5th International Conference on Pharmaceuticals, Nutraceuticals and Cosmetic Science (IPNaCS 2017)
AUTHOR GUIDANCE
1. Please, first of all, register for the conference at Step 1 of the Participants section. Distinguished and invited speakers will do so at the Speakers section.
2. You will be able to communicate your work via poster or presentation and also submit an abstract alone or an abstract with a minipaper. All abstracts will be put in the abstract book ready for the conference. The minipapers, which will be pubished online in the supplement issue of Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences cited in Scopus, are intended to provide researchers or Master's degree (MSc) students with a place to disseminate their research work for various resons, e.g graduation, job evaluation and promotion, etc.
3. This conference covers six research areas:
1) Pharmaceutical chemistry and natural products
2) Pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical technology
3) Pharmacology and toxicology
4) Pharmaceutical biotechnology
5) Neutraceuticals and alternative medicine
6) Social pharmacy and pharmacy practice.
Please select only one area of research when you submit your abstract.
4. You, as a presenter or corresponding author, can submit only two abstracts (with or without minipapers), such as one oral and one poster presentations.
5. Go to Step 4 of the Participants section to submit your abstract as soon as possible or by June 23, 2017. The abstract should be original and not previously published elsewhere. Please prepare an abstract using the abstract template (abstract_template.doc) with the presenter's name underlined and max. 350 words. Then save the file as "AB-your full name.doc or docx". For instance, your name as a presenter on behalf of her research team is Dr. Somchai Anantoma, so the abstract file should be saved as "AB-Somchai Anantoma.doc" or "AB-Somchai Anantoma.docx". The complete the abstract page prior to submission. If you have any difficulties in the abstract completion, please contact Dr. Win Winit-Watjana at [email protected]
6. OPTIONAL: In case you would like to submit a minipaper together with the relevant abstract, just download the template (minipaper_template.doc) and amend the content as you wish. However, please keep the format 'as is', i.e. headings, fonts and font sizes and limit it to four A4 pages only. Any minipapers longer than four A4 pages will be rejected or returned to the authors for correction. Details of the minipaper include:

However, please keep the format 'as is', i.e. headings, fonts and font sizes and limit it to four A4 pages only. Any minipapers longer than four A4 pages will be rejected or returned to the authors for correction. Details of the minipaper include:
Title – A capital letter is used for the first word followed by small letters, except for articles and prepositions.
Authors’ details – Same as the abstract.
Keywords – Same as the abstract, i.e. 3 - 5 keywords are required.
Introduction – Provide brief information about relevant problems, the interesting gaps/niches, and rationale for the study. Specify the objectives of the study clearly.
Methods – May write this section in a structured format with various subheading or in a conventional one with 1 – 3 paragraphs including, for instance, study design, materials, date and method of data collection, population and sample(s), study instrument, data analysis and ethical approval (if necessary).
Results – As with the Methods, this section can be presented as structured or conventional findings. It may be combined with discussion to form a section “Results and Discussion”; this depends on the discipline. Present actual results of research. Forthcoming results, results in preparation, or simple descriptions of processes being implemented are discouraged and will not be considered by the panel. One or more tables or figures can be included as appropriate. However, the title or legend of a table should be placed above the table, whereas that of a figure is beneath the figure.
Discussion – Compare or contrast the findings with other studies. In case of a new piece of research without previous evidence, just simply discuss the results.
Csonclusion – Draw a conclusion from the findings against the research questions or objectives. Recommendations for future tudies or practice may be included as appropriate.
References – Use the Vancouver style of referencing – NLM style as summarized in the book “Citing medicine: the NLM style guide for authors, editors, and publishers [Internet]. 2nd ed. Patrias K, Wendling D, editors. Bethesda (MD): National Library of Medicine; 2007-2012”. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK7256/)
As a wide variety of journals have been used, full journal names are preferred to trace the references. Authors may cite up to 20 references as needed. In the text, put a superscript number at the beginning, middle or the end of the sentence. Place the number after a full stop if citing the whole sentence. References to books, journal articles, and other sources should be listed at the end of the paper in numbered order based on the NLM style.
Other recommendations: The genus and species names of plants or animals must be italicized and their family name should be given. Additionally, measurable units should be written in the conventional format with the SI units in the brackets

After completing the minipaper, save it as "MP-your full name.doc or docx. For example, Dr. Somsri Saksitha is the presenter on behalf of her research team. Thus, the file should be saved as "MP-Somsri Saksitha.doc" or "MP-Somsri Saksitha.docx". Also upload the minipaper file on the abstract page (Step 4)
7. The abstract and minipaper will be reviewed by at least two reviewers of the Scientific Committee. You will be informed of the abstract acceptance roughly one week after submission, but it might take longer time for a minipaper, i.e. up to 1 - 2 months, due to its complexity.
8. For a presenter, please remember to register before submitting an abstract. If you decide not to participate in the conference, please let us know as soon as possible so that we could remove your abstract from the abstract book prior to publication.
