Withdrawing an Abstract

Abstract Withdrawal Deadline - Monday, October 6

Prior to the abstract submission deadline of 11:59 pm on September 5, a submitter can withdraw his/her abstract by returning to the submission site.

If a situation arises that requires an abstract to be withdrawn after the submission deadline, contact the ABRCMS staff immediately by e-mail (rrodela@asmusa.org).

All accepted abstracts that will not be presented at the conference must be withdrawn by the abstract withdrawal deadline of October 6. Failure to withdraw an abstract may result in disciplinary action.

Correcting an Abstract

Changes or corrections can only be made to an abstract by returning to the submission site before the abstract submission deadline of September 5. Always use the same login name and password each time you visit the site. This will ensure that only one account exists. After September 5, no changes or corrections can be made to an abstract.

Typical Errors

In the “review my work” section, at the end of the submission process, check for the following common errors:

• Duplicate title and/or author block. If this occurs, it is most likely caused by the title and/or author block being uploaded into the abstract text box. These must be entered separately in the title and author sections. Delete the title and author block from the abstract text section.

• Only one author is listed in the author block. You must return to the author block section and enter the name(s) of your research mentor, program director, and/or all other co-authors. Abstracts with only one author in the author block will be automatically rejected.

• The title, author block and/or abstract is in all caps, bold, italics, or underlined. Do not use bold text or put in ALL CAPS. Only scientific names should be in italics.

• The same university/organization affiliation is listed more than once in the author block. This is due to the same institution being entered differently. Double check that common affiliations are typed in exactly the same manner each time.
