ISONG World Congress Abstract Submission
Due June 6
For all Abstracts:
- Abstract length is limited to 1,500 characters, including spaces and headings. The Abstract Committee will decline to review abstract submissions longer than 1,500 characters. Authors should select the most appropriate category (Research, Genomic Application – Education, Genomic Application - Clinical, or Policy) for review.
- All abstracts must have research results or genomic application outcomes by the time of presentation at the Congress. For case study submissions, relevance to genomic research or genomic clinical care should be evident. Preliminary/Interim data analyses are acceptable.
- All abstracts must be submitted by the primary author/presenter, who will also serve as the contact.
Research
- Appropriate abstracts may represent a broad scope of nursing inquiry, including molecular, big data, psychosocial, education, and clinical perspectives. Research inquiry may be either qualitative or quantitative. Nursing inquiry conducted in clinical or educational settings should be submitted to the research category. An integrative review of the literature (state of the science) will be evaluated according to research abstract criteria.
- Reviewers will score abstracts based on the following criteria: Originality; scientific significance or merit; appropriateness or adequacy of design/approach and methods; application to the field; and adequacy of description.
- Suggested headings for research abstracts are:
Design: Indicate type of study, sample, setting, dates of data collection
Methods: Describe study measures including interventions, data collection methods, and data analysis
Results: Present study findings
Conclusions: Interpret study findings
Relevance: Describe implications for nursing practice/research.
Key Words: List 3-4 keywords NOT in the abstract title
Genomic Application; Education and Clinical Appropriate abstracts demonstrate application of research knowledge/discovery in an educational or clinical setting. For example, a submitted abstract may illustrate application of educational research or established tools to improve genetic/genomic nursing education (e.g., program application and outcomes). Other exemplars include
The abstract author(s) must illustrate the background scientific foundation for the application in the clinical practice or education setting. Reviewers will score abstracts based on the following criteria: Innovation/creativity; educational/clinical importance or merit; appropriateness of clinical or educational application approach/program implementation; application to genetic/genomic education/practice; and adequacy of description Suggested headings for Genomic Application – Education, Genomic Application – Clinical abstracts are:
| PolicyAbstracts related to policy may focus on established policies, current policy development, or policy advocacy. Examples include implications of current policies around genetics/genomics (i.e. societal, population, economic, health indices), global and national policy development initiatives, and evolving genetic/genomic issues with resulting need for policy development. Reviewers will score policy abstracts based on the following criteria: Originality; significance or merit; adequacy of policy analysis, initiative, process, approach, or change implementation; application to genetic/genomic nursing; and adequacy of description Suggested headings for policy abstracts are:
