Grading information and selection of abstracts

Abstracts submitted by 31st  of January  2010, will be posted to a secure website for review.  The World Spine V  Scientific Program Committee will appoint a team to grade and assign each abstract with a score for oral presentation and  e-poster presentation.  The final score is a mean of all the submitted scores.  The Abstracts are ranked from 1 (Rejected ) to 10 (Excellent).

The Scientific Program Committee will then gather all the abstracts with acceptable scores to determine the type of presentation of each abstract.  The format will be at the discretion of the Scientific Program Committee.
