Hi all,
I recently submitted a conference abstract (which can't be changed once submitted), but I have done some further analyses using a different statistical model that yields some quite different (but more valid) results.
Any tips on what is best to do / anyone know how this kind of thing works?
Thanks!
Makes sense. What about the conference abstract? They're not usually published at this conference, but this year it says they'll be made available in the online program.
I'm thinking I might have to withdraw it, if they won't let me change it.
Who reads conference abstracts from conferences from other conferences? They will likely make a book of abstracts that isn't easily indexable and will be quite hard to find. The risk that someone reads your abstract that correctly used a statistical method (be it the wrong model) and comes to the wrong conclusion, is frankly minimal. If you worried, just focus on getting the results with the right model published as quickly as possible.
There are people who turn up to conferences with worse abstracts.
Phew - thanks. That is half my nerves settled (I have no idea how I actually slept last night).Now it's about having the balls to tell my mentor (at least as I see her) and co-author on this that I got it wrong / didn't do it thoroughly enough (i.e., checking out the models and trying other things) and here are the new results...
Cheers. I've sent the email now. It should be fine. The results aren't actually that different (just a bit of a shocker when you realise you should have done something but didn't!)
All the best Tudor!
But you can just inform the conference organisers that I have updated results, incase you can replace the abstract...they usually do that, it's just they make it seem impossible so that all participants are not always emailing with changes :-)
