9th North American Paleontological Convention (NAPC)

 

 

Abstracts for NAPC 2009 are now being accepted for symposia, topical sessions, and plenary sessions. The deadline for submission is February 12, 2009 (an auspicious day….). We encourage members of all ANAPS organizations to submit abstracts! Abstracts should be submitted electronically.

 

- There is no fee for submission of an abstract.
- You have the option of presenting a poster or a talk.
- Unless you are presenting a plenary talk, you are limited to one talk at the meeting (plenary speakers may submit an abstract for a second talk). You are permitted to submit a second abstract for a poster presentation.
- All talks at the meeting, except for plenary-session presentations, will be fifteen minutes in duration.
- On the webpage for abstract submission, invitees for plenary sessions and symposia will be asked to indicate their session code from a pull-down list (see below for a list of sessions and their codes). In addition, you will have the opportunity to categorize the general subject area of your presentation with two additional pull-down lists; your choices will help the organizers to assemble topical sessions for the meeting and to assign some presentations to open slots in symposia.
- Presenters are limited to three additional co-authors on an abstract.  Information about each co-author can be entered in text boxes at the bottom of the abstract-submission page.
- Because we are using a fairly inflexible submission form, the person submitting the abstract is automatically identified on the form as the “Presenting Author”.  If, instead, one of the other authors will be presenting the talk or the poster, that person can identified in the appropriate box at the bottom of the form.
- If you have any questions or problems with abstract submission, please feel free to contact Arnie Miller (arnold.miller@uc.edu ), chair of the NAPC organizing committee.
