The ESE Research Committee is responsible for evaluating and selecting abstracts for presentation in the Original Scientific Research Poster section.
PLEASE NOTE: THE ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ABSTRACTS WILL BE EVALUATED ONLY ONCE.
After the initial submission deadline, there will be no opportunity to modify abstracts or resubmit for further consideration. If the abstract does not comply with the guidance, is poorly written or information is missing, it will be rejected and authors offered the opportunity to be included in the General Endodontic Poster section.
Abstract format: Abstracts must NOT contain figures, tables, photos or illustrations. Abstracts must be approximately 300 words long and include the following sections:
- Aim – e.g. To evaluate, to analyse …
- Methodology – a concise description of the experimental design, and materials and methods along with statistical tests
- Results - results and statistical analysis
- Conclusions – in brief and related to the results without speculation
- Acknowledgements and/ or Funding source – if applicable
Original Scientific Research Prize Competition:
A limited number of high-quality submissions will be selected by the ESE Research Committee for oral presentation in an Original Scientific Poster Prize competition. Following the review process, invited authors will be given the opportunity to present their work as an oral presentation. Oral presentations will take place on Thursday 7th September 2023 between 9:45 and 11:40 (Hall 5) and will be limited to 10 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion. The best presentation will be awarded a prize of €250.
Rejection:
Abstracts rejected from the Original Scientific Research Poster subcategory will be given the opportunity to be included in the General Endodontic Poster section. Abstracts may be rejected for the following reasons:
- The abstract is incomplete or poorly organized;
- Information is missing (objective, methods, results – data and statistical analysis, conclusions);
- The subject is not significant;
- The abstract is not original or was already presented, or published;
- Well-defined criteria are not given for evaluation of variables;
- Poor choice of controls or no controls reported;
- The method of obtaining data is not appropriate to the stated problem;
- The conclusions are not supported by the results.
Abstracts accepted and presented as posters in the Original Scientific Research section are published in the International Endodontics Journal and become part of the scientific literature. The committee reserves the right to move the abstract to another Topic other than the one selected by the author. The presenter may withdraw the abstract at any time by emailing esehelsinki2023.abstracts@aimgroup.eu
