Midwest SPR is committed to presenting the broadest possible range of high-quality work at the 2021 Scientific Meeting.
Historically, abstracts accepted for presentation are hypothesis-driven new work. Abstracts rarely accepted for presentation include open-label drug trials, single case reports, highly speculative accounts of clinical experience, and op-ed accounts of personal experience. Interim results from an ongoing clinical trial will not be accepted for presentation unless the study has been prematurely closed for efficacy, lack of efficacy, or issues of safety. The submission of multiple, similar abstracts from the same investigator(s) or laboratory are strongly discouraged.
(coming soon) (coming soon)General Submission Policies
Abstract Selection Process
Abstracts of superior quality will be selected for presentation and will be graded based on quality of scientific merit/importance, research, design, data analysis and presentation. The submission of abstracts without data due to incomplete investigations or analyses will be evaluated only on the basis of the information provided.
Reviewer scores and comments are confidential and are not available to anyone (including authors) outside of the review process. The decision of the Program Committee to accept or decline an abstract is final. The decision on which format the abstract will be presented is also the decision of the Program Committee.
Notification of Receipt and Acceptance
Notification of receipt will be automatically emailed to the contact author upon submission of the abstract. Notification of abstract acceptance status will be emailed to the contact author listed on the abstract.
Note that the security firewall at some institutions may block communications from Midwest SPR. You can log into your Midwest SPR abstract account at any point to check for emails and invitations to present.
Award Consideration and Selection
Midwest SPR announces several awards during the meeting, based on abstracts accepted for presentation. There is no separate award submission process.
Publication of Abstracts
All abstracts (excluding tables and figures) accepted for presentation will be viewable in the mobile app. Full abstracts will be made available on the Midwest SPR website.
Attendance at the Midwest SPR Scientific Meeting
All presenters of accepted abstracts, either for platform or poster presentations, must register to attend the meeting. If the presenting author is unable to attend, another co-author named in the abstract may be designated to present, provided the change is communicated to Midwest SPR by Oct. 1, 2021.
