CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

Abstract submissions have now closed and the review process is in progress.

KEY DATES

  • Call for abstracts open - Monday 19 May 2025
  • Call for abstracts close - Friday 8 August 2025
  • Notification of abstract acceptance/decline - Monday 29 September 2025

CATEGORIES

Abstracts should be submitted into the relevant category:

  • Endoscopy
  • Hepatology
  • Innovation in Gastroenterology**
  • Luminal
  • Nutrition/General

**This new category is for research in emerging fields of interest to the Gastroenterology community including neurogastroenterology, equity and sustainability. Submissions can also be made for new devices i.e. endoscope or new diagnostic testing.

CRITERIA

Reviewers appointed by the Secretary of the New Zealand Gastroenterology Society will rate each abstract blindly using these criteria:

  1. Originality: How original or unique is the idea, observation or research?
  2. Clinical usefulness: Does the abstract address an important scientific or clinical question?
  3. Quality of the abstract: How coherently written is the abstract? How appealing would this work be to journal editors?
  4. Design and methods: Is there evidence of statistical method? What is the nature of the work? (For example, a clinical or scientific trial would generally carry more weight than a clinical audit or case series). This is also where ethics are considered.
  5. Results and conclusions: Are the conclusions are justified by the methods and results?

RULES FOR ABSTRACTS

NZSG PUBLICATIONS OF NOTE

Many of our Society members publish work in peer reviewed journals. The NZSG wishes to acknowledge and celebrate this work, as getting a paper through to publication requires hard work and determination. We invite all members to submit to the Executive links to their published papers from the past 24 months. The Executive will work towards making this list available on the Society website and assess the possibility and feasibility of authors presenting key papers, or these papers being acknowledged in another form, as part of the ASM 2025 programme.

All accepted abstracts for the ASM (poster and oral), will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. A link to the issue will be sent out to all authors once available.
