1Guidelines for Abstract Submission to the International Nursing Research Conference:

Only abstracts of research studies with results can be submitted. These results must have been obtained and analyzed by the deadline for abstract submission. Exceptionally, the Scientific Committee considers the option that papers submitted to the Undergraduate Student’s Corner and the Postgraduate Student’s Corner (EIR or Master’s) may not have a section on results and discussion.

The presentation modalities are the following ones:

1. Oral presentation.
2. Oral Brief presntation.
3. Virtual (Oral).
4. Poster.
5. Student’s corner (Degree and 2nd Cycle). Poster mode.

In the Student’s Corner modality, all authors must be students on the closing date for the submission of student papers. This status must be justified.

*NOTE: For the International Doctoral Students Workshop, see the regulations applicable to this day in the corresponding document.

Structure of the abstract:

The abstracts should be structured in the following sections:

1. Objetive/s.
2. Method.
3. Results.
4. Discussion, which should include what the implications are for practice.

For systematic reviews, the abstract’s content should be structured as follows:

1. Review Question / Objectives.
2. Inclusion and exclusion criteria for studies.
3. Search plan and strategy.
4. Methods for selecting studies and quality assessment of selected studies.
5. Methods for extracting and synthesising data from the review.
6. Results.
7. Discussion.

As abstract evaluation is done anonymously, personal details of the author(s) should not appear in the text; otherwise, they will automatically be excluded.

The abstract text must not exceed 3300 characters (spaces included), tables and graphs are not allowed. The maximum length for the title is 120 characters (spaces included).

All accepted abstracts are eligible for the prize in the category in which they have been accepted, except those whose author had explicitly opted out.

Speakers of oral communications:

The first author in the abstract submission is assumed to be the speaker, unless specified otherwise. Speaker changes must be signed by the outgoing speaker and accepted by the Scientific Committee.

For the accepted paper to be presented, the person listed as speaker must be correctly registered and have paid the registration fees.

All other papers will be removed from the program and the final version of the Book of Abstracts.

2Considerations to be taken into account for the International Nursing Research Conference:

When submitting your abstract it is important to consider the following:

• Abstracts on care research  indexed in any of the national or international databases, or are published in open access, will not be accepted for evaluation.
• The Scientific Committee reserves the right to reject abstracts that considers plagiarism or redundant publication, because they have been presented in previous meetings or in other scientific dissemination events. Therefore, with regard to abstracts published in other congresses, since originality must prevail over dissemination, authors will always be asked to specify whether the paper has been presented previously and in which forum. If the abstract is accepted, the organization will inform the authors that it cannot be published in the book of papers with ISBN.
• Please note that after the deadline for abstract submission NO changes will be accepted regarding authorship and content and that the certificate will list the authors in the same order and format as the abstract submitted.
• All papers whosespeaker has not registered (including payment) by 10th October (20:00 GMT) will be withdrawn from the conference programe.
• For the purposes of this scientific event, the Scientific Committee considers that literature reviews are a preliminary and necessary step in the process of a research work, but do not in themselves constitute research projects with results and implications for clinical practice, and therefore are not accepted for presentation.
