Provide all information requested on the Abstract Author Information Form found below.
Abstracts should be word-processed using Times New Roman 12pt. font. Top, bottom, right, and left margins should be set at 1.5" using a standard 8.5" x 11" paper size. Type the title of the paper or project starting at the left margin. Left justify the paragraphs. Please do not save as a PDF.
On the next line, indent three (3) spaces and type the names of all authors, with the author who will make the presentation listed first. Type the last name, then initials (without periods), followed by a comma. Continue with the other authors (if any), ending with a colon. Indicate the institution (including city and province/state) where the research was conducted on the same line following the name(s) of the author(s).
Double space and begin typing the text of the abstract flush left, with single line spacing, in a single paragraph with no indention. Do not include tables or figures. Bold section headings: Introduction, Rationale, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Importance. Full results must be presented, including subject information and (if applicable) means, standard deviations, and full statistical information. The abstract must not exceed 400 words. Abstracts not conforming to submission directions are likely to be rejected.
Save two copies: The blinded copy document will be saved with just the title of your abstract. The non-blinded copy will be saved using the last name of the primary author and first initial followed by the title of the abstract.
