List of abstracts presentation - approved for poster session

​

​

Poster instructions

 

Posters must be in English.

​

  • They must be 90 cm width by 120 cm height.

  • Please make sure you include the following information in the right upper corner:

  • Category of 1st author (undergrad, master, PhD, post-doc) 

  • If it is a "Projects" poster, please include this information in the right upper corner.

 

This year, we will select the best posters according to a combination of scores that includes the grades you already received from reviewers and the new grades you will receive during your presentation. We encourage the first authors to present their work; otherwise, the poster will not enter the competition. The great challenge will be to present your study to a broad audience, meaning you have to make an effort to impress reviewers from different areas of expertise. Be creative to explain your rationale/background, methods, results and conclusions to scientists from different areas!!

 

 

 

Slides instructions

​

Slides must be in English.

​

  • The title text font must be in Arial (32pt) or Times New Roman (40pt);

  • The content text font must be in Arial (24pt) or Times New Roman (30pt);

  • For slides with light backgrounds, dark letters are recommended;

  • For video slides, we recommend using the full screen.

  • If the first author cannot present the slides, we will accept a co-author from the same category. If this is not possible, please let us know.

 

Your presentation is expected to last 7 min, with 3min for questions. Please, make your presentation with ten slides (maximum 12) and send to the organization (lilianc@hc.unicamp.br) until March 24th

  • References must be cited in the text by numbers enclosed in square brackets (e.g., [1])

  • References’ format must be: 

    • if the reference has a DOI, just cite the first author, followed by "et al." (if there are more authors), followed by the DOI, as in: [1] Surname AB et al., doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2009.10.003

    • otherwise, cite the first author, followed by "et al." (if there are more authors), followed by the abbreviated journal name (do not write the title of the paper), followed directly by the volume, issue, pages, and year, as in: [1] Surname AB et al., Journal 33(5): 1014-1018, 2010

  • Tables and/or Figures: You can include two elements (Tables and/or Figures). Ensure your figure/table is clear, with an appropriate font size to be visible. Avoid complex graphics, simple line or bar graphs are most appropriate (all figures will be printed in black/white). Certify the font size is adequately large on each axis to be visible.
    Use the print preview tool available in any word-processing software to check a printed version of the abstract before submitting it. Be sure the 2 figures/graphs fit in one page, along with the text abstract (see the template with example).
    The BRAINN logo must be at the upper left corner and the congress name, date and place at the top right corner (see template).

  • They must fit in a single A4 sheet.

  • Abstracts not following the required format will not be accepted.

  • Proofread abstracts carefully to avoid errors before submission. If accepted, your abstract will be printed as submitted, and no changes will be allowed.

 

​

Avoid common mistakes:
•    Typographical errors.
•    Excessive use of abbreviations. All abbreviations should be defined. Use generic, not commercial, names for all therapeutic agents.
•    Failure to include identifiable sections such as Introduction, Objective, Methods, Results, Discussion / Conclusions.
•    Failure to state a conclusion. We encourage a final sentence that says: “In conclusion …”.
•    Failure to state sample size.
•    Do not include the names or personal information of any patient participating in the study or trial.
•    Avoid duplicative work.


Remember: Make sure your abstract is clear, concise, and follows all rules. Show your abstract to a colleague prior to submission and modify it accordingly. A fresh review will help to spot any errors and will ensure the final product is ready for submission. 
Abstracts not following the required format will not be accepted. 
You can re-enter the submission system at any time to view and edit your abstract until the deadline. No changes will be allowed after the submission deadline. You are welcome to present an updated poster/slide onsite, as long as it does not change the main idea of the submitted work.
