PAPERS AND PRESENTATION

1. Abstracts will be submitted via the Internet by contacting the PSA`99 website at: http://www.psa.uiuc.edu/meet/psa99/psa99sub.html. All instructions concerning the submission process should be reviewed prior to and during the submission process to ensure proper formatting. Additional copies of the instructions for submission can be requested by contacting Association Headquarters (psa@assochq.org). Changes to submitted abstracts will be allowed until the abstract submission deadline of March 15, 1999.

2. Electronic submission of abstracts at no cost to the membership is the preferred method of submission; however, if a member is unable to submit an abstract electronically, paper abstracts will be accepted. Two copies of the abstract that follow the guidelines for submission and a $15.00 USD fee (for each paper submission) can be mailed to: PSA 1999 Meeting Abstracts, PSA Headquarters, 1111 N. Dunlap Ave., Savoy, IL 61874. All abstracts must be submitted by the March 15, 1999 submission deadline.

3. The author submitting the abstract is responsible for its content and quality of preparation. All abstracts should contain: a statement of the purpose of the experiment; a description of the experimental design; objective information pertaining to results; an informative conclusion; five key words for indexing. The length of the body of the abstract should not exceed 2,300 keystrokes (including characters and spaces).

   Authors will be notified regarding the disposition of their submission(s), together with information on the presentation date and time for each abstract that is accepted. As soon as the program is finalized with days, times, and locations, it will be on the PSA web site.

4. In preparation of abstracts, authors are urged to refer to Volume 77, Suppl. 1, 1998 issue of Poultry Science for examples of abstract format to be used. It is: title of paper, author(s) with initials preceding the surname(s), name of department or section or division (or section and department), university or firm or other organization, address (note that an abbreviation is used for state or province and that the country is shown for abstracts originating outside the United States), and zip code or other postal code, abstract paper, and finally, the five keywords descriptive of the subject.

5. The abstract should give clear, concise information on the problem, materials, procedure(s), method(s) used, results, and conclusions. Statements such as "... will be discussed," etc., should not be used. Short footnotes may be added.

   It is recognized that abstracts of some papers for the Extension and Instruction as well as Processing and Products sections, panel participation or symposia, or requested review papers may not follow these instructions implicitly, but the general format should apply. The rule concerning the length of the abstract will be strictly enforced.

6. The author must indicate a preference as to the section in which the paper might be presented. The name of the author who will present the paper should be indicated by an asterisk after the presenter's name. An abstract should not be submitted unless one of the authors expects to be in attendance to present the paper. Only 2" x 2" slides may be used.

   The Program Committee will consider the author's preference, as well as scheduling constraints, in assigning abstracts by presentation method and section. Authors MUST indicate their section preference, whether the presentation is oral or poster, and whether the presentation should be considered for the Graduate Student Certificate of Excellence. For authors submitting more than one paper, please identify the priority of presentation, should time limits or reassignment of sections become necessary. The Committee will make every attempt to avoid simultaneous presentation, graduate students presenting at the same time as their advisor, or back-to-back presentations unless they are in the same session.

7. An author desiring to present more than one paper should indicate the order of preference to the chair by entering the abstracts via the internet in order of preference, or in the case of paper submission marking in the top margin of abstracts submitted.

8. Papers may be a) accepted for presentation or b) refused.

9. The Board of Directors has instructed the General Program Chairperson that he, or she, with the assistance of the Section Chairpersons, has full responsibility and authority for the disposition of papers as in item 8, to assign papers to sections and arrange the order of presentation within sections, to limit the number of papers accepted from a laboratory or other unit, and to solicit papers with no inference of the later acceptance for publication as manuscripts in Poultry Science. A Section Chairperson may arrange with the Editor, prior to the annual meeting for publication of papers presented at a symposium or a review paper.

10. Abstracts will be published, as submitted, in the 1999 supplement issue of Poultry Science. Copies of the abstracts section of the journal will be available by the annual meeting.

11. Reprints of abstracts, following publication in Poultry Science, may be purchased at a cost of $99.00 USD per hundred if an order with billing and shipping instructions is forwarded to the Business Manager prior to the end of the annual meeting.
