Submit Your Research to the Universal Conference on Infectious Diseases

The Universal Conference on Infectious Diseases (UCID) welcomes researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals, scientists, academicians, students, and public health experts to submit high-quality abstracts for presentation at the conference.

Abstract submission provides an opportunity to present scientific research, clinical findings, innovative approaches, epidemiological studies, diagnostic advances, treatment strategies, and emerging developments in infectious diseases to an international audience. Selected abstracts may be considered for oral presentations, poster presentations, e-poster presentations, or other scientific sessions, subject to the conference review process.

Researchers are encouraged to prepare their abstracts according to the following abstract submission guidelines to ensure consistency, scientific quality, and efficient peer review.

Abstract Submission Guidelines

Authors should carefully follow all requirements before submitting an abstract.

1. Abstract Title

• The title should be concise, informative, and specific to the research.

• It should accurately reflect the content of the abstract.

• The title should generally be written in Title Case or sentence case consistently.

• The title should not contain unsupported conclusions or claims.

2. Author Information

Include the following information for all contributing authors:

• Full name of each author

• Department or research unit

• Institution/organization

• City and country

• Professional designation, where appropriate

• Email address of the corresponding author

The corresponding author will be responsible for communication regarding the abstract and presentation.

3. Recommended Abstract Structure

For scientific research, authors should organize the abstract using the following sections:

Background:
Briefly describe the scientific or clinical context, infectious disease problem, knowledge gap, or rationale for the study.

Objectives:
Clearly state the primary purpose, research question, or hypothesis of the study.

Methods:
Summarize the study design, population/sample, data collection methods, laboratory procedures, analytical techniques, or statistical methods used.

Results:
Present the principal findings of the study. Where applicable, include relevant numerical data, statistical findings, or clinically meaningful observations.

Conclusion:
State the principal conclusions supported by the results and, where relevant, explain their potential scientific, clinical, public-health, or research significance.

4. Word Limit

• The recommended abstract length is 250–300 words, excluding the title, author information, and keywords.

• Authors should avoid unnecessary background information and repetition.

• Abstracts exceeding the specified word limit may be returned to the authors for revision.

• Viral Diseases

• Bacterial Infections

• Molecular Diagnostics

• Public Health

• Infection Control

• Vaccination

• One Health

Keywords should accurately represent the subject of the submitted research.

• Use standard scientific abbreviations only where they are widely recognized.

• Define uncommon abbreviations at first use.

• Avoid excessive capitalization, special characters, and decorative formatting.

• Ensure that all numerical data and statistical information are accurate.

• Proofread the abstract carefully before submission.

• Ensure that author names and institutional affiliations are entered correctly.

Ethical Requirements

All submitted abstracts must comply with accepted principles of research integrity and publication ethics.

Where applicable:

• Studies involving human participants should have received appropriate ethical approval or institutional review approval before the research was conducted.
