2020 Abstract Guidelines

ASPAE 2020 welcomes the submission of abstracts for original contribution to the field. All abstracts submitted will go through a blind, peer-review process carried out by an international review panel.

Each abstract will be reviewed by at least two reviewers and the final selection of abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Abstract Review Committee.

Guidelines

  • The deadline for abstract submission is midnight West Africa Time (WAT) on January 27th, 2020. Abstracts will not be accepted after this date.
  • All abstracts must be written in English.
  • All abstracts must be submitted to aspae2019@yahoo.com
  • The text should not exceed 2500 characters including spaces. One table or figure can be inserted allowing 500 characters per table/figure.

The text of the abstract should briefly state:

  1. Objectives: Indicate the purpose of the research/ review article/case series or the hypothesis that was tested.
  2. Methods: Include the setting for the study, the subjects, the diagnosis or intervention, and the type of statistical analysis. If references are needed, they should be provided in the text.
  3. Results: Present as clearly as possible the outcome of the research/review article/case series/ research and after significance if appropriate
  4. Conclusions: Briefly discuss the data and emphasize the significance of the results. All abstracts should disclose primary findings and avoid, whenever possible, promissory statements such as “experiments are in progress “or “results will be discussed“.
