Disputes
ASBMR will not adjudicate a dispute between abstract presenters.
Expectations of Authors and Presenters
Through ASBMR meetings, the Society promotes excellence in the bone, mineral and musculoskeletal field. To that end, ASBMR expects that all authors and presenters affiliated with the ASBMR 2024 Annual Meeting will provide informative and fully accurate content that reflects the highest level of scientific rigor and integrity.
The ASBMR depends upon the honesty of the authors and presenters and relies on their assertions that they have had sufficient full access to the data and are convinced of its reliability.
Attendees to the ASBMR Annual Meeting include basic scientists and clinicians from over 65 countries. To improve comprehension of your research by a diverse audience, we ask that the language you use in your presentation be clear and concise. Please attempt to avoid jargon and unnecessarily complicated language. Clearly define all terms, experimental techniques, abbreviations and acronyms that are not typically known outside your area of expertise. Where appropriate, please provide control reference ranges and baselines. Consider the use of a statement of relevance such as ‘These clinical findings are consistent/inconsistent with current thinking on the mechanisms of action...’ or ‘These basic findings could suggest a possible therapeutic target...’
Further, the ASBMR expects that:
- All authors and presenters (invited and abstracts-based oral and poster presenters) will disclose any conflicts of interest, real or perceived.
- Authors of an abstract describing a study funded by an organization with a proprietary or financial interest must affirm that they had full access to all the data in the By so doing, they accept complete responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis.
- The content of abstracts, presentations, slides and reference materials must remain the ultimate responsibility of the author(s) or faculty.
- The planning, content and execution of abstracts, speaker presentations, slides, abstracts and reference materials should be free from corporate influence, bias, or control.
- All authors and presenters (invited and abstracts-based oral and poster presenters) should give a balanced view of therapeutic options by providing several treatment options, whenever possible, and by always citing the best available evidence.
In addition, ASBMR meeting evaluations will seek feedback regarding commercial bias.
- You must identify at least one author as the presenter for your abstract and one author as the Principal Investigator. To begin, click the “Add Author” link. Enter information for each author in all open fields. PLEASE NOTE: The order of authors can be changed by clicking on the MOVE button to the right of the author name.
-
Step 5: Sponsor
Each abstract must be sponsored by a current member of the ASBMR. A member may sponsor only ONE abstract; however, you may co-author any number of abstracts. Current members in the following categories may sponsor their own abstracts: In-Training, APDEM, Full, and Discounted.
Please Note: Abstracts without sponsorship from a current member will not be reviewed. If you would like to become an ASBMR member and sponsor your own abstract, please visit our website at www.asbmr.org and click on "Join ASBMR." Contact the ASBMR Business Office at abstracts@asbmr.org if you have any membership questions.
-
Step 6: Disclosures
Disclosure/Conflict of Interest
The ASBMR is committed to ensuring the balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor of all its individually sponsored or industry-supported educational activities. Accordingly, the ASBMR adheres to the requirement set by ACCME that audiences at jointly-sponsored educational programs be informed of a presenter's (speaker, faculty, author, or planner) academic and professional affiliations, and the disclosure of the existence of any significant financial interest or other relationship a presenter or their spouse has with any proprietary entity over the past 12 months producing, marketing, re-selling or distributing health care goods or services, consumed by or used on patients, with the exemption of non-profit or government organizations and non-health care related companies. When an unlabeled use of a commercial product, or an investigational use not yet approved for any purpose, is discussed during the presentation, it is required that presenters disclose that the product is not labeled for the use under discussion or that the product is still investigational. This policy allows the listener/attendee to be fully knowledgeable in evaluating the information being presented. The On-Site Program book will note those speakers who have disclosed affiliations, including the nature of the affiliation and the associated commercial entity.
Disclosure should include any affiliation that may bias one’s presentation or which, if known, could give the perception of bias. This includes relevant financial affiliations of a spouse or partner. If an affiliation exists that could represent or be perceived to represent a conflict of interest, this must be reported in the abstract submission program by listing the name of the commercial entity and selecting the potential conflict(s) by clicking in the box next to the affiliation type. Disclosures will be printed in the program materials. These situations may include, but are not limited to:
- Grant/Research Support
- Consultant
- Speakers’ Bureau
- Major Stock Shareholder
- Other Financial or Material Support
-
Step 7: Scheduling Conflicts
Please use the “Schedule Conflicts” section to indicate any schedule conflicts of which you are already aware that would preclude your presenting your abstract on a certain day(s) or at a specific time of the meeting (September 27 - September 30, 2024). Leave this section blank if you have no schedule conflicts. Please be aware that the ASBMR will NOT make any scheduling changes once the abstracts have been assigned to the program.
