 Submission of previously published or presented abstracts in other congresses / conferences is forbidden.


  Plagiarism review

Within the peer review process, all submitted abstracts will be filtered through a dedicated Anti-Plagiarism software. In cases with potential plagiarism, if less than 30% of the original submission is plagiarized, a notification will be sent to the authors about the issues, to either rewrite the part, or cite the original author. The abstracts detected with more than 30% of the original submission as plagiarized, will be automatically rejected.


Evaluation Process

The abstracts are reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee, designated by the SOROT Board and SOROT 2023 Congress Organizing Committee. This is a double-blind peer review. 

The review criteria are as follows:

0. The abstract is correctly structured, as indicated in the guidelines: Objectives, Materials and methods, Results, Conclusions, Keywords. (Wheighting: 10%)

1. Statement of Objective and Aims of the Research: Clear, concise, justified. (Wheighting: 10%)

2. Research Questions and/or Hypotheses: Clear, consistent with aims and purposes (please note). (Wheighting: 10%)

3. Significance: Rationale given to support that the study addresses an important problem. (Wheighting: 15%)

4. Methods: In sufficient detail to provide evidence of logical consistency between research questions (&hypotheses) and methods. (Wheighting: 15%)

5. Results: Appropriateness of findings statements according to whether the abstract submission reports a study-in-progress or a completed study. // If this is a study-in-progress, a statement about preliminary findings or anticipated findings must be included // If this is a completed study, a statement of actual findings must be included.  (Wheighting: 15%)

6. Conclusion: If study is complete: accurate interpretation of results is expected, including recommendations for practice, education, research, and policy. If study is “in-progress” discussion may be scant or absent.  (Wheighting: 15%)

7. Overall: good grammar, clarity and flow; consistency between objectives, methods, results and conclusion. (Wheighting: 10%)

The reviewer will give a score between 1 and 5 for each criteria, 1 being Very poor to 5 being Very good.
