Acceptance of abstracts will be confirmed only if the presenting author has registered to take part in the PROMISE Conference.

The deadline for submitting Abstracts is the 10th July 2026, but we may consider late submissions. Please contact william@promiseconference.co.uk with any requests. Please do not send any late submissions without prior approval.

Abstract Format

File uploads should be in Word Format.

Abstract Structure:

• Title

• Authors

• Authors’ affiliations

• Email address of the corresponding author

• The abstract itself should be organized into the following sections: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Conclusion, and should be between 250 and 350 words in length.

• and may contain either one figure or one table.

The abstract should be self-contained and should consist of text only. It should not contain any figures and tables should be included only if absolutely necessary. Abstracts should contain new information, either in the form of original research data or as a novel insight into an established issue. Abstracts reporting original research MUST include sufficient data to support any conclusion reached. The abstract should present information rather than saying what will be presented, i.e. they should not contain statements such as “Results from a series of interviews and focus groups with athletes will be presented. These results will be compared to those obtained from other groups.” It is also not satisfactory to simply describe what was found (such as, “the treatment group increased their subjective wellbeing more than the control group”) without including data to support such statements or to only include statistical results (such as, “associations were significant at p < .05”) without specific information on the findings.

Edited abstracts will be reproduced in the Conference proceedings book.

Selected Abstracts will be edited and published in “Sports Psychiatry – Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychiatry.”
