Abstract Rules:
Intermountain Branch - ASM Abstract Rules.
Abstracts that do not
state the following should be rejected (but the Branch will not):
·
No Hypothesis - The abstract does not clearly
indicate the reason for conducting the research and the questions being tested
by the experiments performed.
·
Inadequate Experimental Methods - The investigators
failed to describe procedures used or neglected to include important or
essential controls.
·
Insufficient Data Presented - The investigators
failed to show the outcome(s) of their research. Insufficient data are presented to support the author’s
conclusions(s).
·
No Summary Form of Essential Results - The
investigators failed to concisely summarize the result(s) of their research.
·
No Conclusion - The investigators failed to
describe the conclusions of their research with regard to the hypothesis being
tested.
·
Duplicate Abstract - The abstract contents
substantively overlap with contents of another submitted abstract by the same
author or co-author.
·
Promotional in Nature - The abstract was written to
promote a specific product or procedure on behalf of a specific company or
organization. However, an invited
company may describe its procedures or services in a neutral, non-competitive
context.
·
Poorly Written - Improper use of the English
language renders the abstract incomprehensible.
Key
Submission Elements
Title - The
title should clearly identify the contents of the abstract. Capitalize the
first letter of each word except prepositions, articles, and species names.
Italicize scientific names of organisms (e.g., Candida albicans).
Authors
and Affiliations - Each author is listed
separately. Each name should
include first (given), middle initial(s) and last (family) name. You should
provide information on each author’s institution/affiliation. Do not give department, division,
branch, street address, etc. when completing the institution information. Enter
the City and State/Province (if from the United States or Canada) and
zip/postal code. If an author is
from a country other than the United States, be sure to provide this
information. Use abbreviations whenever possible. Designate the presenting author. Please note that it is a General Meeting policy to list
authors using all initials and last name.
A sample author/affiliation listing for publication would be:
G. E. F. Brown, Jr.1, P. J. Smith2,
and R. B. Jones1,2, 1CDC,
Atlanta, GA and 2Bournemouth Univ., Poole, UNITED KINGDOM
Abstract
Text - The text of each abstract should
consist of no more than 1850 characters (excluding spaces). Do not include your
title and author information as part of the abstract body. The abstract text
may be typed in any standard word processing program. Insert sub or superscripts, boldface, italics, or other
required symbols as necessary. Tables, if presented, should be as simple as
possible since they will be reduced in size in the final product to fit in a
column approximately 2.5" (6.3 cm) in width. Graphics (graphs, pictures,
etc.) are not recommended as (1) they are very difficult to properly size in
the space available and (2) will be printed in black and white. Files should be saved as a standard
word-processed file.
