Info for Authors

Call for Abstracts submission form

Abstracts may be submitted online from October 14-31, 2008.

Instructions

  1. Prepare your abstract following the guidelines provided by the MARC2009 Steering Committee. You will save considerable time abiding by these guidelines now, as we will ask you to make corrections to documents with incorrect formatting. Common mistakes include: too many figures, figures that do not render correctly, incorrect usage of grammar, incorrect formatting of footnotes, and abstracts that continue onto a second page. This is the single most important step in the whole process!
  2. On the Abstract Submission Form page, enter your name and e-mail address EXACTLY as you provided it during the Call for Titles. If you gave an incorrect address, please contact us so we can help you! We use your e-mail address as a unique ID to tie your submission to all of your other details.
  3. Submit only a Word document with the .doc extension. Please do not simply rename the .dot file extension to .doc. Doing so can cause problems.

Deadlines?

Titles accepted on or before 5 PM: October 31, 2008 (no late submissions accepted).
