Process

Abstracts will undergo a peer-review process. The Abstract Review Committee will assess each abstract based on its adherence to format, scientific merit, and alignment with the overall conference themes. Authors of abstracts selected for presentation will be contacted via email by in mid-November and invited to present either a poster or oral presentation at the meeting.

All selected abstracts will be made available to the Conference participants in electronic format, on the conference website.

Additionally, abstracts that are confirmed for presentation in mid-November will be published in the Canadian Liver Journal or Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology respectively.

Mitigation of Bias

  1. Presentations must present a balanced view of the available therapeutic options. Brand names of pharmaceuticals and trade names of medical devices should not be used in the title or body of the abstract. Use of generic names will contribute to impartiality.
  2. The Abstract Review Committee reserves the right to change the abstract if they feel that the use of a trade name may be mistaken for commercial propaganda and may replace proprietary names with generic names. In addition, logos or images of products that include a trade name or representing a commercial interest will be removed prior to presentation and publication.

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest

The presenting authors of abstracts selected for oral presentation will be required to complete and submit a Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest form after they are invited to present. Disclosures are due on or before the RSVP deadline.

Please use the official online abstract submission form only.

  1. Abstracts must be submitted electronically using the official online submission form.
