An individual who fails to present a scheduled paper does a disservice to all
those who organize and attend the meetings. Please provide the earliest possible
notification if you are not able to present a scheduled paper. We reserve the

papers in a timely fashion.

NEW DATEDRAFT MANUSCRIPT DEADLINE
For every presentation, one copy of a complete draft manuscript must be
sent to the appropriate JSM Session Chair by May 22, 2006. In late March,
the JSM staff will send an email to the presenting author confirming session
number with presentation day and time and giving additional instructions for
editing and submitting your draft manuscript. Included in this information will
be the chairs name and address, guidelines, and the timeline for submission
of a draft manuscript. Depending on the type of paper, you may need to provide
other copies as well. If you do not send all required draft copies in a timely
manner, your paper will be deleted from the program and will be ineligible for
publication in Proceedings. This requirement applies to all types of
contributed papers (including poster presentations) and to invited sessions
with discussants.
The two months before the meeting should be used to prepare the final version of the paper and to work on its oral or poster presentation. Click here for eligibility requirements and instructions for submitting papers to JSM Proceedings. Please check this site periodically for updates.
ONLINE PROGRAM AND ABSTRACTS – Abstracts will be available on the internet by March 31, 2006 with search capability. All information for online and print publications is collected when abstracts are submitted. Hard copies of the Program Book and Abstract Book will be distributed in Seattle.
ABSTRACT PREPARATION – All abstracts will be published in the JSM 2006 Abstract Book. Please submit your abstract free of typographical errors or misspellings. Communication between the ASA and corresponding authors will be done ONLY via email. All those submitting abstracts must have a working email address in order to receive frequent participant updates.
AUDIO/VISUAL GUIDELINES – The standard items of audio/visual equipment supplied for all sessions without cost to the speaker are one overhead projector, one screen, and one LCD/data projector (for computer or PowerPoint presentations). Additional equipment needed must be ordered and paid for by the presenter. Laptop computers are not provided.
Download the Speaker Audio-Visual Order Form. Additional equipment needed must be ordered and paid for by the presenter.
LAPTOPS FOR SESSION PRESENTATIONS Presenters using LCD/data projectors
for computer or PowerPoint presentations must supply their own
laptop computer and required software. It is recommended that multiple speakers
in a session using PowerPoint or computer-generated presentations designate
one speaker to provide one laptop for the session and load all of the presentations
onto one machine to avoid lost time or faulty connections. Please facilitate
this process with your session chair.
SPAM FILTERS A great deal of important information will be sent to you via email in the months leading up to the JSM. Please set any spam-blocking filters you have to allow emails sent from addresses containing @amstat.org.
