Abstract Submission Guidelines
These are the rules for the submission of papers to be evaluated by the Congress Scientific Committee for acceptance. Papers shall be sent only through the official website (see here); no other channels will be accepted. The Scientific Committee in turn will appoint a five-member Selection Committee in charge of selecting the papers.
From all the papers accepted for presentation, the Selection Committee will select 3 (three) Outstanding Papers, on the grounds of their relevance, originality, methodology and conclusions. In recognition, they will be awarded a digital Diploma and one complimentary registration to the next Pan-American Congress of Gastronterology per paper. The authors of a paper thus selected will agree on who will enjoy it, and kindly provide the beneficiary’s name to the OPGE Secretariat (secretaria@opge.org).
