Abstracts for General meetings of the Society should be sent to the Meetings Department of the Society at the APS Headquarters Office. C. Acknowledgment of receipt of abstracts. For General meetings of the APS, if you wish to be contacted when your abstract is received, you must include a self-addressed stamped envelope or postcard with your abstract. We cannot acknowledge receipt of abstracts unless this is done. Acknowledgment of receipt does not guarantee acceptance of the abstract into the program, only that the submission was received.
All deadlines are firm.
Deadline dates are published in the announcements of the meetings, as well as the inside back cover of APS Meeting News. Abstracts received after the published deadline date will not be included in the regular program. If the meeting for which you are submitting an abstract has a postdeadline program, please be cognizant of the rules that govern postdeadline submissions for that particular meeting. The APS is not responsible for late submissions due to mail difficulties. The APS recommends that you mail your abstract at least two weeks prior to the deadline date, unless you are using an express mail courier.
