Eligibility

In principle, the first author must be a member of the Japanese Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (JSTCT) at the time of abstract submission. However, this excludes residents and undergraduate students (who must submit a separate certificate), and those who belong to institutions or organizations outside Japan.

To submit an abstract, the following criteria must be met:
The content of the submitted abstract must fit into one of the JSTCT2023 Abstract Review Categories.
Abstracts with the same content as a paper already submitted to a journal will be accepted for submission if it has not yet been published.
Abstracts presented at other conferences will be accepted if the language of the abstract and presentation is different (e.g., English ⇆ Japanese).
However, abstract with the same contents as a presentation at other conferences will not be accepted.

Any of the following criteria will make an abstract ineligible for presentation:
The same content has already been published in an academic journal at the time of abstract submission.
The same content has already been presented in other academic meetings at the time of abstract submission.
