Model for an Abstract
Abstract for Presentations at the SWST Annual Meeting
University of Bío- Bío in Concepción, CHILE November 10-12, 2008
Cecilia A. Bustos and Jerrold E. Winandy
An Abstract is required for all poster and oral presentations. We are only accepting poster session abstracts at this time. Your Abstract will include the title, authors’ names (capitalized surname), body of text, key words and authors contact details (if authors are from more than one organisation, contact details for these can be included also). Using a standard industry word processor (e.g. Microsoft Word 2007 or WordPerfect7.0 - previous versions are accepted), type your document then store it as a *.doc file. This “Model for an Abstract” serves to indicate how you should organise your Abstract. The paper can be A4 or 8-1/2 by 11-in. Page layout should have 2.5 cm margins on all four sides, be single-spaced and use Times New Roman typeface with a 12-point pitch. The text should be left justified only, and have no tabs, tables, figures, pictures or references. Please do not divide words or right justify the text. The body of the Abstract should be between 1400 to 2100 characters, including the spaces between the words. The Abstracts should be less than 1 page, including affiliations and contact information (email, fax, phone). Multiple addresses are used if there is more than one organisation - not just the senior author.
Your Poster Session abstract must be received on or before September 10, 2008. No oral presentation abstracts are being accepted at this time, as the speakers are confirmed. If e-mail submission is not possible, please post/courier your Abstract on diskette or CD, together with a high quality printout to Victoria Herian. On the diskette or CD label include your name, version of software used and the file name.
Use a laser printer or high quality inkjet printer and normal good quality paper for the printout. Your text will be reproduced from the electronic file, but the printout is critical to allow the editor to resolve any discrepancies. The Title should appear in bold, in lower case, with each noun starting with a capital. The major authors contact details shown follow the body of the abstract. Affiliations of all other authors should be given.
Key words Indicate up to 5 key words.
