SUBMISSION RULES FOR PAPERS

  1. Papers should be an original work. They cannot have been presented in conferences or workshops, nor published in journals - whether inside or outside of Spain – prior to the starting date of the 60th National SEFH (Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria - Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacies) Conference.
  2. Papers shall be focused on professional hospital pharmacy activity and on the motto of the conference, "COMMITTED TO YOU".
  3. Papers may be presented in Spanish as well as in English.
  4. The deadline for paper submission shall be 10 June, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. Confirmation of accepted papers will be announced on 3 September, 2015.
  5. The only method for submitting abstracts shall be by means of the Form designed for this purpose. The Form is to be found on the SEFH website. The abstract shall be limited to 500 words, text only - tables, graphics and images shall not be accepted.

    (We suggest that the abstract not be written directly on the Form. It should rather be stored in a word processor and copied into the Form.)

  6. Once a paper is submitted, it will be regarded as definitive. Any later modifications may not be sent, nor will it be possible to make any changes or add different data to the poster format presented.
  7. In the case that several papers are presented that report repeatedly on different aspects of the same study population, the Scientific Committee reserves the right to accept only those that, in its opinion, are the most relevant.
  8. Authors shall indicate their surnames followed by the initials of their first name (eg. Sánchez Martínez, A). At least one of the authors shall be registered in the Conference before 22 September, 2015. A maximum of 6 authors are allowed per paper.
  9. If the same author participates in more than one paper, he or she must write his or her name in the same way on all of them, so that they can be properly shown in the index.
  10. The title shall be written in uppercase letters, without the use of abbreviations.
  11. The abstract should be written following the following structure: objectives, material, results and conclusions. Any conflict of interest shall be specified (as indicated in the Form). Do not leave any blank lines between paragraphs.
  12. Each paper must be classified by the author as belonging to one of the themes indicated in the paper submission form on the SEFH website. The final classification decision shall be made by the Scientific Committee. The Form shall also include 3 keywords that will enable the classification of the paper for online e-poster session searches.
  13. All Scientific Committee correspondence shall be sent to the first signing author, who will be informed about the acceptance or rejection of the paper. The decision shall be preferably sent by email and/or SMS or, in their absence, via fax or post. The first author must provide his or her email and mobile telephone number for any contacts from the Scientific Committee.
  14. Any paper submitted with a title or text that includes data identifying the institution or the authors shall be rejected.
  15. Accepted abstracts shall be published in printed as well as electronic format, which will be available on the Conference website. Should the authors prefer that a submitted and accepted paper not be included, they must notify the Conference Secretariat before 1 Octuber, 2015 deadline.
  16. Authors presenting a paper shall be responsible for the fact that, in the submitted work, all ethical requirements concerning clinical research, or research with lab animals, as well as those related to the protection of personal data, have been met.
  17. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to decide on which papers are to be presented as oral presentations.
  18. All abstracts from accepted papers shall be the property of the SEFH.
