Rules for Submitting an Abstract to the 20th BCCE

Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 February 2008

You will need to select a symposium from the list of symposia in order to submit an abstract. Upon submission of your abstract, an e-mail message will be sent to the individual whose e-mail address is submitted as part of the abstract form. Submission of an abstract does not guarantee that your abstract will be accepted to the symposium you submitted it to. The symposium organizers and the 20th BCCE program chairs, will make a decision about the disposition of all abstracts. The symposium organizer will contact you if your abstract is accepted to his or her symposium. We anticipate the symposium chairs (for one of the listed symposia) will notify you by mid Feb 2008. If you are submitting an abstract to the "General Papers" symposium or "Posters" section, you will be notified if your abstract is accepted by March 1, 2008.

ABSTRACT STYLES

1. Capitalize only the first letter of the title, any proper nouns or acronyms, and if necessary, the first word following a colon (:).
Example: Using guided-inquiry to enhance students' understanding of chemistry: Techniques you can use in the classroom.
2. Do not begin paper titles with "The", "A", or "And". These will be removed before publication in the program book.
3. Do not end papers with a period.
4. Abstracts should contain 250 words or less.

IF YOU WANT TO EDIT THE TITLE AND/OR ABSTRACT

* Log in using your name and special 20th BCCE ID (xxxyyy).
* Click the title of your presentation in the left column under the "My Stuff" heading. At the bottom of the resulting page should be a link to allow you to edit your entry. Make the changes and save them.
* Make changes to your abstract before March 1, 2008. We start assembling the 20th BCCE program book listing each symposia, title of papers in the symposium and each presenter's and co-author's name and institutional affiliation on March 1, 2008.
