Call for Abstracts for Poster Presentations

Abstracts for poster presentations are being accepted for the 15th Annual Symposium of the Canadian Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences, to be held at the University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, June 12-15, 2012.  Abstracts in all areas of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences will be accepted.

The deadline for submission is Friday, 23 March, 2012, and authors will be informed of acceptance by Friday, 6 April, 2012.

Posters will be displayed on Wednesday, 13 June OR Thursday, 14 June.  Presenting authors must be registered for the conference and be present to discuss their work during all break periods of their assigned day.

All submitted posters will be reviewed by a scientific review committee.  Posters presented should contain original work.  However, in exceptional cases, work presented elsewhere within the last 12 months may be considered.  Such work must be highly original and deemed of high importance by the abstract review committee to merit a second presentation.  Work that has been presented elsewhere must be clearly acknowledged with the name of the meeting, the date of the original presentation, and referenced to the publication if abstract has been published.  Only those abstracts that have not been presented elsewhere can be considered for poster awards.

All presented poster abstracts will be published in the Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Instructions for Preparing Abstracts - Please read carefully.

• See Sample Abstract

• Abstracts must be submitted in English, must contain an adequate body of data, and be free of typographical errors.  Please proofread and spell-check abstract before submitting, as it will be printed exactly as it appears when submitted.

• Use Microsoft Word, Font Times Roman, 11-point, single-spaced. Use the Symbol font for symbols and Greek characters.  Do not add in other styles such as headings.

• The length of the abstract should be 200 to 400 words.

• Be sure your abstract includes the title of your abstract (in sentence case and bold), followed by the authors' full names (first name, last name format) and addresses.  Underline the presenting author's name.

• Prepare the main text under the bolded headings:  Purpose, Methods, Results, Conclusion.

• Small tables of data and/or figures may be included.

• Naming your file submission:  The name of the abstract file must be the last (family) name of the corresponding author and contain no spaces (e.g. Smith).  For multiple submissions, submit a separate form for each abstract, and label with the last name followed by the number of the submission: Smith1 or Smith_1, Smith2 or Smith_2, etc.

• Please complete ALL fields in the submission form before submitting the abstract. 

• The abstract must be uploaded in Microsoft Word format.

• If you would like to have your abstract considered for a trainee poster award (see below), please ensure that the email return address used in the on-line submission is the same as the presenting (award applicant) author.
