SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

  • All accepted presenters will be required to register for the conference by March 10, 2025.

  • Only unpublished papers should be submitted. Published papers will NOT be accepted.

  • Individuals can only serve as a presenting author twice at maximum, but may submit more than two abstracts for review only if each addresses a different research. There are no restrictions as co-authors.

  • PAS unfortunately is unable to accommodate schedule requests; if your paper is accepted, it could be scheduled any time during the conference.

  • Accepted presenters may be called on to be discussants or chairs for sessions. Presenters interested in serving as discussants or chairs may also indicate their interest in their submission form.

  • There will be no travel awards for PAS 2026.

Presenting authors need to select topics for the submitted abstract. Please consider submitting your abstract even if you believe it does not fit precisely into one of the options available. Abstracts will be reviewed and an abstract’s topical area may be adjusted to fit similar abstracts together for presentation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Brief Abstract Requirements

The abstract text should be written in English and is limited to 150 words (excluding authors’ information).

Extended Abstract Requirements

The abstract text should be written in English and is limited to 2-4 pages (excluding authors’ information).
Each abstract should be formatted using the headings Background and Objectives, Methods, Results, Conclusion and Funding Sources.

  • Background and Objectives: Describe the scientific context, objectives, and hypothesis.

  • Methods: Describe precisely the research design, interventions (if any) and specific methods used for analysis.

  • Results: Report the most important findings. Abstracts that do not report results are welcomed, but less likely to be accepted, except for study protocol abstracts.

  • Conclusions: Summarize the main results of the study and present the potential implications on population.

  • Funding Sources: Funding sources for the research presented in the abstract should be listed.

The use of abbreviations is acceptable, but the full name should appear at the first mention.

Extended abstracts should be uploaded in PDF format.
