Abstract Withdrawal

Prior to the abstract submission deadline of September 8, 2006, a submitter can withdraw his/her abstract by returning to the submission site. If a circumstance arises that requires an abstract to be withdrawn after the submission deadline, contact the ABRCMS staff immediately by e-mail at rrogalski@asmusa.org.

The abstract withdrawal deadline is October 16, 2006. Failure to withdraw an abstract before conference material is printed may result in disciplinary action.

Abstract Corrections

Changes or corrections can only be made to an abstract by returning to the submission site before the abstract submission deadline of September 8, 2006. Remember to always use the same login name and password each time you use the system. This will ensure that only one account exists.

Typical Errors

In the abstract summary, at the end of the submission process, check for the following common errors:

• Duplicate title and/or author block. If this occurs, it is most likely caused by the title and/or author block being uploaded into the abstract text box. These must be entered separately in the title and author sections. Delete the duplicate section from the incorrect page.

• Only one author is listed. You must return to the author section and enter the names of your research advisor, program director, and all other co-authors. Abstracts with only one author will be rejected.

• The title is in all caps, bold, italics, or underlined. Only the first letter of each word should be capitalized. Do not use bold text or ALL CAPS. Only scientific names should be in italics.

• The same affiliation is listed more than once in the author block. This is due to the same institution being entered differently. Double check that common affiliations are typed inexactly the same manner each time.
