  There is no limit in the number of authors per abstract.
  Although abstracts based on data which have previously been published can be accepted (especially from recently published), please note that writing must differ from the one used in those works, so as to avoid violation of the rights of the copyright holder of such an abstract.

• All submissions must be done using the conference submission tool
  Abstracts must be submitted only once. If you are unable to submit the abstract using the conference submission tool, or if you are not sure about the successful submission of the abstract, please contact the conference secretariat at info@emr2012.org

• There can be up to two presenting authors for each abstract. Correspondence will be made with the presenting author(s).

• The presenting author(s) will be notified about the successful submission of the abstract immediately after submission. In the event that such notification was not received, please contact the conference secretariat at info@emr2012.org

• Notification of abstract acceptance/rejection will be communicated to the presenting author(s) about 7-10 days after submission.

• If an already submitted abstract has to be changed / corrected, the new version must be sent by email (as an attached file) to info@emr2012.org and the old abstract will be replaced with the new one.

• As there are many more abstracts submitted for oral presentations than available slots within the program, the Scientific Advisory Committee will select the most relevant abstracts to be presented orally at the Conference. This decision will be communicated as soon as possible, and in any case by 7 May 2012 at the latest. Those abstracts which have not been selected to be presented orally can be presented as posters or virtual papers. 

Presenting authors must know that:

• can present a maximum of two (2) abstracts at the conference if they are registered under the full rate or student registration modes, and only one (1) abstract if they are registered under the virtual registration mode. First and second presenting authors must register separately for the conference. More information on registration is available in the Registration section.

• must indicate the abstract(s) that they will present at the conference at the time of registering. Failure to do this may result in the no inclusion of the abstract(s) in the Book of Abstract and in the Conference Scientific Program.

• will get the “certificate(s) of presentation” of only the abstract(s) that they will be presenting at the conference, although they may be co-authors of multiple abstracts.
