Overview • the clarity of the abstract - is it clear what is being described and how it was achieved or performed • the relevance of the abstract subject matter to the field of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation • If the abstract describes a research project are the results available for presentation • Remember that it will be possible to ask authors who do not have English as a first language to correct or amend the language/spelling in the abstract if that is necessary. • Not all abstracts need to be research project but can reflect innovations in practice and care.
