Make a Good First Impression Meet the deadline .
Late submissions suggest poor planning and preparation.
Prepare a clear, easy to read manuscript . Clean, laser printed copies presented within the manuscript conventions of your discipline make your abstract accessible and easy to read. If you must FAX or e-mail your abstract in order to meet the deadline, follow with hard copy via U.S. mail. Make it clear you have written this abstract especially for this conference . Do not send the entire paper, a section of paper, or anything that does not summarize what your paper actually says.
