Abstract Submission Guidelines
Abstracts are requested for consideration for spotlight and/or poster presentations for
the Second North American Congress of Epidemiology in Seattle, WA, a joint meeting
sponsored by the American College of Epidemiology, American Public Health Association Epidemiology Section and the Society for Epidemiologic Research and
co-sponsored or supported by 15 other Epidemiology societies. Accepted abstracts
will be distributed at the June meeting and will also be published in a supplement
issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology.
The following rules are Congress policies and must be adhered to precisely:
-
Abstracts are required to be submitted online: Please use the form located at
Begin the abstract in the box with a title, a complete list of authors (with presenter
noted with an asterisk), and the institution at which the work was done.
EXAMPLE: A study of Exposure to Disease. I Smith, *S. Jones, and P. Gold
(University, City, State, Zip Code.) Please leave a space between the heading
and the abstract.
-
A letter of notification of acceptance or rejection will be emailed to the authors
no later than April 30, 2006.
-
General Rules about the abstracts:
Please read these instructions carefully. Do not include figures, tables or mathematical
equations in the abstract. The abstract should not exceed 1,876
characters, which includes title and author information. Avoid acronyms.
If you use references, provide the journal, volume, year and page numbers.
Spell out abbreviations (including OR or RR) the first time you use them. If you
calculate confidence intervals, specify whether they are 90%, 95%, etc. Choose
a primary and up to two secondary topic areas from the list.
-
Presentation of specific data and methodologic details assist reviewers in judging
the quality of the research. New findings are of greater interest than confirmation
of known relations. Clarity and brevity of writing will allow evaluation of the
importance of the research. Abstracts are scored by two reviewers. An overall
acceptance proportion is applied to each subject area. The allocation of papers
therefore represents the number of abstracts submitted for the subject areas. All abstracts must be received in final form no later than February 3, 2006.
