Abstract publication in JNIS

All accepted abstracts* will be published in the online supplement of JNIS, the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery, ESMINT’s official e-journal.

*except those previously published

JNIS assigns each abstract a DOI to try to improve its visibility on other platforms.

Individual abstracts of abstract books/conference proceedings are not indexed by PubMed. Generally, they are less accepted than journal articles in databases and indexes. Of the main indexers, Google Scholar do index them.

Assigning DOIs to individual meeting abstracts offers several benefits and BMJ only publish meeting abstracts with DOIs for the following benefits:

  • Permanent identification: DOIs provide a unique and permanent identifier for each abstract, ensuring that it can be easily located and cited over time.
  • Easier to cite: A DOI makes it easier for researchers to cite specific abstracts in their own work. It provides a stable link that others can use to access the abstract directly, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of citations.
  • Enhanced visibility: DOIs can improve the visibility of meeting abstracts in academic databases and search engines. Some databases prioritize content with DOIs, making it more likely that the abstract will be discovered and accessed by researchers.
  • Integration with reference management tools: Many reference management tools, such as Zotero or EndNote, are designed to work seamlessly with DOIs. Providing a DOI for each abstract makes it more convenient for researchers to add the abstract to their reference libraries.
