Online Abstract Submission Guidelines
 Last updated 19 June 2008

 Abstract Submission Deadline:  23:59 EST ~ 7 November 2007
 
For the ISMRM 16th Annual Meeting and Exhibition, all abstracts must be submitted electronically via the ISMRM Web site.  No paper forms will be available.  Any abstract submitted on an old paper form will not be considered for review.  Please note, it is the policy of the ISMRM to treat all submitted abstracts as confidential from the time of submission to the publication date.

To facilitate the blinded peer review process and to ensure that abstracts are properly formatted, please follow these instructions, which are supplemental to the instructions at the upload web site.

  • The uploaded file should contain only the body of the abstract (NO TITLE, AUTHORS, AFFILIATIONS, OR SYNOPSIS).  This information is captured in data entry fields at the upload site.
     

  • The document must be in .rtf or .doc format.  If creating your abstract in WordPerfect, just "save as" .rtf.
     

  • The text should be formatted in one column across the page (see sample on left below).
     

  • In order to achieve a proper conversion of your abstract to its final form, please use a template that is 8.5" (21.5 cm) wide x 11" (28 cm) high with a top margin of 0.5" (1.25 cm), a bottom margin of 2.0", and right and left margins of 0.5" (1.25 cm).   Please also use standard fonts such as Arial, Times, or Times New Roman.  The font size should be 8pt or larger.
     

  • Your abstract should be no more than one page in length once the title and authors are added by the submission system (see sample on right below).


No title, authors, affiliations, or synopsis in the body of the abstract file!

 The online system takes the file you upload
