Guidelines for Submission

1. General Rules

All abstracts will be collected online via bildirim.org. Abstracts must be prepared in Turkish and English. When each abstract is uploaded to the system, the system will assign an abstract number. You are kindly requested to use this abstract number in your future communications. At least one of the authors of accepted abstracts must attend the congress. Abstracts of all accepted papers will be included in the congress e-book. A conflict of interest statement must be included during the presentation of the accepted abstract (after the title slide in presentations, as a footnote in posters).

It is important to pay attention to scientific language and spelling rules. It is an absolute prerequisite to comply with ethical rules, especially in clinical studies and animal studies.
