Abstract Evaluation Process
All abstracts submitted to be presented in the congress will be evaluated by the congress scientific committee. 3 scientific committee members will go over the abstracts for pre-evaluation purposes to check the validity of the abstracts as well as their compliance with the abstract submission rules. The abstracts which pass the pre-evaluation process will be submitted to 2 referees appointed by the scientific committee. The referees will evaluate the abstracts in double blind principle, then the results will be sent to submitting authors by the congress secretariat.
