Submission guidelines
Everything you need to know before submitting. Please read them in full: the organisers reserve the right to reject abstracts that do not follow the required format.
This translation has not yet been reviewed by a native speaker. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish version prevails.
Deadlines: submissions open from January 2027; communications and posters close on 15 June 2027, and acceptance is notified on 30 June 2027.
What you can submit
We accept research, innovation and professional practice work related to basketball. Submissions may be presented as an oral communication or as a poster. The final format is decided by the Scientific Committee Office, which may assign one other than the one requested.
Abstracts may be written in Spanish, Portuguese or English.
How many submissions per author
Each person may submit a maximum of two works. The platform checks this when authors are added and will not allow it to be exceeded.
All listed authors must be registered for the congress for an accepted submission to be presented and published. The platform does not verify payment: it is declared on submission and the congress office checks it against the registration list.
Abstract format
The abstract fits on one A4 page (210 × 297 mm) in two columns of justified text, with 15 mm left and right margins, 20 mm top and bottom, in Times New Roman 10 pt.
The title is in bold; authors and affiliations are centred at the top of the page. Use numeric superscripts to distinguish institutions, and include the email address of at least one author.
Download the abstract template (Word): write on it and keep its format.
Required sections
- Introduction
- Method
- Results and discussion, together or separate
- Conclusions, answering the objectives set out in the introduction
For professional practice and theoretical reviews these sections may be adapted. Acknowledgements are optional.
Review and publication
All submissions are reviewed by the Scientific Committee. Accepted abstracts are published in the congress book of abstracts, with an ISBN.
Depending on their scientific quality, submissions may be forwarded to one of the partner journals. You may state a preference when submitting, but the Scientific Committee will recommend the journal that best fits the content:
- E-balonmano.com. Revista de Ciencias del Deporte. JCR Q4 (2024, impact factor 0.50). Scopus/SJR: Q3 in Sport Sciences and Education (2025); Q1 in Cultural Studies. Dialnet C1 (2024).

- Basketball Studies. A new Elsevier journal with strong potential for international reach, given its focus on basketball and its publisher.
From 30 June 2027 we will announce the deadlines and conditions for submitting the communications as full articles to the proposed journal.
