CSRC Abstract Submission

Thank you for considering submitting your original research or case study to the CSRC. We follow the Respiratory Care Journal guidelines when it comes to submission of abstracts as listed below. You will receive feedback to prepare your abstract for acceptance. You can submit research that has been shared at other conferences, however, it will not be considered for one of our awards. Please see the guidelines below, submit your abstract via the survey monkey link where you will also be able to submit questions.

Original research:
Original research will be considered for presentation at the CSRC Southern California State Conference. This original research must contain the following:
  1. Title, list of authors and their institutions
  2. Background with research question or hypothesis
  3. Methods describing your research design, statistical analysis used, and IRB review with approval or deemed not research with associated IRB number.
  4. Results describing summary of findings with data
  5. Conclusion that interprets the results
  6. Conflicts of interest
Case Reports:
Interesting and novel case reports will be considered for presentation at the CSRC Southern California State Conference. Case report abstracts must describe a single case and contain the following components:
  1. Title, list of authors and their institutions
  2. Introduction that presents to the reader to the case
  3. Description of the case with pertinent diagnostic and assessment data
  4. Discussion that includes the novelty and importance of the specific case
Author Guidelines:
  • Submission of an abstract constitutes the authors’ commitment to present the abstract as accepted.
  • The abstract is the only evidence by which reviewers judge the validity of the work. Give specific information. Do not include general statements such as ‘significance will be discussed.’
  • Abstracts may have two tables and/or figures total.
  • Common abbreviations may be used without explanation.
  • Total abstract length may not exceed 2,500 characters (this does not include the title or authors).
  • Studies that include human subjects must indicate that approval was received from the appropriate local IRB or Ethics Committee; this includes prospective studies, retrospective studies, observational studies, surveys, and quality assurance projects.
  • All authors are responsible for ensuring compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This applies to information in all parts of the abstract (text, photo, or radiograph) that could identify a patient.
  • Studies involving animals must indicate that the research was conducted in accordance with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) guidelines.
Conflicts of Interest
  • Abstracts submitted by industry will not be accepted.
  • All authors must disclose all industry relations for the previous 2 years. It is expected that some authors will have financial and other ties to commercial entities related to products, services, or other aspects of the abstract, either at the time of the submission or previously. We do not consider such potential conflicts of interest to be unethical. However, failure to fully disclose such potential conflicts is unethical.
  • If the study was conducted in an industry laboratory, that must be disclosed.
  • Abstracts will not be accepted if ghost written.
  • Abstracts will not be accepted if there is an appearance of industry bias, whether or not conflict of interest has been disclosed.
