For BPC 2008, abstracts may only be submitted online at www.bpc2008.org. Please note that paper abstracts will not be accepted. Contributions should relate to original, previously unpublished work in those sciences that contribute to the development, preparation, use and evaluation of medicinal substances. They may be a self-contained report of a complete piece of research, or a report of work in progress. Contributions should be in one of the following areas of pharmaceutical science: |

| ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ABSTRACT | ||||
| Your abstract will be acknowledged via an automated service. Each submission will be assigned a unique abstract number which must be quoted on any correspondence. | ||||
| ACCEPTANCE | ||||
|
Abstracts will be reviewed for acceptance, in consultation with the Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences and collaborating science organisations. The corresponding author will be notified of the outcome, the date and the format (poster or podium) of the presentation by Friday 23rd of May. If you have not heard from us by this date, please contact the BPC secretariat at bpcscience@rpsgb.org The corresponding author is responsible for notifying these details to other authors, including the presenting author. Abstracts once accepted for publication can not be changed, except as identified by the evaluation panel, and can not be withdrawn, except with the consent of the Conference Secretariat.
The Secretariat will endeavour to offer the format preferred by the Corresponding Author but this can not be guaranteed. Some presenters may be invited to present their work in both poster and oral formats. |

Submitted abstracts must conform to the requirements for science abstracts. Those wishing to be considered for presentation at this session should indicate this by selecting this option on the on-line submission. | ||||
| PUBLICATION | ||||
| All accepted abstracts presented at the conference will be published in a supplement to the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology (JPP) and will be available at the conference.

| LICENCE TO PUBLISH | ||||
| Copyright of the submitted abstract will remain with the author(s) but in order to publish the abstract the publisher will require all authors of each abstract to grant a licence to publish. Formal written agreement is not required but authors are advised that by submitting an abstract for the BPC the publishers will consider that authors have read the licence and agree to accept its terms should the abstract be accepted for publication.
