required to be available to discuss their posters during a 1.5 hour and a 1 hour time slot during the meeting.
Q: If my abstract is accepted, will I be able to make changes to the content prior to submission for publication?
A: No. If your abstract is selected, you will receive an e-mail with your abstract’s title, authors’ names, and institution. You will be asked to verify that the information is correct, but will not have an opportunity to change the content of the abstract. Changes that are submitted will not be incorporated.
Q: Can tables, graphs, and/or charts be included in the abstract?
A: No. Tables, graphs, and/or charts cannot be included in your abstract submission.
Q: What is the abstract word count?
A: There is a limit of 350 words. Authors must conduct a word count for the entire abstract before completing the online submission to be sure the entire abstract (excluding headings, authors, and the title) is under 350 words. This is a strict cutoff and abstracts over the 350 word count will be disqualified and not eligible for committee review.
Q: What is the policy on “late breaking” abstracts?
A: The deadline for abstract submission is February 8th. Any “late breaking” research may be addressed during a “Late Breaking Reproductive Health Updates” session at the conference, but this is not guaranteed and is typically unrelated to abstracts.
Q: Is it okay to submit research-based abstracts that were funded by corporate entities?
A: Yes. Research funded with commercial grant support will be considered.
Q: Why am I asked about student, fellow, or resident status
A: Awards are given annually for outstanding poster abstracts. Only students, residents, and fellows are eligible for certain awards.
Q: Is there a discounted registration price for people presenting abstracts?
A: No. There is not a discount specifically provided to attendees presenting abstracts. However, discounts are available for members of ARHP. Discounts are also offered for students.
