Encore Abstracts
IAPRD does accept encore abstracts unless they have already been published as a full article. If the abstract is already in press at a journal associated with a different congress, it cannot be re-published in the PRD journal due to copyright restrictions, although the authors can still present their work at the IAPRD Congress. Abstracts that have been presented at other meetings will not automatically be accepted — each submission must go through the abstract review process and acceptance cannot be guaranteed.
Plagiarism Checks
Abstract authors confirm that their abstract is the original work of the authors. By submitting their work, all authors agree to any necessary plagiarism checks of the abstract prior to publication.
