Submission Steps

You will be prompted to complete the following steps when submitting an abstract. If you are unable to finish your abstract submission in one sitting, you must at least complete Step 1: Abstract Title, in order to have your submission saved and be able to return to the abstract submission site and complete any time prior to the deadline.

Step 1: Abstract Title 

Step 2: Presentation Type 

Step 3: Science Type and Topic 

Step 4: Authors and Disclosures 

Step 5: COI and Permissions 

Step 6: Abstract Body  

Step 7: Abstract Keywords 

Step 8: Submission Questions 

Step 9: Payment 

Step 10: Review My Work 

 

Step 1: Abstract Title 
Abstract titles should be short and specific, and entered in title case (the first letter of each word is capitalized, except for certain small words, such as articles, conjunctions, and prepositions). 

For assistance with putting your abstract title in title case, visit www.capitalizemytitle.com.

Example: This Is a Properly Formatted Title 

Step 2: Presentation Type 
 You may select your abstract to be considered for an Oral Presentation or a Traditional Poster Presentation. All accepted abstracts will also be published in a supplemental issue of the Open Access Journal of the Endocrine Society (JES). 

Please Note: Authors of accepted abstracts will receive further information and technical guidelines on how to prepare for their oral or poster presentation. 

  • Oral Presentation 
     The highest-ranked abstracts are selected for Oral Presentations. These sessions will take place in Chicago June 15 - 18. Presenting authors will have dedicated time to give a 10-minute presentation using slides to summarize their abstract followed by a brief 3–5-minute question and answer session. Note: Abstracts not accepted for an Oral Presentation will automatically be considered for Traditional Poster Presentation.
  • Traditional Poster Presentation (Printed Poster)
    Poster Presentations will take place in-person in Chicago on Thursday, June 15, 2023, through Saturday, June 17, 2023. Presenting authors will be able to display a traditional poster on an expansive poster floor. Poster presenters will be assigned one day to display their printed poster at the conference. During dedicated times on that day, poster presenters will have the opportunity to present and discuss their research with other meeting participants. Select this option if you do not wish to be considered for an oral presentation. 

Step 3: Science Type and Topic 
Basic, clinical, and translational scientific abstracts, clinical trials are accepted for submission across 132 topical areas, and clinical case reports are accepted for submission in 16 topical areas. View the complete list of 2023 Abstract Topical Areas. 

  • Basic Scientific Research - Submissions should report basic endocrine research (e.g., physiological or molecular biological research in cell cultures or animal models).  
  • Translational Scientific Research - Submissions should report mechanistic endocrine research in humans, human tissues, tumor cells, or animal models that have a direct relationship to human physiology or disease.  
  • Clinical Scientific Research - Submissions should report endocrine research investigating or concerning specific disease states (e.g., evaluation of diagnostic techniques and therapies).  
  • Clinical Trial - Submissions should report data about the safety or potential benefit of an endocrine intervention such as a medication, device, teaching concept, training method, or behavioral change in human subjects.  
  • Clinical Case Report - In partial contrast to the requirements for general Clinical Case Report submissions, submissions for late-breaking Clinical Case Reports should report completely novel findings that provide meaningful new insight into the etiology and/or treatment of endocrine disorders. In addition to consideration for poster presentation at ENDO, late-breaking Clinical Case Reports will be considered for use in other educational formats, online or in print.

Step 4: Authors and Disclosures 
Authors 
 Edits to authors will not be accepted after the abstract submission site has closed. Please review this information carefully to ensure you have included all authors. You may also change the presenting author here at any time up until the abstract submission site closes (NOTE: There can be only one Presenting Author in your submission).  

Enter contact information and disclosures for the presenting author. Based on the disclosures entered for the presenting author, complete the Conflict of Interest (COI) resolution and recording permissions. If you change the presenting authors, you must also update the COI and permissions pertinent to the new presenting author. 

Disclosures 
FACULTY DISCLOSURE OF RELEVANT FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIPS & RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 
 In accordance with requirements of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Endocrine Society requires all individuals who are in a position to control the content of a CME activity to disclose all financial relationships with any commercial interest that produces, markets, resells, or distributes healthcare goods or services consumed by or used on patients. 

Financial relationships are defined as remuneration paid to you in any amount that has occurred within the last 24 months when these two conditions apply: 

  • You have financial relationship with a commercial interest 
  • You have the opportunity to affect CME content related to the products or services of that commercial interest 

If a potential conflict of interest exists as a result of a financial relationship, this will need to be resolved prior to the activity. All financial relationships must be disclosed to learners at the beginning of the CME activity. If no financial relationships exist, learners must be informed of that as well. 

Step 5: COI and Permissions 
 Conflict of Interest 
 If you listed a conflict of interest for your abstract presentation when you completed your disclosures and a potential conflict exists as a result of a financial relationship, this will need to be resolved prior to the activity. Please complete this step to assist with resolving any potential conflict of interests so that the Endocrine Society may provide CME on your presentation. 

Session Recording Permissions 
 The Endocrine Society will record your presentation, with your consent and will make the recording available through Endocrine Society distribution channels. In this section, please select your options and provide requested information here. 

Step 6: Abstract Body 

  • Character Limit: Maximum of 2,500 characters, including punctuation (not spaces), for the text of your abstract body. Figures, tables, graphs will not be accepted. References are allowed but not required and should be included in the body of your abstract. If you include references, they will count toward the 2,500-character limit. 
  • Abstract Body: Select "Enter Abstract Text" below to type in your abstract or copy and paste it from an existing document, or "Upload a File Containing Your Abstract". To preserve formatting and scientific characters in your abstract text, uploading a file containing your abstract is the preferred option. You may upload any .doc or .docx file, but the total character limit must not exceed 2,500. PLEASE NOTE: To preserve the blind peer review process, do not include any identifying information (institution or author names) in your abstract. All co-authors/primary investigators, their institutional affiliations, and any disclosures must be entered in Step 4: AUTHORS AND DISCLOSURES.
  • Graphics (e.g., figures and tables) are not accepted in the body of your abstract. 

IMPORTANT: Please carefully review your abstract and author information before finalizing your submission. Presenting authors may edit their abstract by returning to the abstract submission site at any time prior to the submission deadline. No edits can be made once the submission site closes on Monday, April 24 at 1:00 PM ET. Accepted abstracts will be published online in the ENDO program, in the ENDO mobile app (if applicable), and in the Journal of the Endocrine Society (JES). Authors will not have an opportunity to review or approve proofs of their abstract before it appears online and in JES, and corrections after publication in JES are not possible. 

Step 7: Abstract Keywords 
Keywords help others search for and find your abstract when using the ENDO 2022 Meeting Platform. Select keywords from a drop-down menu that would likely be used to search for your abstract. Minimum of 1 keyword and maximum of 3 keywords. 

Please carefully review your abstract and author information before clicking the "Save and Continue" button. Make any edits if necessary. 

Step 8: Submission Questions 

  • Question 1: Principal Investigator – provide the PI of your research 
  • Question 2: Religious Conflicts – indicate if any conflicts exist which would prevent you from presenting on certain days
    • I do not have any religious scheduling conflicts. 
    • I cannot present on Thursday, June 15, 2023, because of a religious observation. 
    • I cannot present on Friday, June 16, 2023, because of a religious observation. 
    • I cannot present on Saturday, June 17, 2023, because of a religious observation. 
  • Question 3: Embargo and Publication Restriction – indicate if you do not want your full abstract posted online until the date of your presentation.  
  • Question 4: Quality Improvement and Patient Safety – Indicate if abstract covers quality improvement and patient safety
     
    • Step 9: Payment
