Abstract Submission Guidelines

Title of Abstract

• No identifying features such as names of hospitals, medical schools, or cities may be listed in the title or text of the abstract.
• Abstracts previously presented at a national/international meeting may be submitted to SVIN. Please cite the meeting, location, and date of the previous presentation. Abstracts CANNOT be previously published in a manuscript.
• The title cannot be longer than 15 words but should clearly indicate the nature of the study. Capitalize the first letter of each word within the title.

Abstract Body

• No identifying features such as names of hospitals, medical schools, cities or patients may be listed in the title or text of the abstract. Do NOT include the names of any of the authors. The names of authors and their affiliations (institutions) will be submitted online during the process.
• Abstracts should state clearly and briefly the purpose, methods, results and conclusions of the work. There is a strict 500-word limit for the abstract body; each graphic or table counts as 100 words. Please format abstracts using the following headings:
  • Introduction/Purpose: Clearly state the purpose of the study.
  • Materials/Methods: Describe the design of the study clearly.
  • Results: Present your results in a logical sequence.
  • Conclusion: Emphasize new and important aspects of the study and conclusions that are drawn from your results.

SVIN Abstract Withdrawal Policy

It is SVIN’s expectation that all accepted abstracts will, under all usual circumstances, be presented at the meeting. If the presenting author is unable to present an abstract, a co-author is eligible to present on their behalf. Failure to present an accepted abstract may cause the author(s) to be ineligible for abstract submission at next year’s annual meeting.

To request withdrawal of an abstract prior to the submission deadline, please withdraw directly in the system.

Following the submission deadline, all withdrawal requests must be requested in writing to the SVIN Speaker Team at abstracts@svin.org. The final date to request a withdrawal will be October 5, 2026.
