Guidelines for Submitting Concurrent Scientist Papers
Due to the emphasis on the general session Science Panels, the competitive scientist papers have been eliminated. All scientists will have the opportunity to present a competitive or noncompetitive poster. Friday afternoon has been reserved for Concurrent Scientist Paper Sessions on the four Contemporary Issues. There is only time for twelve papers concerning each issue. The ARD has proposed that scientists who feel that their research is cutting edge and worthy of being in this select group must submit a two page executive summary of their work to be presented. The ARD will select twelve scientists from the candidates in each Issue Area to make oral presentations. Scientists not selected will be encouraged to make poster presentations. Selected papers will be included in the Proceedings.
1. Paper Format - Submissions are limited to two pages on standard 8.5 x 11" paper (portrait) with 1" margins on all sides. Character fonts should be 12 point type and single spaced. Do not include a title page or use the back side of a sheet. Only the first two pages will be accepted.2. Heading and Title - The Issue Area must be typed in the upper right corner. The first letter of each word in the title is capitalized. In multi-authored abstracts, the name of presenter must be followed by an asterisk (*). Use first names or initials before last names. List department, institution, and mailing address. See example below.
