The submission procedure for the 2004 ASA Annual
Meeting scientific papers is very similar to that
used in 2003. For 2004 ASA has once again partnered
with Marathon Multimedia, which specializes in online
abstract submissions.
The abstract submission program is accessible on
ASA’s Web site at <www.call4abstracts.com/asa/>.
All accepted abstracts will be published in their
entirety in electronic format, and a summary of
the abstract will be published in the 2004 Annual
Meeting program book. Submission instructions are
available on the ASA Web site and will not be mailed
to authors.
The following outlines the 2004 Scientific Papers
submission process:
• The deadline for submitting all abstracts
is Thursday, April 1, 2004, at
11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time.
• To submit your abstract using the online
submission form, you must use Netscape Navigator
or Communicator, version 6.2 or higher, or Microsoft
Internet Explorer, version 5.0 or higher.
• All submission instructions will be available
on the ASA Web site and accessible from any point
during the submission process. No separate submission
packet will be mailed.
• Authors may input and revise submissions
until deadline or until the abstract is officially
submitted by clicking the “Submit”
button. Entries will be checked automatically
for completeness once officially submitted. After
the closing deadline, entries that are not in
compliance with all of the submission requirements
will be assumed to be in draft format and will
not be considered by the graders.
• A brief summary of the study must be included
with the submission and, for abstracts that are
accepted, will be published in the 2004 Annual
Meeting program book. The summary will not be
considered when the abstracts are graded. The
September supplement to Anesthesiology
will consist of a CD-ROM containing the full text
and graphics of all accepted abstracts.
• The use of scientific characters and common
style elements such as bold, italic and underline
will be permitted. Font specification, with some
limitations, will be available.
The ASA Web site contains complete information
regarding the process for submitting abstracts.
