Submit Abstract
There is no limit to the number of abstracts an author may submit, but abstracts based on the same study or dataset should not be duplicated.
All submissions will undergo review by the Scientific Committee, which reserves the right to decide on the final decision of result.
Submitter of accepted abstracts must complete registration and payment as a delegate by 29th May 2026 to present their work during the conference.
The BJMS is an open access journal under the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Malaysia Sabah.
Selected abstracts may be invited for publication as full papers in a special edition of the Borneo Journal of Medical Sciences (BJMS).
Authors will be notified accordingly, and final manuscripts following the journal's submission guidelines are to be submitted by 14th August 2026.
The Objective and Conclusion need to be consistent with those in the main text and should use the same wording. The results should present the main outcomes of the study using specific numerical data (e.g., absolute numbers and/or rates) with appropriate indicators of statistical uncertainty, such as 95% confidence intervals or p values. P values should never be presented alone without the actual data that are being compared. Do not use reference citations in the abstract. Abbreviations should be minimized and, if used, must be defined within the abstract by full terminology followed by abbreviation in parenthesis.
For medical terms such as proper nouns, generic names of medicines, and units of measurement, use the original term. The use of acronyms and abbreviations is discouraged and should be kept to a minimum. When used, they are to be defined where first used, followed by the acronym or abbreviation in parentheses. Measurements and laboratory values should be in accordance with the International System of Units (SI).
Ensure correct use of the terms sex (when reporting biological factors) and gender (identity, psychosocial or cultural factors), and, unless inappropriate, report the sex or gender of study participants, the sex of animals or cells, and describe the methods used to determine sex or gender. If the study was done involving an exclusive population, for example in only one sex, authors should justify why, except in obvious cases (e.g., prostate cancer). Authors should define how they determined race or ethnicity and justify their relevance.
The names and locations (city and state or country) of manufacturers of equipment and non-generic drugs should be given.
Ensure that all changes, corrections, and proofreading have been carried out before submission.
