The submission of abstracts containing the results of individual systematic reviews is not encouraged unless the review highlights broader methodological or organisational issues.

Changes to abstracts can be made up until the deadline by uploading a replacement file. Please note that all correspondence will be sent to the email address of the person submitting the abstract.
