Submission Deadline: September 3, 2007
Abstracts must be sent by email to Ms. Amy Amerson at
aamerson@scgcorp.com as a
Microsoft Word document by the deadline date listed above.
- The abstract should be typed single-spaced to fit standard abstract
measurements using type no smaller than 10 point (12 cpi). The
abstract’s title should be typed in CAPITAL LETTERS and should clearly
represent the nature of the investigation. The title should be followed
in lowercase letters by the authors’ first and last names, degree, and
affiliation (if applicable), city, state, and country. Underline the
primary author’s name (one primary author per abstract). Do not leave
spaces between the title and the body of the abstract, or between
paragraphs. Indent paragraphs three spaces. The abstract file should be
saved as: primary authors’ last name_first word in the title (e.g.,
Zucker_Effects).
- Please ensure that your abstract is the correct length. Set the
margins to the following using Microsoft Word: Top 1"; Bottom 1"; Left
1.5"; Right 1".
- Use of standard abbreviations is desirable (e.g., RBC). Use kg, gm,
mg, mL, L, and %. Place a special or unusual abbreviation in parentheses
after the full word the first time that it appears. Use numerals to
indicate numbers except to begin sentences. Do not use subtitles (e.g.,
Methods, Results).
- Simple tables or graphs may be included; however, they must fit
within the designated abstract space.
- Please use a common font such as Helvetica, Times New Roman, or
Arial.
- Your abstract must conform to the above guidelines, as incorrect
formatting could result in disqualification.
- Organize the body of the abstract as follows:
- Statement of the purpose of the study/program/project;
- Statement of the methods used;
- Summary of the results presented in sufficient detail to support the conclusion;
- Statement of the conclusions reached.
