     • - Incomplete abstracts (i.e. abstracts with typos, with missing letters/words, lacking concrete numbers, without "Objective," "Methods," "Results," and "Conclusions" sections, etc.) will not be accepted, so please be especially careful when preparing abstracts for submission.
3. Abstract Submission Eligibility

   • The first author himself/herself should register for the meeting and submit an abstract.
     Abstract submission by a co-author on behalf of the first author is not permitted.
   • The presenting author must be the first author of the submitted abstract.
4. Guidelines for ethical considerations
   The submitting author certifies that any work with human or animal subjects reported in this abstract complies with the guiding principles for experimental procedures endorsed by the ethical review board of the country in which the study was done.
   Abstracts must comply with relevant ethical guidelines for human and/or animal research, and authors may be asked to supply additional documentation.
   
   If the study was done in Japan, please follow the guideline below:
   Depending on the nature of the research to be presented, it may be necessary to adhere to ethical guidelines (for clinical research, human genome/genetic analysis research, immunological research, clinical research using human stem cells, etc.) established by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare or other agencies, as well as the ethical rules (including those for animal research, etc.) set forth by presenters' affiliations, and to seek prior review and approval from their institution's ethical review boards, etc. For further information, please see "Ethical Considerations in Abstracts for the Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Neurology"

   *However, it is not necessarily required to obtain approval from the affiliated institution's ethical review committee for case reports that do not include comparative examination or statistical analysis. If the data is used for comparative examination or statistical analysis, the study should be considered an “observational study,” not “case reports,” and approval from the affiliated institution's ethical review committee is necessary.

   *Comparative examination generally means;

   • - A method that divides research participants into two or more groups for comparing differences between groups and performs statistical tests.
   • - A method that compares longitudinal data (e.g., before treatment vs. after treatment) of a research population and performs statistical tests.

5. Guidelines for abstract contents
   
   • Abstract(s) must not have been presented at annual meetings including other societies at the time of submission.
   • Submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed, so please avoid any mention of your affiliation in the title or body of your abstract.
   • When referring to drugs by name, please be certain to use the generic name.
   • It is mandatory to report the actual number of cases and/or laboratory animals/test specimens at the time of the experiment.
   • In principle, the abstracts should not report on single cases. However, upon review, such a presentation may be accepted if the case has been substantively examined from a symptomological and scientific perspective.
   • If the content infringes upon patients' personal information, informed consent must be obtained from the patient or their representative and the presentation must carefully avoid identifying any individuals. We prohibit presentations that include information, such as hospitalization dates, that could be used to identify individuals.
   • The Committee of Reviewers will review all the submitted abstracts, and the decision on abstract acceptance will be made by the Program Committee. Please note that a submitted abstract could be rejected depends on reviewing result.
6. Others
   • No matter what the reason, revisions to abstracts after submission deadline will not be accepted. The office will not request revisions for accepted abstracts. Submitted abstracts will appear as accepted in Clinical Neurology (vol. 64, issue Supplement). Revisions to abstracts after the annual meeting will not be accepted, so please prepare your abstracts with care.
   • The registration ID number and password are automatically generated, and sent to the first author by E-mail. You can view/edit/delete abstract at any time until the final deadline.
7. Best presentation awards
   The JSN reviewers will give the best presentation awards to the best presenters (oral and poster) in nominees. The awards ceremony will be held in the Get Together on May 29 (Wednesday).

Disclosures of conflicts of interest

To promote appropriate forms of collaborative clinical research between industry and academia and ensure neutrality and transparency in presentations on clinical research findings based on sound science and ethics, all presenters are expected to disclose any "conflicts of interest" (COI).

When submitting proposals, please select "yes" or "no" in the field for "Do you have any conflicts of interest?" on the screen. If "yes," then please download and fill out the COI application form and send it to The Japanese Society of Neurology Secretariat office (jsn-abs@gol.com) as an e-mail attachment no later than December 7 (Thursday), 2023. Technical questions regarding conflicts of interest should be directed to the society office as well.

Once the program is finalized, acceptance/non-acceptance of the abstracts will be announced on this webpage around the middle of February. Please make a note of the "Abstract Entry Number (number of seven digits)" which will be shown in the E-mail sent right after the completion of your abstract submission. With the Abstract Entry Number, you will be able to find the information such as presentation schedule, format and location on this webpage.
The decision on abstract acceptance is entirely up to the Program Committee.
No matter what the reason, request for change of your presentation schedule will not be accepted.
