APS Additional Information

APS Abstract Submission

Complete abstract submission instructions can be found at http://www.aps.org/meet/abstracts/meet-abstract.html. Please proofread your abstract carefully before submission. Contributors may submit in one of two ways:

SUBMITTING ABSTRACTS VIA THE WEB
To submit a contributed abstract using the online web submission process, an author needs to know two things: (1) the number and ordering of authors and collaborations, and (2) the abstract content. The web page will guide you through the rest. Try a test submission before submitting your abstract. Log onto http://abstracts.aps.org and select the meeting TEST. Follow the directions online to create your own practice abstract. When ready to submit your abstract online, select the meeting (TSS02) by clicking on the appropriate button. A form will be created for you. Simply input the information.

SUBMITTING ABSTRACTS VIA E-MAIL
Contributors must create their abstracts from an electronic template supplied by the American Physical Society. The template and instruction files for contributed abstracts can be obtained by sending an e-mail to abs-request@aps.org with the phrase REQUEST TSS02 in the message. Those contributors who absolutely are unable to submit an abstract electronically should contact meetings@aps.org.

Publishing your Abstract

All abstracts will be available on the WEB before the meeting. The links to the WEB site of APS meeting abstracts are maintained as a kind of archive of meeting abstracts. It is expected that this will continue indefinitely into the future so that later you can look up or reference the URL of your abstract. However, you may still choose to have your abstract published in traditional print. To have your abstract(s) published in the Spring 2002 Supplement issue of the APS Bulletin, please return the ABSTRACT PUBLICATION FORM to Walter Borst with payment of $25.00 for each abstract, made out to "Texas Section APS" by March 1, 2002.
