All the three societies have sessions for presentation of original work and invite abstracts for this purpose. Abstracts for presentation for all the three societies should be submitted electronically at the conference website www.sgpgi.ac.in/conf/isg2001.html.
Authors who
do not have facilities for electronic submission may send a good quality
(laser or inkjet
printer output) to the Editor, Indian Journal of Gastroenterology, 23 Bombay
Mutual Terrace, 534 Sandhurst Bridge, Mumbai 400 007, who will arrange
for these to be submitted electronically. The last date for receipt of
abstracts will be July 31, 2001.
In the past, the authors were required to mail abstracts to (a) Secretary of the respective society, (b) Organizing Secretary of the conference and (c) Editor, Indian Journal of Gastroenterology. The electronic submission system obviates the need for such multiple mailings since the electronic version will be forwarded to all the intended recipients. The submission process will generate a confirmation screen indicating the text submitted. The authors may print it out for their future reference.
The electronic
submission format has the following fields into which the information has
to be typed:
a.

The maximum
permitted length is 150 characters. Use capital letter only for the first
character of the title. Don't capitalize the entire title or the first
