Does anyone know how to prepare an abstract for on-line submission?

Question

Does the abstract go on a separate page? If so, where does the title go? Should the abstract be double spaced, indented? And where would I put my information, i.e. name, school affiliation, e-mail address etc? This is my first time submitting an abstract and unfortunately, the conference materials didn't include any formatting guidelines.

Answer 1

Does your paper need to be in APA format? If so the abstract would be the first item on the page after the cover page. Its easy. Do a search on "APA formating help" and you will see some examples. Also you can search for "example APA paper".

Answer 2

I've submitted to several conferences.  The submission site should have a place to fill in your name, affiliation, contact info, etc, title of talk/poster, and then a box for the abstract.  You can just type or cut-and-paste it in.  No formatting required - it's usually just one paragraph, not double spaced.
