Call for Abstracts: This is a joint meeting of the UK and Nordic HESGs with papers on any relevant topic. Preference will be given to work-in-progress, first time presenters and PhD students. The HESG meeting will have the standard format with papers submitted in advance and introduced and reviewed by a discussant other than the author.
Please send a title and an abstract of up to 500 words of the proposed content by Tuesday, 3 June if you wish to have a paper considered. The following structure is preferred although a different structure would be acceptable if justified.
- Title, authors and contact details
- Aims
- Methods
- Data (if any)
- Results
- Conclusions
Please submit abstracts by e-mail, using the subject header “HESG abstract” and including the abstract in the BODY of the message to: heru-hesg@abdn.ac.uk
Selection criteria: Papers on any health economics topic will be considered. Please note that there is a restriction on the number of slots available for papers, and there is no guarantee that your abstract will be accepted. In the case of over-subscription, the scientific committee will select papers on the following basis:
- Only abstracts submitted before the deadline will be considered
- Papers with little or no economics content will be rejected
- Work-in-progress papers and those at an early stage of development are encouraged. Reproduced reports and papers (especially those written for other audiences) and reproduced book chapters will be rejected.
- Papers by PhD students are encouraged.
- Authors, or sets of authors (but not institutions or units), may be restricted to one paper.
- A balanced distribution of papers by UK and Nordic countries will be aimed for.
If all the above criteria are satisfied and the number of papers submitted still exceeds the number of slots available, papers will be selected on the basis of quality. Authors will be notified and the programme will be announced with an invitation for chairs & discussants on 24 June 2008.
Papers: If your abstract is accepted, we will be asking you to submit your paper in Word or PDF format as an e-mail attachment by Tuesday 29 July 2008.
