Instructions for Authors

As stated in the ISCoS Constitution (paragraph 21,b), at least one author must be an Ordinary member or Associate member of the Society if papers are to be considered for presentation.

Usually only one paper will be accepted for platform presentation from an author or joint author. On rare occasions more than one paper will be accepted, when preference will be given to authors unlikely to be able to attend many annual meetings. More than one paper may be accepted from an author for poster presentation.


Please type your paper in English on the Abstract Form, to ensure there is no confusion on the spelling of names, addresses, titles of abstract, medical terminology, etc.

The title should be brief and identify clearly the nature of the study. The complete title should be in CAPITALS. Underline the name of the author who will present the study, ONLY. Do not include titles or degrees. Specify name and location of institution where the work was done. Follow the example below:

FLEXION MYELOPATHY OF THE CERVICAL SPINE

K. Mii, H. Iida, S Tachibana, K Yada

Dept of Neurosurgery, Sagamihara National Hospital, Kitasato University, Sagamihara, Japan

The entire text should fit within the framed outline of the Abstract Form. It will form part of the conference proceedings and should, therefore, be typed in reasonably sized typeface.

The body of the Abstract should be organised as follows:

a. A sentence stating the purpose of the study.
b. A brief description of the methods.
c. A summary of the results obtained.
d. A statement of the conclusions reached.

General statements, such as "The results will be discussed", are unacceptable.

Simple tables or graphs (drawn in black ink) may only be included if they fit within the format. Additional tables or graphs, photographs and half-tone drawings will not be accepted.

Non-proprietary (generic) names should be used and should be written in small letters. Proprietary names may be added in brackets.

Abstracts should be submitted electronically on the "Submit Abstract" tab on this site.
