Official requirements for authors who wish to submit a paper for
an ACS meeting in one of the Organic Division Sponsored
sessions:
I. ACS Requirements
The bylaws of the American Chemical Society places the following
requirements on papers that are presented at National ACS
Meetings.
1. ACS Membership. At least one author of each paper must be a
member of the American Chemical Society, unless all the authors are
not chemists or engineers residing in the United States.
II. Organic Division Requirements and Policies
The Organic Division has the following bylaw and policies
pertaining to ORAL and POSTER PRESENTATIONS submitted for
presentation at National ACS Meetings.
I. Under no circumstances should a paper appear in print in a
journal other than as a communication to the editor before
presentation. Responsibility for ensuring that this policy is not
violated rests solely with the author(s). If a manuscript is
accepted for publication before a Meeting, the author(s) should
specifically request the editor to arrange publication in an issue
that is circulated after the ACS Meeting.
2. Abstract. Submit abstracts using the Online Abstract
Submittal System (OASys) available through the ACS web site.
Include a required 1,000-word description of oral or poster
presentation (Div. Bylaw VIII.lb) in online submission via
OASys.
3. Manuscript. One copy of a manuscript (at least 1,000 words)
of the paper to be presented that contains a detailed description
of the experimental work upon which the paper is based must be
submitted (required by the bylaw of the Division). A copy of the
manuscript in a form to be submitted for publication is ideal. No
paper can be accepted for the meeting program unless it is
accompanied by the manuscript. After the manuscript has been
reviewed, in preparation for the program, the manuscript of each
paper accepted will be sent to the chair of the session in which
the paper is to be presented. The presiding officer will serve as
discussion leader for each of the papers in their session.
Manuscripts for publication should be sent to the editors of the
journals and not the secretary of the Division.
-
4. Scheduling of Papers. The papers are arranged according to
subject matter. Please do not request the scheduling of a paper for
specific days unless a conflict WITH ANOTHER ACS PROGRAM makes it
impossible for you to present at a specific time. If such a
conflict exists, please advise the Program Chair no later than the
deadline. REQUESTS FOR PARTICULAR TIMES FOR PRESENTATION THAT FAIL
TO INDICATE A CONFLICT WITH AN ACS FUNCTION WILL BE TAKEN UNDER
CONSIDERATION ONLY.
5. Notification of Acceptance. The author presenting the paper
will be notified of the half-day session to which the paper has
been assigned. If a paper cannot be accepted, the author will be
notified of this fact as soon as possible. If an oral presentation
is requested on the short abstract, an attempt will be made to
honor that request. However, if the topic of the requested oral
presentation does not fit in an oral session, or if an inordinately
large number of requests for oral presentations are received, the
presentation may be moved to a poster session. When no preference
is indicated, the paper will be slotted in either an oral or a
poster session depending on the topic.
6. Acknowledgment of Receipt. Any author(s) of the abstract (as
well as the subsequent assignment) must enclose two self-addressed
and stamped postcards, such as those originally attached to the
standard ACS abstract form. Foreign authors are not required to
provide stamps.
III. Slides and Oral Presentation
Each meeting room will be equipped with projection facilities
for 2" x 2" slides and overhead transparencies. Overheads are not
recommended for large audiences such as symposia. Authors should be
sure their slides are legible and present a reasonable amount of
data on each slide. Manuscripts should not be read verbatim. The
Executive Committee recommends that the presentation should be
carefully prepared so that it is properly timed and of high
quality. Since the time allotted to each oral presentation is only
20 minutes, it is suggested that no more than ten black-on-white
background slides be used in the presentation. The material on the
slides should be presented horizontally. The size of the screens do
not accommodate the use of vertical slides.
IV. Poster Session
Boards (4' x 6') will be available for each poster presentation.
Plan to use large letters for the titles,
6
authors, and affiliation. Minimize text and maximize the number
of figures, schemes, and structures. The contents must be readable
from at least four feet. Helpful hints/tips for submission of a
long abstract can be found at:
http://www.chem.wayne.edu/acs-organic-division/abstract.html.
