Information about contents and form of your abstract
The ePosters will be published at the homepage. For this reason it is absolutely necessary that the abstract includes all requested information.
- As the total number of contributions is limited, the program committee asks for your understanding that the maximum number of authorships per person is limited to three.
- Please indicate if the first author is not the presenting speaker.
- The review committee shall reserve the right to assign accepted abstracts to Free Paper sessions according to the requirements and subject areas.
- Only previously unpublished results should be submitted
- Authors will be notified about acceptance/rejection of their submission by mid-May 2023 at the latest.
- The authors bear the responsibility for the clarification of possible copyrights of third parties regarding the contents of the abstract. Thus, the authors guarntee that there are no third party rights on all figures, tables, etc. that would prevent publication.
- In addition, the abstract submitter has the consent of all named individuals to submit or publish personal data (name, clinic, address, email address).
Please understand that the abstract will be published as submitted. Corrections may not be made hereafter. DOC reserves the right to correct erroneous abstracts without prior notification to the author. The committees inform that abstracts that are not in compliance with the stated regulations will be rejected.
The submitting author transfers the non-exclusive and unlimited right of further use of the submitted contents for whichever purpose. This does however not restrict subsequent further personal use.
The program committee points out that any abstract which does not follow these instructions must be rejected.
Submission of an abstract to DOC2024 includes a full copyright transfer by all authors to DOC. The authors agree that no royalties can be claimed from subsequent distribution or other use of their contribution.
Disclosure of financial interests for submissions of abstracts to DOC annual meetings and for DOC related publications – oral presentations and written papers, publications.
DOC expects the declaration of economic and financial interest from every author / speaker. We are convinced that it is necessary to disclose financial interest. An economic linkage itself does not imply a bias of the author. The audience will have the opportunity to decide whether a conflict of interests has an influence on the quality of the specific piece of scientific work.
For this purpose, you will be asked during the abstract submission to disclose any financial/economic linkages. This is done with the parameters shown below:
| Consultant (B): | Commercial payment or support in the last three years in the form of research funds or material in equipment, process or products presented. * |
| Employee (E): | Financial interest in product marketing (employee of the product manufacturer)* |
| Investor product(I): | Financial interest in a company or companies supplying equipment, process or presented (e.g. shareholdings, share ownership etc.).* |
| Employee (M): | Financial interest in product marketing (employee of the product manufacturer).* |
| Product speaker’s (P): | Financial interest in equipment, described procedure or described product (e.g. allowance, travel expense, research funds, grants etc.)* |
| None (K): | No financial interest, no commercial support in the case of the work presented. |
* Name of the company required.
At the beginning of each presentation, the title of the presentation, the name of the speaker and the status of commercial interest as well as the name of the company (according to the above given classification) will shortly be made visible on the main screen.
