These instructions will also be online for your reference when submitting your abstract via the Web. For those without Web access, we have provided a way for you to submit your abstract to us via floppy diskette.
We look forward to your participation in the 2001 AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition. The preliminary program/registration booklet for this meeting will be available in June. If you have any questions, please contact the AAPS office, 2107 Wilson Blvd., Suite 700, Arlington, VA 22201. phone: 703-243-2800; fax: 703-243-5582.
Sincerely,
Ronald T. Borchardt, Ph.D.
AAPS President
All submissions must be made electronically by using the online submission form or by sending a 3.5" floppy diskette. Faxed submissions will not be accepted.
All abstract submissions are required to be structured under these headings:
Abstracts that are not organized in this manner will not be reviewed. If you have questions about the content or topic placement of your abstract, contact AAPS at 703-248-4792.
The maximum size for your abstract is 300 words (excluding title and author block). If you include a graphic or table, reduce the character count accordingly (1000 characters + 2 x 3.25" graphic, for example). Please use Times New Roman for text and symbol font for symbols only. The font size used does not matter.
Authors may include tables and graphics in the abstract, as long as they fit within the size requirement. When submitting your abstract electronically, you must include the original graphic files even if you have embedded them in the abstract text. You do not need to submit tables in a separate file.
Graphic files must be either GIF or JPEG (JPG) format. Remember that your graphic will be printed in a 3.25" wide column. Make certain that your graphic is clear and readable at this size. Graphics must have 300 dpi resolution for clear reproduction.
Please choose your topic carefully. The topic chosen for your abstract will be used for assignment into poster sessions. No changes can be made after the assignment.
Acceptance of the abstract for presentation will be based on the concise, accurate presentation of new data. Criteria for rejection include lack of data, commerciality, inconsistent or ambiguous data, reviews of literature, lack of novelty or innovation, or failure to follow format guidelines.
It is imperative that the data is presented in the results section so that AAPS screeners can judge the scientific value of your abstract.
The submission of multiple abstracts covering the same or similar work is discouraged. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit one strong abstract instead of several abstracts presenting the work in Part I, Part II, Part III, etc. Abstracts submitted in this fashion will be rejected.
Submission of an abstract to AAPS assigns all rights, titles, and interests, including copyright, to the Association, and the Association will have and may exercise all rights of whatever kind or nature in the work that now or may hereafter be protected by the copyright laws of the United States of America and all foreign countries.
All scientific presentations at AAPS-sponsored events must adhere to the highest standards of scientific ethics, including appropriate acknowledgements or references to sources, both scientific and financial, and the absence of promotional content or endorsement of commercial products. Conflicts of interest should be disclosed.
It is the responsibility of the author(s) to obtain all necessary permissions and clearances for all research prior to submission of the abstract. AAPS assumes no liability or responsibility for the publication of any material that is submitted.
When using the online submission form you will receive immediate confirmation with your control number included. Print this confirmation for future reference. This notification only confirms that your submission was received and is not a notification of acceptance. Please review this confirmation for spelling, grammar and symbols.
All contributed papers to be presented at the 2001 AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition will be organized and presented by topic. The Screening Committee will use universal review criteria and reserves the right to request additional data if deemed necessary during the review process.
Final assignment to poster or podium presentations will be made at the discretion of the screeners and according to the topic chosen by the authors.
When you use the online submission form, you will be supplied with a secure login and password. Use your login and password after July 5, 2001 to check the disposition (acceptance or rejection) of your abstract. The online system will present a formatted acceptance or rejection notice for each abstract you submitted.
If you did not use the online submission form, you will be mailed a notification of acceptance or non-acceptance on July 5, 2001. Notifications will be sent to the contact author only.
Revisions to your abstract will not be allowed after submission. Please proofread and spell check your abstract carefully before submitting it.

A simple two-step process for submitting your abstract is provided.
Note: Failure to adhere to these format requirements will result in rejection of the abstract.

We strongly recommend that you submit your abstract in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect format (Windows or Macintosh).
