|---|---|
| Significance | Clear value for virology, clinical practice or patient care. |
| Clear objectives | Aims stated clearly using PICOTS: population, intervention, comparison, outcome, time and setting. |
| Originality and novelty | Original work with new ideas. |
| Relevance | Research that fits the conference theme. |
| Clear presentation | Well-written content that follows the required format. |
Once your abstract is acceptedPresentation obligations.
