1. General Rules

• All abstracts will be collected via the online abstract submission system. Abstracts must be prepared in English.

2. Scientific Content and Ethical Rules

While preparing abstracts, it is important to ensure that they are original and comprehensive in terms of subject and content. In the abstract, the purpose of the study and the methods used should be briefly stated, the findings should be summarized with sufficient numerical detail, and the conclusion should be explained within the framework of the findings presented. 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. Abstracts are evaluated and scored by the scientific committee in a blind manner (names of the institution and the author are covered).
