Submission Rules & Guidelines
All authors will be asked to approve the following statement when submitting an abstract: "I have read, understand and agree to the submission rules and guidelines." Your abstract will not be programmed if this box has not been checked.
- Abstracts must be submitted with the intention that they will be presented if
programmed. Presenting authors should not submit abstracts if they do not plan to attend the meeting.
- A complete abstract should include a statement of purpose, methods used, and a summary of results in sufficient detail to support the conclusion. Statements such as "results will be described" should be avoided.
- Abstracts will appear in the program
book exactly as
submitted, i.e., no corrections, additions, revisions or deletions
can be made by the GSA staff. Only the submitting author may make
revisions and corrections via the online abstract submission
program. All revisions must be made no later than the October 17, 2014, revision deadline. Please proof your text carefully before submitting.
- All abstracts submitted will be
assigned either a platform or poster presentation at the
discretion of the meeting organizers and the Planning Committee.
The Committee reviews all abstracts submitted for presentation
and determines whether an abstract is better suited for platform
or poster presentation. Because platform presentation requests
exceed platform presentation slots, authors should be prepared
to present a poster if their abstract is not selected for a
platform presentation.
Abstract Revisions
All revisions must be completed before midnight,
October 27, 2014, U.S. East Coast time. Revisions will not be accepted after this date.
Abstract Withdrawals
The presenting author can withdraw their
abstract on the abstract revision website. Withdrawal requests (from
the presenting author only) should be made by midnight, US Eastern
Standard Time on or before October 27, 2014. The author will need
their last name, abstract control number and personal id number to
enter the revision program. All abstracts will be published
and cannot be removed from publication after October 27, 2014.
