Submitting an Abstract
You are invited to submit an abstract for your presentation in any of the NERM2008 Symposia. Use the links in the left-hand menu bar to browse our symposium pages and select the location that would be most appropriate for your work. Please contact the symposium organizer if you have any questions about the symposium aims and scope.
On-line abstract submission using the ACS OASYS system
Oral presentation or poster? (or both?)
Authors submitting absracts for oral presentation are encouraged to select the "oral and poster" option. If their work is accepted we hope that they will consider presenting both their talk, and a poster. We will be holding one large poster session from 4:00pm to 6:00pm on Monday and this will be our main networking event. One of the objectives of the ACS Northeast Regional Meeting is to encourage communication and collaboration between researchers in different fields and at different institutions within our region. Your participation in the poster session will provide an opportunity for further discussion of your work. Researchers from other fields who were unable to attend your oral presentation due to their participation in different symposia, will have the opportunity to learn about your work.
Graduate student submissions
20% of the oral presentation slots in each session will be made available for graduate student presentations. Our reviewers will select the papers for oral presentation based on the quality of your abstract and, for the special symposia, on the relevance of your work to the topic area. All other graduate presentations will be as posters at the main poster session on Tuesday. If you would prefer a poster presentation please select the "poster" option during your OASYS submission.
Styles to observe
Abstracts should be 300 words or less. They may contain one or more graphics (GIF or JPEG format).

The title should not begin with "The" or "A" Here's an example: My theories on recombinant DNA: Or, how I spent my summer vacation
The abstract text should not contain the word "Abstract" or any author names and should not contain footnotes
CAS Chemical Abstracts
All abstracts accepted for NERM 2008 will be automatically included into CAS, the ACS Chemical Abstracts Service database after the meeting.
