New Call for Abstracts and Registration [International Conference on AIDS (8th: 1992: Amsterdam, Netherlands)]

Guidelines for Abstract
Submission
Authors of research papers are encouraged to submit an abstract for review.
The 1992 Conference offers two options
for abstract preparation. Abstracts presented under the first option should contain concise statements of:
1. the study objectives, the hypothesis to
be tested, or a description of the
problem;
2. method(s) used or approach taken;
3. specific results in summarized form
(with appropriate statistical analysis);
and
4. discussion, implications, and conclusions.
All abstracts should disclose primary findings and not include promissory statements such as "experiments are in
progress" or "results will be discussed."
The second option for abstract preparation is intended to recognize the vital
work in AIDS and STD prevention, care,
health and social services, human rights,
and policy that is being performed by individuals and organizations that may not
be conducting formal research projects.
The Conference organizers encourage
submission of abstracts which describe
any work that significantly advances understanding. In particular, we welcome
submission of abstracts by people with
HIV/AIDS and by individuals and community-based groups responding to AIDS.

Abstracts that describe work other than
formal research activities should include:
1. a one to two sentence statement of
the issue(s) the abstract addresses;
2. a brief description of the project, experience, service, research, or
advocacy;
3. a brief description of the results of the
project;
4. a summary of the lessons learned and
their implications.
All submissions, regardless of which option for presentation is selected, should
be made on the Abstract Form.
Rules for Abstract Submission
The Rule of One will apply: an investigator may serve as the presenting author
on only one abstract submission, although an individual may be listed as a
co-author on any number of submissions. The presenting author is asked to
sign a statement of compliance on the
Abstract Form. The practice of submitting redundant abstracts covering similar
work with resequenced authors is not
permitted.
Note: Abstracts accepted for presentation will be printed in the Abstract Volume of the VIII International Conference on AIDS/III STD World Congress
