Abstract

This preprint document has been developed following discussions among the authors, all of whom work within the medical communications field. These discussions have indicated a clear need for guidance and consistency around conference abstracts and presentations, so we propose various recommendations and welcome input from any interested individuals. Any guidelines must be based on the principles of transparency, consistency and practicality, but we note that specific congress requirements should always be followed.
