This conference
enables participants to submit abstracts online at http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/submit.php.
Presentations can include:
• Single papers (abstract max of 500 words)
• Panel Proposal (one abstract for all 4 speakers) (abstract max of 500 words)
Call for Abstracts and Presentation Proposals
Medicine 2.0 will contain a mix of traditional academic/research, practice and business presentations, keynote presentations, and panel discussions to discuss emerging issues. We strive for an interdisciplinary mix of presenters from different disciplines (e.g. health care, social sciences, computer sciences, engineering, business) and with a different angle (research, practice, and business).
Participants are invited to either submit a 500 word abstract to propose a 15 minute single-presenter talk, or can submit a a 500 word panel proposal to present or discuss a topic in a 45-60 min session with 3-4 colleagues from other organizations/institutions (panel proposals with all authors from the same institution are discouraged). Panel presentations are the preferred format for non-research presentations.

General Submission Instructions
Note that all abstracts and panel proposals must be submitted on this site (http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/submit.php) only. Submissions by email will be ignored.
After submission you can edit or change your abstract by returning to the conference site at http://www.medicine20congress.com/ocs/submit.php before the abstract submission deadline.
Note that before you can submit you have to pre-register! You will need to enter your preregistration username and password when you submit you paper. If you have already preregistered and you forgot your password, go to help.
Please also note that for all submissions you will be asked to nominate two peer-reviewers (who should not be working with you or have any other conflicts of interests). In order to identify peer-reviewers, go to pubmed.gov, search for published articles that are in the broadest sense similar to your abstract/proposal, and make a note of the name and email address of the corresponding author. You will need the email address, which is listed in some (but not all) publications in PubMed (affiliation field). If you have a name/affiliation but not an email address, you may try to Google it.
Policy on simultaneous or previous publications/other conferences. Results presented at the Medicine 2.0 congress should preferably be new results, but overlaps with prior publications or prior/simultaneous submissions to other conferences is not a problem.
The conference language is English. No simultaneous translation will be provided. All abstracts and proposals must be submitted in English.
For all tracks and presentation formats
Do not use any HTML or attempt to hyperlink to websites.
References. You can cite up to 5 bibliographic or webreferences (note that cited URLs are treated as reference). The in-text citation must be a number in square brackets like this [1]. IMPORTANT: Cited webpages (URLs) which are not journal articles must be archived with WebCite [2].
The References section at the end of the abstract should start with the word "References", followed by a line break, and a numbered (1. , 2., ...) list of references in JMIR format (but you do not have to include Medline links or DOIs, as specified in these instructions). Put each reference on a new line. See the following example:

- Poster presentation
Call for Panel Proposals
(click here for deadline)
Submit panel proposals here (select "single paper presentation").
Panels are 45-60 min presentations or debate sessions of a group of leaders in a field discussing a broad issue of general interest from various perspectives. Panels are the preferred format for non-research presentations. If you have an idea for a panel topic, please approach 3-4 colleagues from other organizations/institutions/companies and make sure that all potential speakers are available (please also ask your fellow panelists to preregister). Then draft a short panel proposal, and submit it.
Panel titles should preferably have the word "panel" in the title, e.g. "PHR 2.0 Panel", "Accelerating Research with Web 2.0 Panel", "Consumer Empowerment Panel", "Venture Capitalists and Entrepreneurs Panel", etc.
Please note that normally we will not be able to cover the registration fee, travel and accommodation for any of the panelists.
A complete panel proposal should be submitted as "single paper submission". Each panelist should be added as presenting coauthors (add an asterisk in front of each name to indicate that they are presenting). The abstract should contain up to 500 words, containing a short overview of the common issues and 1-2 sentences per presenter about the contribution of each panelist.
Please note that research abstracts are better suited to be submitted in the research track as "single abstract/paper submission", not as panel contribution. We will not accept panels consisting of coauthors or collaborators of a single research project. Each panelists must come from different organizations. Panel topics should be broad and appeal to a wide audience.
Call for Single-Presenter Abstracts
(click here for deadline)
Submit abstracts here to propose a single-presenter 15 min talk.
All abstracts have a word limit of 500 words, plus up to 5 references. Abstracts will have to be pasted into an online abstract form and should NOT contain any special formatting (bold, italics), special characters (eg. Greek characters), tables, or figures. DO NOT USE ALL-CAPS FOR THE TITLE OR ANY PART OF THE ABSTRACT. The Title Should be in "Title Case", Meaning That All Words Except Articles and Prepositions Should Be Capitalized Like in This Sentence.
Abstracts are invited in 5 tracks - please submit your contribution in any of those tracks according to the envisioned primary target audience of a talk: research, practice, developers, business, and general.
The "general" track is for talks which are suitable for all audiences.
Abstracts in the research track have higher acceptance standards and must be structured into Background, Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusions, and References. Each section (except References) should start with the respective heading in the same line (e.g. "Background: The Internet has become..."), with a new section starting on a new line. DO NOT CAPITALIZE THE SECTION HEADINGS (e.g. do not write "BACKGROUND:", but "Background:"). In the results section, make sure to include relevant statistics, such as sample sizes, response rates, P-values or Confidence Intervals.
References (citing previous and related work) are good scholarly tradition and mandatory for Research abstracts. Submissions in the research track which do not cite references may be rejected or moved to the practice track. See below on how references should be cited.
