Second North American Congress of Epidemiology
Location: Seattle, Washington, USA
Abstract Deadline: 3 February 2006
Conference Dates: 21-24 June 2006
Abstracts are requested for consideration for contributed oral and/or poster presentations for the Second North American Congress of Epidemiology in Seattle, WA. Accepted abstracts will be distributed at the June meeting and will also be published in a Supplement Issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology (AJE).
The following rules are AJE policies and should be adhered to precisely:
- Abstracts are required to be submitted online
- A letter of notification of acceptance or rejection will be emailed to the authors no later than April 30, 2006.
- General Rules about the abstracts: Please read these instructions carefully. Do not include figures, tables or mathematical equations in the abstract. The abstract should not exceed 1,876 characters, which includes title and author information. Avoid acronyms. If you use references, provide the journal, volume, year and page numbers. Spell out abbreviations (including OR or RR) the first time you use them. If you calculate confidence intervals, specify whether they are 90%, 95%, etc. Choose a primary and up to two secondary topic areas from the list below.
- Presentation of specific data and methodologic details assist reviewers in judging the quality of the research. New findings are of greater interest than confirmation of known relations. Clarity and brevity of writing will allow evaluation of the importance of the research. Abstracts are scored by two reviewers. An overall acceptance proportion is applied to each subject area. The allocation of papers therefore represents the number of abstracts submitted for the subject areas.
All Abstracts must be received in final form no later than February 3, 2006.
