Instructions for preparing and submitting abstract
 
Scientific sessions that are scheduled during the III Latin American Congress of Artificial Organs and Biomaterials will be an excellent opportunity to share information and experiences. For that reason, all the accepted papers for oral or poster presentation will appear in the CD-ROM Proceedings that will be available during the congress. 

Electronic submission:

The abstracts  must be prepared following the format (template) and should cover different aspects in research and development, production and evaluation of artificial organs and biomaterials.

General criteria for preparing the abstract: 

  • Documents must be in a format compatible to MSWORD version 6.0 or later (extensions .RTF or .DOC). The template is already availible for download.
  • Save your document in a file with a name that one would be able to identify its author. Please, be sure that your document does not contain virus by using an anti-virus program. 
  • The number of page is limited to 01 (one) and should include: Objectives, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusions, References and Illustrations (Figures and Tables). Since the publication will be in electronic format, all illustrations should be either in black & white or in colour. Authors are asked to maintain the abstracts file size bellow two (2) Megabytes.
  • Abstracts which do not follow these criteria, won’t be accepted.
  • Once the Abstract has been submitted, it cannot be changed. 
  • Do NOT submit multiple copies of the same Abstract.

Oral Presentation

Authors will have 15 minutes (plus 5 minutes for discussion) for oral presentation. The nature of the simultaneous session formats makes it imperative that all participants strictly observe the time schedule. 

Audiovisual Facilities

1. Overhead projector 
2. Slide projectors.
3.
Data-show. 

Poster presentation guidelines: 

The Organising Committee would like to suggest some basic guidelines:

  • One (1) poster per accepted paper 
  • The total space for the poster display is 1.20 m height x 0.90 m width 
  • Each poster must have a header containing the title of poster, authors, affiliation and addresses 
  • Print the paper number on the upper right hand corner of the header 
  • Each section in the poster should be clearly marked with a title. 
  • All tables and figures should have a caption and the axis of graphs must be clearly labelled. 
  • Information ant dates to display posters will be given later. Posters sessions allow you to present your abstract in a concise way so the visual aspect is very important. For this reason the poster has to explain itself and has to show the ideas and conclusions without the authors presence.
