Research Track

Abstract Structure

Abstracts should be written in a clear English language with no grammar or spelling mistakes.
The length of the abstracts should not exceed 300 words while the title should be 25 words or less.
Each abstract should include the following:
- Introduction: The introduction includes a background about the subject; and justification of the study by stating the problem, its significance and what does the author/s aim to achieve by doing this study.
- Methodology: How was the study conducted and the data collected and analyzed?
- Results: Precise description of the obtained data and findings.
- Conclusion: Shows the drawn conclusions from the obtained data along with their implications.

Case reports will not be accepted.

Submission Process

The call for abstract submission of the abstracts opens on October 05, 2018 and will be closed on December 17, 2018.
All submissions should be made through the in-house developed E-Submission system.
Each submitter will have to register in the system using their personal information (names, mails, contact numbers, workplace, and specialty).
Submitters will be required to enter their research title, the field of the research, presenting author name (including other co-authors names) and the preferred mode of presentation.
Authors will be required to construct their abstracts using the E-Submission system. Each section of the abstract (Introduction, Methodology, Results, Conclusions) has an assigned field to be filled with the appropriate text, while one figure will be allowed to be uploaded separately.
Each submitter can submit more than one abstract but eventually only one will get accepted (The Highest Score).
After the completion of the abstract submission process, each submitter will have a username and password to access his abstract and to check his abstract status.

Evaluation Process

The evaluation process will start on the 15th of December.
The research unit members at KSAU-HS will be responsible for evaluating and approving the submitted abstracts.
After the closure of the submission portal, abstracts will be distributed randomly and evenly on the research unit members.
Abstracts will be evaluated according to the score based on evaluation criteria made by the research unit.
Abstracts that score the highest will be chosen to be presented during the conference. And only the highest abstracts will be chosen for oral presentation (except if the presenter chose “poster presentation” as his preferred mode of presentation).

Owners of the accepted abstract will be contacted and announced publicly along with their designated times.
