summarize concisely a new research study or a review of previously published research to draw new conclusions on a topic. </li> <li>After acceptance of your abstract and invitation to extend it (optional not obligatory, i.e. you only need to extend your abstract if you wish to publish your work in the conference proceedings), your conference paper (extended abstract) should be at least 2500 words long (max. 4000 words) and include at least four references to recent research (published within the last five years). This proceedings paper will be peer reviewed after it has been checked for plagiarism using <a href="http://www.ithenticate.com/" target="_blank">iThenticate</a> software. If a plagiarism content is observed by the conference proceedings editors (see <a href="index.php?p=special-issue">Publications</a> and <a href="index.php?p=committees">Scientific Committee</a>), you will be asked to rewrite and resubmit it. If the resubmitted version is still more than 20% plagiarized, it will be rejected. </li> <li> We suggest taking this <a href="https://www.springernature.com/gp/editors/editor-courses/plagiarism#c18669950?utm_source=sn&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=RMarketing&utm_campaign=AEXS_4_SE01_GL_Editor_Tutorials_sn" target="_blank">Course on Plagiarism</a> to acquire useful skills in preventing plagiarism. This course, consisting of four modules, is free and offers a thorough introduction to the topic. </li> <li> To process your conference paper (extended abstract) on time and to ease the reviewer's tasks, we recommend you use free editing services such as <a href="https://www.grammarly.com/" target="_blank">Grammarly</a>. That way, the reviewers could concentrate on the science, not editing typos. This will also help us to publish the proceeding books much faster. </li> <li>After peer review and if the conference paper is accepted by the editors, you will be asked to revise and correct it. After resubmission of the revised version, the editors will re-check the paper for quality and plagiarism and, if accepted, the corresponding author will be requested to sign Springer’s Consent-to-Publish form, prerequisite for publication in the conference proceedings. Please note that there may be more than one round of peer review (see <a href="index.php?p=important-dates">Important Dates</a>). </li> <li>After evaluating all presentations during the conference and taking into account the comments of the reviewers and editors during the pre-conference evaluation process, the authors of the best papers will be invited after the conference to submit an extended version (8000 to 12000 words) of their conference papers for publication in a special issue of one of our partner journals (see <a href="index.php?p=special-issue">Publications</a>). Publishing your short paper in the conference proceedings does not prevent you from submitting the full version of the same work to one of our partner journals after the conference. </li> <li>Your proceedings (short) paper must be improved based on the conference review process and on the discussion at the conference. At least 60% of the material in the journal paper (full version) should be new and the exposition improved. In general, conference papers are based on preliminary results which are open for discussion. However, journal articles should contain finished research results with an in-depth discussion and clear conclusions. </li> <li>Authors of short papers accepted for publication in the proceedings and who do not plan to attend the conference or present online will not be invited to submit to the special issues. </li> <li>It will be possible to present accepted studies online without attending the conference in person. Authors can now submit their abstract and decide later whether they want to attend and present to the audience directly or simply present online. More details on the “online presentation” feature will be provided after notification of acceptances (see <a href="index.php?p=important-dates">Important Dates</a>). </li> </ul> </div> <h3 class="title-section accordiant-section">How to prepare your abstract (max. 350 words)</h3> <div class="body-section"> <ul> <li>Abstracts (max. 350 words) should be covered by one or more of the <a href="index.php?p=tracks">Conference Tracks</a>. </li> <li>Please note the strict deadline for submissions (see <a href="index.php?p=program">Important Dates</a>). </li> <li>The abstract should be written in English and prepared using the <a href="source/files/Template_Word_Abstract_MedGU.docx?v=1" target="_blank">MedGU Abstract Template</a>. </li> <li>Figures and tables are not acceptable in the abstract. </li> <li>All abstracts will be evaluated by the track chairs and members of the <a href="index.php?p=committees">Scientific Committee</a>. </li> <li>Authors of accepted abstracts will present their studies orally in-person or virtually (during a PPT presentation of 12 min, followed by a 3-min Q&A). </li> <li>Templates for the PPT presentations will be sent to the authors after notification of acceptance (see <a href="index.php?p=program">Important Dates</a>). </li> <li>At least one author of each accepted abstract must register before the registration deadline to warrant inclusion in the final conference program (for more details, see <a href="index.php?p=registration">Registration</a>). </li> <li>Authors of accepted abstracts will also be invited to prepare a short paper (extended abstract) for publication in the conference proceedings by Springer (in <a href="https://www.springer.com/series/15883" target="_blank">ASTI series</a>, indexed in Scopus).

in-person or online (see <a href="index.php?p=registration">Registration</a>). </li> <li>It is not necessary to extend your accepted abstract (for publication in the conference proceedings by Springer) to be able to attend and present your work at the conference. </li> <li>You do not need to publish in the conference proceedings but you do need to attend and present your work (in person or
