Submission of Abstracts

Papers and posters submitted for presentation at the ESLA congress should not have been previously published as a complete paper in an international journal. New reports in the field of speech and language therapy are welcome for presentation but reports previously published as an abstract or as a full paper in a national journal or presented previously at a national meeting are also permissible.

‍

Abstract Submission Portal

All abstracts should be submitted via the online platform. Abstracts sent by e-mail or other means will not be considered.

The submitting author of the abstract must be the presenting author but does not have to be the first author. Please verify if you filled in the submitting author's name and e-mail address correctly – these contacts will serve for further correspondence with the author(s). All correspondence concerning the abstract will be sent to submitting author’s e-mail address.

The abstract submission portal will take you through the process of submitting your abstract. The abstract submission form is very straightforward, but some explanatory notes are also given below the fields to be filled in.

Guidelines

The following guidelines are provided to assist you in submitting your abstract. Please follow these instructions when completing the abstract form. Abstracts can only be submitted online.

‍

Abstracts or papers and posters that report on scientific work, new clinical and practical developments and perspectives, but also case reports that demonstrate important insights for clinicians are eligible for acceptance.

‍

The abstract should be structured as follows:

• Background

• Aim / Objectives

• Methods

• Results

• Conclusions / take home message

• Keywords

‍

Abstracts must be a maximum of 300 words (not including presenter names and titles).

‍

There is a limit of two presentations (oral, poster or workshop) for a single presenter. This however does not exclude the opportunity to be a co-author for an unlimited number of abstracts.
