Copyright Transfer Form (1903)

February 5, 2008

 

Please verify the following points in your submission:

1) FILE: The abstract should be uploaded in PDF FORMAT. Please do not upload Word or any other file types.

2) TRACKING ID: The six digit tracking ID that you will get from the abstract submission site is a special identifier number unique to your abstract. This tracking ID number must be entered in the field on the top right portion of the first page of your PDF file to replace XXXXXX. For example if your Tracking ID is ‘123456’ then the field in PDF which is originally ‘SBC2008-XXXXXX’ should be changed to read as ‘SBC2008-123456’. You have two options for updating this field: A) If you have a PDF editor then you can update this field on the PDF file directly. B) Enter the field in the DOC template file and then convert to PDF.

3) FILE SIZE: Size of the attached file should be less than 1 Mb.

Submission of an abstract implies a commitment by at least one of the authors to attend the conference and present the work. Authors whose abstracts are accepted, but who fail to present their papers, will all be blacklisted from the next Summer Bioengineering Conference (SBC2009).
