PB-Rad-Injury Workshop, May 5-6, 2008
ABSTRACT GUIDELINES
Partial-Body Radiation Diagnostic Biomarkers and Medical Management of Radiation Injury Workshop
(PB-Rad-Injury 2008 Workshop)
May 5–6, 2008
Abstracts for the PB-Rad-Injury 2008 Workshop must be submitted in final form by March 31. When preparing your abstract for submission, please follow these guidelines:
  • Write in English.
  • Do not exceed two pages in length.
  • Set page margins to 1 inch (left, right, top, and bottom).
  • Use “portrait” page orientation.
  • Set the paper size for U.S. letter (8.5 × 11 in, or 21.8 × 28.2 cm); do not format for A4 letter because it will not print properly.
  • Set headers and footers at 0.5 in.
  • Use single-line spacing.
  • Justify the text on both left and right.
  • Use one spacebar space after periods to prevent gaps in fully justified text.
  • Use Times New Roman font throughout.
  • Use font size 16 for the page heading and font size 11 for body text.
  • Include only text—no tables, figures, or structural formulas.
Order of the abstract
  • Center abstract title, using uppercase and lowercase text.
  • Insert one blank space.
  • Center authors’ names, using “initials with periods/last name” style, bold.
  • Center the institutional affiliation(s) of each author. Use a separate line for each affiliation and superscript symbols to relate each author to the affiliation. Provide organization and its full postal address (city, state/province, country, postal code).
  • Insert one blank space.
  • Center the e-mail address of the manuscript’s corresponding author.
  • Write the body of the abstract in one continuous paragraph with no indent, fully justified.
  • Use this page footer: PB-Rad-Injury 2008 Workshop in 9-point bold type.
  • See sample abstract.
Files you must send
For your abstract, please send two files:
  • the abstract in MS Word file format (.DOC or .RTF), and
  • the abstract in portable document format (.PDF).
Naming your files
Use this method for naming the abstract file you will attach to email to the PB-Rad-Injury 2008:
  • lastname_firstname_abs.doc  [example: smith_john_abs.doc]
  • lastname_firstname_abs.pdf  [example: smith_john_abs.pdf
Word to PDF

To save a Microsoft Word document as a PDF file, you will need PDF-writer software installed on your computer. Example applications include Acrobat, PDFWriter, Acrobat Distiller by Adobe, or any of several other similar products, including  Pdf995, Click to Convert, deskPDF, and RoboPDF. AFRRI mentions these PDF-generation applications solely for the convenience of users and has not tested and does not endorse the use of any particular software products.

To check whether you have PDF-writer software already installed on your computer, from within a Microsoft Word document, look at your list of available printers. If a PDF writer is shown on the list, you can make PDF documents of your Word files. Print the opened Word file to the PDF writer, which will show in your computer’s list of available printers as, for example, “Adobe PDF.” For additional instructions regarding use of PDF documents, please see How to Save a Windows Document in PDF (Acrobat) Format. For a tutorial on how to make your PDF files smaller (i.e., to send as e-mail attachments), please read Reduce PDF File Size.
Sending your files
Attach your Word and PDF files to an e-mail addressed to Program Committee at this address: PB-Rad-Injury-2008@afrri.usuhs.mil.
Address all correspondence to:
Program Committee, e-mail: PB-Rad-Injury-2008@afrri.usuhs.mil; fax: 301-295-1863
