In case you missed the news, the abstract submission site for Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2022 is officially open. To help you craft an excellent abstract, we turned to our experienced submitters on Twitter and asked for their best advice for abstract submission. Once you read through their tips, head over to the abstract submission site. The deadline to submit is Thursday, Dec. 2 at 21:00 Eastern time (UTC -5).
One sentence for problem, one sentence for objectives, 2 sentences for methods, add key results. Then revise, revise, revise. Make digestible, clear, don’t overstate results, add a figure if you can.
