Under the guidance of N://OC® Editorial Board member Joel MacDonald, MD, this year’s online abstract submission process has been enhanced to include abstract editing services; e-mail confirmation; online submission of resident award summaries and department chairman letters; as well as an improved page design.
The Online Abstract Center is located in the Professional Pages section of N://OC® at https://www.neurosurgery.org. Click on the Online Abstract Center link on the Welcome Page. From there, users will be able to choose the meeting which they would like to submit an abstract. The online abstract form is the same as the paper form. All applicable fields need to be completed for proper review of the abstract.
Once the abstract has been submitted, an immediate confirmation page will appear on the computer screen. This page should be printed and filed as a record of submission. At the top of the confirmation page, there will be a username and password. This information is needed in order to edit an abstract. If an e-mail address for the primary author was entered, the option of receiving a confirmation by e-mail is also available. To do this, on the confirmation page, click on the button that says “Receive E-mail Confirmation” and one will be sent to the primary author’s e-mail address.
Some award considerations require additional information be submitted (such as the 1,000 word Resident Award Summary for the AANS Annual Meeting or a letter from Program Director for the Mayfield Award for the Section on Disorders of the Spine & Peripheral Nerves Annual Meeting). This additional information can be submitted online as well. If the option to be considered for these award was selected, there will be a link on the confirmation page to the appropriate form.
If you have any questions about Online Abstract Submission, please e-mail [email protected] or call Allison Casey at the AANS National Office at 847-692-9500.
