Prepare a structured abstract forscientific committee review.
The NRIC 2026 Scientific Committee requires structured Introduction, Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion sections, explicit declarations, presenter verification, and required file uploads. Submission is the first stage of consideration and does not guarantee presentation.
Review begins with these baseline criteria.
One active abstract slot
Each profile may submit 1 active abstract package in the current cycle. The portal checks presenter reuse before submission.
Structured scientific review
Submissions move through completeness checks, scientific review, and committee harmonisation before oral or poster allocation.
Portal package required
Submissions are accepted through the NRIC Conference Profile Portal with structured fields, author metadata, files, and declarations.
Write in the required five-part sequence.
Contextualise the research problem, make the knowledge gap explicit, and keep the background focused.
State the primary aim or research question directly so reviewers can judge whether the submission answers it.
Describe design, setting, data collection, and analysis clearly enough for validity and reproducibility assessment.
Report sample size and primary findings with effect size and confidence intervals where applicable.
Answer the objective, avoid overstatement, and include relevant limitations or implications.
Study-specific method requirements apply.
Original studies: include sample size justification and ERC/IRB approval details with approval number. If not obtained, provide written justification.
Case reports: declare informed patient consent, follow CARE (SCARE for surgical reports), and remove all patient-identifiable details.
Systematic reviews/meta-analyses: provide protocol registration number and align methodology with international standards; reporting quality assessment, GRADE certainty, heterogeneity, and publication bias are expected where applicable. Narrative reviews are not permitted.
Flow checkpoints
Study designs
Specialty and presentation choices
Framework for Abstract Triage, Evaluation and Harmonisation (FATEH).
Every abstract enters The Framework before final outcomes are released. This process standardises quality checks, reviewer-led scoring, and committee-level adjudication across the scientific programme.
Submission completeness, presenter eligibility, required abstract sections, and ethics declarations are verified before reviewer routing.
Abstracts are scored in a double-blinded process for scientific validity, originality, methodological quality, and translational relevance.
The committee reconciles reviewer outputs, resolves conflicts, and finalises oral or poster allocation before official communication.
Review this checklist before upload.
Maximum 10 authors and 8 keywords are accepted.
The complete abstract is limited to 350 words across Introduction, Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion.
Exactly one presenting author is assigned. The submitting participant remains presenter unless committee rules require or the submitter nominates another registered presenter.
The presenter registration number is checked in the portal when another presenter is nominated.
Specialty, subspecialty, study design, and presentation preference are required before final submission.
Completed studies and ongoing studies with preliminary results are eligible; proposals without results are ineligible.
All human-participant data must be sufficiently anonymised.
Email submissions are not accepted.
Presenter Student ID image is required. Accepted image formats are JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 1 MB.
The primary abstract file accepts PDF, DOC, or DOCX up to 1 MB when required by the active settings.
Supporting material accepts PDF, DOC, or DOCX up to 1 MB when required by committee settings.
Originality declaration is required before final submission.
Concurrent submission compliance declaration is required before final submission.
Ethics approval or exemption declaration is required before final submission.
Patient consent declaration where applicable is required before final submission.
Any of the following may remove a submission from evaluation.
Plagiarism or substantially AI-generated scientific content.
Missing mandatory abstract sections or required declarations.
Missing presenter Student ID image or required abstract files.
Falsified authorship, affiliation, or ethical approval declarations.
Submission of a proposal or a study without results.
Submission of a narrative review.
Submission through unauthorised channels or after the deadline.
Missing ethical approval statement where required.
Submit through the portal and prepare for scientific discussion.
The scientific workflow runs through NRIC’s Framework for Abstract Triage, Evaluation and Harmonisation (FATEH). Top abstracts are assigned oral or poster presentation at committee discretion, and presenting authors must complete a separate registration form regardless of acceptance status.
Operational reminder
Late submissions are not accepted under any circumstances.
Guideline compliance is binding and supersedes informal communications.
