Conference report: European Association for the Study of Diabetes

More than 2200 abstracts were submitted for consideration at the 2014 annual conference; of these, just over 50% were accepted for presentation. Follow-up of previous EASD conferences suggests that this high rejection rate reliably predicts the subsequent publication of full research papers in high-quality diabetes journals. Of necessity, given the wide variety of topics that were covered, this personal report is highly selective.
