Rules of Submission

ASiT takes a serious view of Research Governance. The material contained within a submitted paper must not have been previously published or presented at any major meeting.

Previous presentation at hospital, medical school, local or regional meetings is acceptable provided the abstract has not previously been published following this.

Please ensure that the abstract has been seen and agreed by all of the named authors before submission. All authors have a responsibility to ensure that the data submitted is accurate, is not extrapolated and fairly represents the presentation to be given at the Association’s Annual Meeting.

General advice about authorship, conflicts of interest, redundant publication and patient confidentiality in medical publishing can be found on the British Medical Journal website at http://bmj.com/advice.

Commercial support and industry involvement must be clearly stated.

1. Each author may only submit a maximum of 2 abstracts for consideration.