-
Step 8: Additional Information
Prior Publication and Presentation Policy
Abstracts submitted to the ASBMR 2024 Annual Meeting represent recent advances bone, mineral and musculoskeletal, and those abstracts highlighted at the oral program present the most cutting-edge research in the bone, mineral and musculoskeletal field. Authors should carefully review our prior publication policy, below, to determine if their abstracts are eligible for consideration for the oral program or for poster presentation only.
At the time of abstract submission, the manuscript should not have been previously published verbatim as a scientific article or meeting abstract. Note that interim research products, including manuscripts deposited to a preprint server, are eligible for abstract submission.
If a manuscript associated with an abstract has or will appear in print or online on or before Thursday, June 27, 2024 (excluding a preprint server), the abstract is not eligible for oral presentation at the ASBMR 2024 Annual Meeting and should be submitted for Poster Presentation Only. It is the submitting author’s responsibility to select “Poster Only” from the drop-down menu in the Additional Information section.
Prior Presentation
Wide dissemination of previously presented abstracts excludes oral presentation at the ASBMR 2024 Annual Meeting. The following guidelines apply to previously presented abstracts:
- Abstracts presented orally or as a poster at a prior ASBMR Annual Meeting may not be submitted for either poster or oral presentation.
- Abstracts that have received wide exposure may not be submitted for an oral presentation at the ASBMR 2024 Annual Meeting and should be marked “Poster Only” under the Preferences section on the Submission Site.
Examples of wide exposure include presentation (poster or oral) at major U.S. and other national and international meetings.
Examples of meetings at which abstracts have been presented that would not exclude oral presentation at the ASBMR 2024 Annual Meeting include focused workshops and symposia such as: Gordon Conferences, Advances in Mineral Metabolism, ASBMR Topical Meeting and Keystone Symposia.
If you have previously presented the material in your abstract at another meeting and are not sure about its eligibility for oral presentation at the ASBMR 2024 Annual Meeting, please mark “Poster Only” or contact ASBMR (abstracts@asbmr.org) for advice before submitting the abstract.
Funding Information
Authors of an abstract describing a study funded by an organization with a proprietary or financial interest must identify the organization and affirm that they had full access to all the data in the study. By doing so, they accept complete responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis.
IRB Disclosure
It is the author’s responsibility to assure that all clinical investigations detailed in abstracts are conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Authors must also document that these studies have been approved by the appropriate institutional human research committee. Identifying information for study participants should not be published within written descriptions, photographs or pedigrees or test results. If such information is included as essential scientific information, the authors must submit written consent of patient of guardian to publish such information in the proceedings of this meeting.
Animal Care and Use Disclosure
It is the author’s responsibility to assure that all experimental procedures are in compliance with the guiding principles in the “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” available online at: http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=5140
Authors must document that their studies were approved by the appropriate institutional animal care and oversight committee and have available documentation that these studies were approved.

Additional Abstract Information
Review Process
The ASBMR is sensitive to issues of commercial confidentiality and relevant aspects of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. Therefore, all ASBMR reviewers are required to adhere to the SEC regulations and treat all information as confidential. ASBMR abstract reviewers are instructed that they may be viewed as an “insider” by the SEC due to their knowledge of information included in abstracts, particularly clinical trial abstracts. All ASBMR abstract reviewers are required to adhere to confidentiality agreements prior to receiving abstracts.
In addition to protecting the confidentiality of any material received, reviewers must record their conflict(s), if any, and abstain from scoring the abstract(s) if any conflict of interest arises.
Abstracts will be peer-reviewed, according to category. All abstracts are entered into the ASBMR Abstracts Database. The information from each abstract is captured within different fields in the Database. To ensure absolute impartiality in the reviewing process, a “blinded” copy of each abstract will be generated for the review process. “Blinded” copies will not include author or institutional field information, but rather the title and body of your abstract only. The abstract reviewers will score abstracts based on the merit of the submission only.
Program Assignment Notification
By the end of June, you will receive an e-mail notifying you of your program assignment. It is the responsibility of the presenting author/submitter to notify the other authors of the program assignment. Please note: Program Assignment Letters are e-mailed to the presenting author and the email address used during submission. Please ensure the presenting author will have access to the email address used in the submission when notifications are sent by ASBMR staff. If the email address has changed, please reach out to abstracts@asbmr.org.
Withdrawal
All requests to withdraw an abstract must be received in writing at the ASBMR Business Office. Abstracts may not be withdrawn after August 9, 2024, unless an acceptable explanation is received. An acceptable reason for withdrawal is the inability to reproduce data in the abstract. The abstract submission fee is non-refundable.
