Instructions

• Your paper may be presented orally or as a poster. Oral presentations are generally 15 minutes. The speaker should limit the presentation to 10-12 minutes to allow time for discussion. Instructions for poster presentations are linked here.
• The abstract submission form and the appropriate fees should be sent by US mail.
• Enclose a personal check, money order, institutional check, or purchase order for $25 publication charge for each abstract to be published, payable to the Mississippi Academy of Sciences. The publication charge will be refunded if the abstract is not accepted.
• At least one author must be a member of the Academy at the time the paper/poster is presented. Payment for membership of one author must be sent for the abstract to be accepted.
• Attendance and participation at all sessions requires payment of registration. Complete pre-registration information will be sent in January.
• Note that two separate fees are associated with submitting a paper for presentation at the annual meeting of the Mississippi Academy of Sciences. An abstract fee is assessed to defray the cost of publishing abstracts and a membership fee is assessed to defray the costs of running the Academy. Preregistration payment ($12 regular; $5 student) may accompany the abstract, or you may elect to pay this fee in January or pay full registration costs at the meeting.
• Submit your abstract and appropriate fees to the Abstracts' Editor, John Boyle, TO BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN NOVEMBER 1, 1999.
• NOTE: Late abstracts will be accepted with a $10 late fee and only if there is room in the appropriate division. They will be published in the April issue of the MAS JOURNAL.
