1.1: Bioinformatics and chemoinformatics – transforming data into knowledge

1.2: Metabolomics and profiling technologies – data-driven exploration of the metabolome

1.3: Network- and polypharmacology – understanding the complex pharmacological properties of drugs of natural origin

1.4: The analytical challenge – hyphenation and miniaturization for accelerated identification of bioactive compounds from nature

Theme 2: Sources of bioactive compounds

2.1: Traditional medicine and medicinal plants

2.2: Marine natural products – exploring the treasure of the oceans

Abstracts submitted in other file formats or sent by fax, mail, email or other means will not be considered.

• Download JNPC2016 Abstract template in Microsoft Word .docx format here.
• Download JNPC2016 Abstract template in Microsoft Word .doc format here.

These templates contain styles (font, font-size, font-color, etc) for Title, Authors, Author affiliation, etc. For your inspiration, an example of a correctly prepared JNPC2016 Abstract template can be seen here:

• Exemplary JNPC2016 Abstract created in JNPC2016 Abstract template.docx

Abstracts should be concise and include results and discussion, i.e., sentences such as 'results will be presented' are not acceptable. Abstracts will be peer reviewed by the scientific committee, and submissions without definite results will not be accepted.

Guide to Abstract preparation from JNPC2016 Abstract template

Download one of the JNPC2016 Abstract templates from above and save it to your computers hard disk with the file name 'Theme x.x Presenting Author Name' - where Theme x.x refers to one of the topics listed above, e.g., Theme 1.1 for the theme Bioinformatics and chemoinformatics, and Presenting Author Name is the name of the presenting author.

Start preparing the abstract in the now renamed JNPC2016 Abstract template, by including the following:

Title – type in a short and concise title in the indicated field. A title should immediately tell the reader what the abstract is about. Chose style 'JNPC2016 Title' from the style selector in your Word processor

Author(s) - type in all contributing authors with full names referenced by numerical superscripts for affiliation, e.g., Bingrui Liu¹, Dan Staerk², etc. Presenting author should be underlined. [Style 'JNPC2016 Authors']

Affiliation(s) - type in numerical superscript for affiliation followed by the affiliation (Department, Institution, address, postal code and city, country). [Style 'JNPC2016 Author affiliations']

Abstract text - type in your abstract text using no more than 2000 characters. In case your abstract contains a picture, include it just below the Abstract text section. [Style 'JNPC2016 Abstract text']

Acknowledgements - type in acknowledgements. [Style 'JNPC2016 Acknowledgements']

References - type in references using numbered list with numbers in square brackets. [Style 'JNPC2016 Reference list']. Please use the below format for references or consult Guidelines for Authors of Planta Medica at http://www.thieme.de/de/planta-medica/journal-information-4809.htm.

Trute A, Nahrstedt A. Separation of rosmarinic acid enantiomers by three different chromatographic methods and the determination of rosmarinic acid in Hedera helix. Phytochem Anal 1996; 7: 204 – 208

Preferred presentation - mark whether you prefer an oral or a poster presentation of your abstract. There will be a limited number of short oral presentations for submitted abstracts. The decision of who will be offered an oral presentation will be taken by the local organizing committee after the peer review process.
