Research that has been sponsored by pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology companies is often presented at scientific and medical conferences. However, practices vary between organizations and it can be difficult to follow both individual conference requirements and good publication practice guidelines. Until now, no specific guidelines or recommendations have been available to describe best practice for conference presentations.This document was developed by a working group of publication professionals and uploaded to PeerJ Preprints for consultation prior to publication; an additional 67 medical societies, medical conference sites and conference companies were also asked to comment. The resulting recommendations aim to complement current good publication practice and authorship guidelines, outline the general principles of best practice for conference presentations and provide recommendations around authorship, contributorship, financial transparency, prior publication and copyright, to conference organizers, authors and industry professionals.While the authors of this document recognize that individual conference guidelines should be respected, they urge organizers to consider authorship criteria and data transparency when designing submission sites and setting parameters around word/character count and content for abstracts. It is also important to recognize that conference presentations have different limitations to full journal publications, for example, in the case of limited audiences that necessitate refocused abstracts, or where lead authors do not speak the local language, and these have been acknowledged accordingly. The authors also recognize the need for further clarity regarding copyright of previously published abstracts and have made recommendations to assist with best practice.By following Good Practice for Conference Abstracts and Presentations: GPCAP recommendations, industry professionals, authors and conference organizers will improve consistency, transparency and integrity of publications submitted to conferences worldwide.

会议摘要和演讲的良好做法：GPCAP

由制药，医疗设备和生物技术公司赞助的研究通常会在科学和医学会议上进行介绍。但是，组织之间的做法各不相同，因此可能很难同时满足各个会议的要求和良好的发布惯例准则。到目前为止，还没有具体的指南或建议来描述会议演示的最佳实践。本文档由出版专业人士工作组开发，并已上载到PeerJ Preprints进行出版前的咨询。还要求另外67个医学会，医学会议站点和会议公司发表评论。由此产生的建议旨在补充当前的良好出版规范和作者指南，概述会议演示的最佳做法的一般原则，并向会议组织者，作者和行业专业人士提供有关作者身份，撰稿人身份，财务透明度，事先出版和著作权的建议。尽管本文档的作者认识到应遵守各个会议的指导原则，他们敦促组织者在设计提交站点并设置单词/字符数和摘要内容的参数时，考虑作者标准和数据透明度。同样重要的是要认识到，会议介绍对完整期刊的出版有不同的限制，例如，在受众有限的情况下，需要重新聚焦摘要，或者主要作者不讲当地语言，并且这些都得到了相应的认可。
