Enhanced Peer Review Process [Top] We believe peer-review is vital to maintaining the highest academic standards for the Medicine 2.0 '11 Congress at Stanford. Therefore, this year we are partnering with IMIA (the International Association for Medical Informatics) Social Media Working Group (SMWG) to provide enhanced peer review for all submissions to Medicine 2.0 '11 at Stanford. Here's how the process will work:
New Publication Options for Conference Presentations [Top] Research In Progress [Top] Topics [Top]You may submit your panel proposal or scientific single-presenter abstract under one of the following broad topic headings. Medicine 2.0 Core Topics
Medicine 2.0 Special Topics
General Submission Instructions [Top]
General Guidelines [Top] Please note that all abstracts and panel proposals must be submitted on this site only. Submissions by email will not be accepted. The deadline for submission of applications is March 1, 2011. Please also review your application carefully prior to submission. You cannot edit or change your abstract once your application is submitted. Please note that for submissions in the research track you will be asked to nominate three 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 attempt to locate contact information through standard internet search methods. Presenters must be listed as first author of the abstract (except panels). Note that we will only consider one submission/presentation per participant. Do not submit multiple abstracts (unless there is another first author/presenter). Policy on simultaneous or previous publications/other conferences. Results presented at the Medicine 2.0 congress should preferably be new results. Content 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 may be cited in the abstract, but no more than 5 references will be accepted. On submission, authors can select one of the following presentation formats:
Call for Single-Presenter Abstracts (Oral, Poster, DEMO Interactive) [Top] Submit abstracts here to propose a single-presenter 15 min talk, poster presentation or DEMO interactive presentation. All abstracts have a word limit of 500 words, with no references allowed. 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 3 tracks. Please submit your contribution in any of these tracks according to the intended primary target audience of a talk:
Abstracts in the research track have higher acceptance standards and must be structured into Background, Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Each section 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, if applicable, such as sample sizes, response rates, P-values or Confidence Intervals. Click Here to Begin the Submission Process DEMO Interactive Session [Top] For DEMO interactive sessions, the SPC would also like to view a screencast demonstration of the website, computer application or product highlighting the important features and content to be demonstrated to the audience during the interactive session. The screencast is in addition to the standard abstract submission form. DEMO interactive presentations should have the word "DEMO" in the title, e.g. "The START Educational Program Website DEMO". Screencasts should be uploaded directly to the Medicine 2.0 website as a quicktime video file. Please click here for additional instructions. Click Here to Begin the Submission Process Startup Pitches [Top] Medicine 2.0 Start-Up Forum: Bringing together Investors and Entrepreneurs. This Fall, Medicine 2.0 '11 at Stanford is excited to launch a new opportunity for innovators who wish to take their concepts to market. This forum will host a panel of leading venture capitalists and industry experts who will evaluate proposed business ventures. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn how investors evaluate technologies. It is also an opportunity for investors to learn about innovative technologies. The presentations will follow a strict format that is designed to entertain, inform, and keep the audience engaged. For Startup Pitches, the team should submit a powerpoint slide set in addition to a 500 word abstract of the proposed pitch. A sample powerpoint slide set should be downloaded here and filled out completely to accompany the submission. We realize that some applicants will need help creating their pitches because they may not have formal business experience or knowledge about the process of creating a pitch. Assistance with applications to the Startup Forum Pitches can be obtained by emailing Dr. Bassam Kadry or Dr. Talya Miron-Shatz. Authors should suggest two experts who are unaffiliated with the work who are qualified to review the proposal. This may include business experts or subject matter experts. Authors who are unable to identify such experts may list Dr. Talya Miron-Shatz and Dr. Bassam Kadry as reviewers. Startup Pitches will only be considered in the Business track. Click Here to Begin the Submission Process Call for Panel Proposals [Top] Submit panel proposals here. 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. The panel chair/organizer should be listed as first author. The first author should submit one abstract on behalf of all panelists. The abstract should briefly describe the topic and panelists. 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. Panelists will have to come up with their own funding. 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. Click Here to Begin the Submission Process |
