General Guidelines for Abstracts
 
nola convention center 
Following are some general guidelines for individuals interested in submitting an abstract(s): 

 ·         Abstracts must be submitted online. Faxed or posted abstracts will not be considered.

·         The abstract must NOT contain more than 300 words. 
 
·         All abstracts must be submitted in English. If you are not fluent in English, please attempt to have your abstract reviewed by a fluent English speaker.
 
·         It is the responsibility of the presenting author to ensure accuracy of content, spelling, and presentation. Abstracts will be published as submitted, subject to reformatting that may be required by IAPAC.

·         Tables, figures, literature references, and acknowledgements should not form any part of the abstract's content. The author is responsible for all grammatical and factual details. No revisions will be accepted after the initial submission.
 
·         The interdisciplinary nature of the conference delegates should be kept in mind when writing the abstract, and sub-specialty jargon should be avoided. Define all abbreviations and concepts in your abstract at first use. For therapeutic agents, only generic names may be used (trade names are not permitted).
 
·         Acceptable abstracts shall contain a concise statement of the research, define the precise subject of the presentation, and always be related to the main theme or a sub-theme of the conference.
 
·         Submitted abstracts should report information not previously published, or intended to be published, prior to November 30, 2009.
