Please read the submission rules before submitting an abstract.

·         Abstracts must be original and must not be or have been published, nor presented at any international meeting, prior to TMUISS 2019. If you submit a manuscript on your work before presentation at TMUISS 2019, you should agree with the journal editor that the manuscript will not be released online prior to the date of presentation.

·         The Committee will endeavour to schedule abstracts according to authors' preferences but reserves the right to decide on the final form of presentation.

·         The presenting author is expected to attend the Conference and present their abstract. Presenting authors of abstracts must be registered participants. The same person may serve as presenting author on up to 3 abstracts.

·         The presenting author is required to ensure that all co-authors are aware of the content of the abstract before submission to the Secretariat.

·         With the exception of placeholder abstracts for late breaking trials, only abstracts with results will be accepted for review. 

·         Results may be preliminary, and the final results can be updated in the presentation or poster.

·         Late breaking clinical trials that are not yet ready to report can be submitted to the late breaking trials system with a deadline of 19 April 2019. If you anticipate having such a trial, you are encouraged to submit a placeholder abstract to the regular abstract system now.

·         All abstracts must be submitted and presented in clear English with accurate grammar and spelling of a quality suitable for publication. If you need help, please arrange for the review of your abstract by a colleague who is a native English speaker, by a university scientific publications office (or other similar facility) or by a copy editor, prior to submission.
