No abstract will be considered after the closing date. Please note that presenting authors whose abstracts are accepted must be paid registrants.

• There is no limit to the number of abstracts an author or group of authors may submit.
• Submitted abstracts must be no longer than 2,200 characters and written in English.
• Authors must indicate the type of presentation for which they would like their abstract(s) to be considered (i.e., oral presentation only, lightening oral presentation only, poster presentation only, oral or Lightening oral or poster presentation).
• A structured abstract is preferred for empirical studies (i.e. Objective, Methods, Findings and Conclusions).
• For abstracts discussing methods, policy, ethics or social issues, an unstructured format is acceptable.

• There is no need to mention institutional review board/ethics committee or animal care committee approval in your abstract since all authors attest to approval at the time of submission and this is mentioned in the editor’s introduction so readers will know that all studies were approved.
• There is no need to say “a p-value of 0.05 was considered significant”, as this is convention (If an atypical p-value is being used, this should probably be mentioned)
• The following standard acronyms will be shown in a table at the beginning of the abstracts, and need not be spelled out: 95% CI, ASA, AUC, CBC/FBC, CPR, CT, CXR, DBP, ECG, ED, EM, EMS, HR, INR, IQR, MRI, ROC, RR, SBP, SD(when used as standard deviation after a mean), tPA, IV.

• Please do not use abbreviations of common words to save characters in regular sentences. For example, do not use “pts” for patients repeatedly throughout an abstract.
• Please do not use characters in place of words (such as “&” for “and”, or “%” for “percent”) when used as a word in sentences. It is acceptable to use the % sign with numbers, such as “there was a 20% reduction”, but not as “we measured the % change in blood glucose”.
• Do not eliminate spaces to fool the computer into thinking that something is one word instead of two (or more). For example, do not write “and the average blood glucose(110 mg/ dl) was higher in this group” in place of “and the average blood glucose (110 mg/dl) was higher in this group” to look like 10 words instead of 11.
• Please list as few affiliations as possible, to keep the list below the authors’ names to a minimum. Instead of listing XYZ University for one author, XYZ University School of Medicine for another author, and XYZ University Hospital for another, selects one for all three whenever possible.

All abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee. Receipt of abstract submission will be acknowledged via email. E-mail notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the submitting author. Submission of abstracts constitutes the authors’ consent to have the abstracts published in the official conference proceedings. Abstracts may be edited for publication.

If accepted for presentation at EMCON 2014, you agree to publication of your abstract in Journal of Emergency Medicine. Your abstract will not be published elsewhere.
