An additional report on an osmium isocyanide complex is found in conference abstracts 78). 

There is little evidence relating to the pharmacoeconomic aspects of the use of quetiapine. In the UK, a retrospective audit of 20 patients (Lee et al, 1998), published only as a conference abstract, tentatively suggested decreased costs for those patients, largely through a reduction in hospital stay and resource use. Quetiapine may also improve quality of life (Hellewell et al, 1999). A large, randomized, controlled pharmacoeconomic evaluation is apparently under way (Drummond et al, 1998) and results are awaited.

This chapter focuses on writing a conference abstract, not to be confused with a journal article abstract, which was addressed in chapter 7. A conference abstract is submitted in response to a Call for Abstracts issued by conference organizers, typically 3-6 months before the conference takes place. The abstract is reviewed and, if accepted, allows the authors to present a contributed paper (as either an oral or poster presentation) at a conference session. Only accepted papers may be presented at a conference whether they are oral or poster presentations is a decision usually made by conference organizers. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to do the following ...

Writing a conference abstract is often the first professional genre that novice writers tackle on their own, with little, if any, guidance from their research mentors. This chapter is intended to prepare you for the task by focusing on the text of the abstract. (If your abstract is accepted and results in a poster presentation, see chapters 9 and 10 for guidance in preparing the poster.)... 

Like the journal article abstract, most conference abstracts have strict word limitations (typically between 150 and 200 words). Adherence to this limit is expected your abstract will likely be rejected if the limit is exceeded. Many other formatting specifications must also be followed. For example, most instructions include rules for formatting your title, author list, graphics, and special characters (e.g., pm, a, <, m ). The reason for such specificity is that your abstract, if accepted, will be printed (as is) in conference proceedings. Adherence to these guidelines by all authors ensures that the proceedings appear uniform and professional. 

Because they both include the word abstract , you may think that a conference abstract is just like a journal article abstract. In fact, a conference abstract combines features of both the Introduction section and abstract of a journal article. Like the Introduction, a conference abstract introduces work that will be presented (in this case, at a conference). Like the journal article abstract, a conference abstract highlights signihcant findings. 

A conference abstract is written for two distinct audiences. Conference organizers represent the first audience they read the abstract and decide whether to accept it for a conference paper. Several factors influence this decision, not the least of... 

The second audience comprises conference attendees, who read abstracts to determine whose talk to attend or poster to view. Because national conferences typically have multiple concurrent sessions, attendees rely on abstracts to make their decisions about what sessions to attend, where to go, and when. Individuals who read your abstract are likely to be in a related field of chemistry, but most likely will not be in your specific area of chemistry. Thus, it is important to keep your abstract general enough to be readily understood across different areas of science, thereby targeting primarily a scientific audience. In this regard, the conference abstract is more similar to the Introduction section of a journal article than to the abstract of a journal article, the latter written for an expert audience.
