Your abstract should be typed in below in the Abstract Text Box.  It should INCLUDE your TITLE, AUTHORS, AFFILIATIONS, CONTACT INFO, TEXT, and FUNDING information.  The information you have provided in previous boxes is for the program booklet.  What is typed below goes directly to the publisher.  It must not exceed 250 words to comply with the publisher's formatting instructions.  Even though the online program will allow you to put in more words be aware that they will be truncated in the database.  If your abstract is originally typed in a word processing software program you can utilize the program's word count feature to insure that your abstract is not too long before typing it below.  If your abstract has no special characters, you can cut and paste from most software programs into the box below.  HOWEVER, if you have special characters, you need to utilize the special character feature below.  Copying and pasting special characters from other software programs will result in errors.  Please preview your abstract before submitting it.  Once you have submitted your abstract it cannot be edited. If you do find an error, you will need to resubmit the abstract with a comment in the "Comment" box that the abstract is a replacement abstract.  Do not hesitate to contact the Central Office if you have any questions.  This paragragh contains 226 words.

 

Abstract Text

Any abstract longer than 250 words will be automatically truncated by the editor.  No photos or tables will be accepted with or in the abstracts. Abstracts will be published by Wiley and must be formatted according to the directions above.


To insert a special character in your abstract, click the Special Characters button, which will display a new window. Double click the button that displays the character or text format you want or double the button to the right of the character you want to display. The HTML code for that character/format will be added to the END of the abstract (you must move it to the correct location in the abstract). An alternate method to insert special characters is to use the html code.  e.g. for a paragraph break type in <p>.  For superscripting required for multiple authors and affiliations you can use <sup>1</sup>.  To preview the abstract, click the preview button.
