Instructions for Abstract Submission
|
|
Abstracts are to be submitted
by E-mail only to brhame@teratology.org. If E-mail submission is
impossible for any reason, please contact Becca Rhame at (703) 438-3104.
The preferred method is as an attached Word document. If you must
use a different format please contact Becca Rhame at the telephone
number or email address above.
- Abstracts should be no more than 2300 characters
in length—not including Title, Authors or Institutions.
This limit does include all text, spaces and punctuation.
- Font size must be 11 point Arial.
- Do not indent the title. State authors' names
using initials only for first and middle names. Include institution,
city and state/country. Omit degrees, titles, institutional appointments,
street addresses and zip codes. Underline the abstract title.
(See sample format on next page.)
- The text of the abstract should consist of a
single paragraph and start with a single tab indentation. The
abstract should be factual and informative. It should adequately
summarize the paper to be presented, including results and conclusions.
Do not indicate that "results will be presented."
- If an abstract includes mathematical or structural
chemical formulae, tables, figures or other special layout, the
author must fax a copy to (703) 438-3113 by the deadline to ensure
accuracy of the final abstract. Please include a phone number
and/or E-mail address so that we can contact the sender if necessary.
The committee reserves the right to change layout or notation
that cannot be properly converted into the format used for final
printing.
- The use of standard abbreviations is desirable
(e.g., rbc, kg, mg). A special or unusual abbreviation should
be placed in parentheses after the first appearance of the full
word which it represents. Numerals rather than words should indicate
numbers, except to begin sentences.
- All late-breaking abstracts presented at the
2007 Annual Meeting will be available on-site.
- For questions or further instructions, send an
E-mail message to brhame@teratology.org or telephone (703) 438-3104.
