General Information

ESPE aims at a high profile in the scientific and ethical content of the meeting. It is the author(s) responsibility to ensure the scientific and ethical aspects of the abstract(s) comply with ESPE standards.

Disclosure of conflict of interest

All abstract presenters (invited and abstract submitters) must declare any potential conflict of interest on the abstract submission link. Invited speakers and presenters of free communications will also have to incorporate a disclosure slide in their presentation (as slide number two). Disclosure is mandatory for all presenters, whether they have a conflict of interest to disclose or not.

Review Process

Abstracts are evaluated by 4 or more referees. An adjustment is made to avoid tilting the balance with generous or harsh referees and outlier scores are eliminated, giving each abstract a mark allowing their ranking. Ranked abstract are then selected by the POC for free communications or poster presentation. During this process, nor referees nor the POC have access to names of authors and/or centres. The decisions made by the POC are final. Abstracts are not eligible if already presented at an international meeting or would be published prior to the ESPE meeting.
