INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS
(See
reverse for sample printed abstract)
Abstract Book
The APA will publish a volume of
abstracts for the papers that will be presented at the
136th Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
Please send to the APA office, for arrival no later than
September 7, 2004, a printed copy of your one-page
abstract. In preparing your abstract, please keep the
following instructions in mind:
- Abstracts must be one page in length. Abstracts
longer than one page will not be published.
- Use a laser printer or typewriter with a new
ribbon. (Please, no submissions on dot-matrix or ink
jet printers.)
- Submit an original copy to the APA office. No
e-mail or fax transmissions will be accepted.
Guidelines:
- Use 8.5-x-11-inch paper. If A4 paper is used,
check that the text length from the top to the bottom
is not greater than 10 inches.
- The left, right, and bottom margins should be 1
inch; the top margin should be .8 inch.
- Line spacing should be between 1.25 and 1.5.
- The text of the abstract should be in 11 point
Times New Roman font. Abstracts will be reduced by
35% before being printed.
- The author's name (first name first, then surname
in capitals) should be in the upper left-hand corner.
The paper title should be in the upper-right-hand
corner. Both name and title should be in 12 point
Times New Roman font. (See other side for
example.) The title must be the same as in the
abstract submitted to the Program Committee, although
it is understood that the space limitations prescribed
above will make it necessary for you to submit a
shorter abstract than the one reviewed by the Program
Committee.
- Please do NOT fold your abstract when
mailing. Use cardboard backing if possible.
Abstracts must be received no later than September
7, 2004.
Electronic
Publication of Abstracts
-
We
urge you to submit your abstract to the APA web site for
its Annual Meeting section. Please consult the APA web
page (http://www.apaclassics.org/AnnualMeeting/05mtg/05e-abstracts.html)
for submission guidelines. We hope that making abstracts
available on the web in advance of the meeting will
stimulate discussion, help members plan their schedules
better, and inform them about sessions that they are
unable to attend. Please note that abstracts for the
web site must be submitted in the correct electronic form
directly to the Web Editor.
