Abstract Submission has been closed.

NACC is pleased to invite all conference delegates to submit abstracts of their scientific research for consideration at the 5th Annual NACC Conference 2025. This prestigious event will provide an excellent platform for professionals in clinical chemistry, clinical molecular biology, and laboratory medicine to present their work and contribute to the advancement of the field.

Abstract Submission Guidelines

Eligibility: Participants may submit multiple abstracts, provided the presenting author is a registered laboratory health professional. Conference registration will be waived for the primary author of accepted abstracts. Undergraduate students are also eligible to submit abstracts.

Primary Presentation Format: Abstracts will be primarily presented as posters.

Oral Presentation Consideration: A selected number of abstracts will be chosen for oral presentation during conference symposia. The scientific committee of NACC 2025 holds the sole responsibility for acceptance or rejection of the abstract and will communicate with the corresponding (first) author regarding any changes to be made to the abstract, including the category of the abstract.

Publication: All accepted abstracts will be published in a supplementary issue of the Annals of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (ACCLM), the official journal of the NACC. This provides a significant opportunity for broad dissemination of your research within the clinical chemistry community.

Abstract Submission Requirements

Content: Abstracts should be clear, concise, and written in proper English. They must contain significant and original results, as abstracts with statements like “results will be discussed” will not be accepted.

Word Limit: Abstracts must be no longer than 250 words and must follow the structure as mentioned below. Abstracts for case reports should be no longer than 150 words and can be submitted in an unstructured format.

Formatting: No figures, tables, or references are permitted in the abstract. Please use abbreviations sparingly and define them upon first mention.

Publication: Abstracts should not have been previously published in any academic journals or been subject to prior peer review. Submitted abstracts will undergo peer review by the Scientific Committee.

Abstract Submission Deadline

• All abstracts must be submitted by March 30, 2025. A confirmation email will be sent immediately after submission.

Notification of Acceptance

How to Prepare and Submit Your Abstract

1. Prepare your abstract offline in a word processor (such as Microsoft Word).
2. Include the title, authors’ names, and affiliations in the abstract file itself.
3. Ensure that your abstract is structured with the following headings:

   Author's Name: Full names of authors, up to 6 authors allowed, with the first author as the presenting and corresponding author
   
   1. Author’s Affiliation: Post, department, and affiliated institute
   2. First Author's Correspondence: Email address and phone number

   4. Methods (for original articles only)
   5. Results (for original articles only)
   6. Case Description (for case report/series only)
   7. Conclusion
   8. Keywords: 3-5 keywords for the abstract (preferably MeSH terms)
      Note- Word Limit: 250 for original articles, 150 for case reports. Abstract content must be scientifically valid, objective, and balanced, with no commercial promotional material. Generic names of drugs should be used in lowercase, and trade names must be avoided. Do not include patient names, hospital patient ID codes, or any other details within the text that could potentially reveal patient identities.
4. Submit your abstract via email: naccconference2025@gmail.com
5. Indicate in email, whether you wish to apply for an oral presentation.

Abstract Withdrawal

Once an abstract is accepted, the corresponding author must submit a written request for withdrawal to naccconference2025@gmail.com no later than April 7, 2025. Abstracts cannot be withdrawn after this deadline. Only the presenting author is authorized to request a withdrawal; no other individual may contact NACC on their behalf. The submitting author is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors are aware of and agree to this policy.

NACC Conference Scientific 2025 reserves the right to withdraw abstracts that violate the conference's policies and guidelines. This includes abstracts that have been previously published or presented, are scientifically unsound, or contain inaccurate data, among other reasons.

If the authors indicated at submission that they wish to withdraw their abstract if it is not accepted for presentation, the abstract will be automatically withdrawn, and the presenting author will be notified. No further withdrawal request is required in this case.

The NACC Best Abstract/Oral presentation Award

The NACC Best Abstract Award will be presented to the three best posters and one oral presentation during the session, as determined by the Scientific Committee. Evaluation will be based on the novelty of the findings, the quality of the poster display, and the Q&A session with the corresponding author.

We look forward to receiving your abstract submissions and to seeing you at the 5th Annual NACC Conference 2025.

The NACC Conference 2025 Organizing Committee
