LYON25 ABSTRACTS MANAGEMENT TEXT
Abstract Submission for the 24th EFORT Congress to be held in Lyon, France from 11 to 13 June 2025,
is now closed and all abstracts are under revision.
ABSTRACT ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION NOTIFICATIONS: FRIDAY 31 JANUARY 2025
THE REVIEW PROCESS
Abstract Submission is now closed and all abstracts received for the EFORT Congress Lyon 2025 Scientific Programme are currently under review by our EFORT Science Committee appointed topic experts through our abstract submission and management online platform: https://scientific.efort.org/efort2025.
Each year, members of the worldwide orthopaedics and traumatology community share with EFORT abstracts with compelling clinical and experimental results from different levels of scientific knowledge, as well as many systematic reviews. After the closure of online submission, the EFORT Science Committee selects the best work to be showcased in the congress abstract-based sessions.
To obtain a legitimate average score and a standard deviation that allows correct assessment of the scores’ variability, every abstract receives a minimum of three scores performed by three different reviewers. A pool of dedicated reviewers with outstanding medical and educational handle the scoring with extreme professionalism.
The review of abstracts submitted for the upcoming EFORT Congress to be held from 11 to 13 June 2025 in Lyon, France, will be performed as a blind process that is carried out exclusively through our official online scientific platform by beginning of 2025. During this process, abstracts are scored based on different parameters, as follows:
- scientific and clinical value;
- relevance to the orthopaedics and traumatology (O&T) community’s needs;
- suitability of methods to aims;
- confirmation of conclusions by results;
- objectivity of statements; and
- originality of the work and overall added value to the current knowledge in the field.
On top of these general principles, additional criteria are graded on point scales, such as problem description, design, control group, materials, methods, results and conclusions.
All review criteria are evaluated independently and reviewers base their scores only on the information contained in the abstract (no estimates or projections allowed). The mean score is used as the cut-off point for acceptance.
EFORT reserves the right to reject your abstract if previously presented and/or change the main category and/or the type of presentation of your abstract(s).
Please note that registered participant can have a maximum of six abstracts (three orals and three posters) accepted within the scientific programme of the congress.
Any specific query related to abstract submission can be addressed by email to [email protected].
