Bioactive Lipids Conference - Instructions to prepare abstracts

Instructions to prepare abstracts

Attention: Presenting author must first register to attend the conference.

The complete abstract (title, authors, affiliations, abstract, and acknowledgements) MUST NOT exceed 6.5 x 9” (approximately 17 x 23 cm). Format the abstract to fit on an 8.5 x 11” page with 1” margins all around.

The minimum font size to be used is 12 point. There is no restriction on the font type to be used. However, Greek characters must be spelled out and placed between two pound marks (#) without spaces. For example, for the Greek character α, type #alpha#. Use all uppercase letters for uppercase Greek characters, e.g. #DELTA# for Δ.

Title should be concise yet informative. Use bold face but DO NOT use all uppercase characters for the title. (e.g. Modulation of tyrosine kinase signaling pathways by #omega#-3 fatty acid derived prostaglandins in human mammary epithelial cells.)

List all authors (Last name, first name, followed by any initials) in order as a separate paragraph immediately after the title. Type the presenting author’s name (only!) using all UPPERCASE characters. (e.g. SMITH, JOSEPH W., Carpenter, James D., and Wood, Catherine)

Affiliations of the authors to the departments and/or institutions should follow authors in a separate paragraph with appropriate references to the authors, if necessary. Use simple alphanumeric characters either as superscripts or in parentheses to cross-refer authors and their affiliations. The cross-references should follow the authors’ names but precede their affiliations. (e.g. SMITH, W. JOSEPH¹, Carpenter, D. James², and Wood, Catherine¹. ¹Department of Biochemistry, ²Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI 48201, USA)

Any references cited must be part of the abstract text and should not be listed separately.
