2010 Meeting Call for Abstracts | Manuscript MANUSCRIPT INSTRUCTIONS SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 12, 2010 All papers presented at the AVAS may have manuscripts submitted for publication consideration in the American Journal of Surgery. These include both oral and poster presentations. Manuscripts will be due 2 weeks following the Association for VA Surgeons meeting, with the deadline being May 12, 2010 at midnight. Manuscripts will be formatted for the American Journal of Surgery. Paper versions of manuscripts will not be accepted. The Manuscripts should be loaded onto Elsevier's electronic submission system. PLEASE NOTE: Formatting and page limitations should be strictly adhered to as per the American Journal of Surgery website (see link below). In particular, not more than 12 doublespaced pages, including abstract, text, references, and figure legends, and not more than 5 figures or tables, will be permitted unless the author is willing to pay additional page charges as required by the Journal. Such a stipulation should be made in the cover letter and will be strictly adhered to. In cases of composite figures each part counts as a separate figure for this purpose. (So figures 1a,b,c,d count as four figures.) The authors must submit the names and email addresses for 5 AVAS members who can serve as peer reviewers for the submitted papers. They may be placed in the manuscript's cover letter. A listing of AVAS members can be found under the Membership page. Authors will be notified of their papers acceptance by September 1, 2009. In the event that the number of accepted papers exceeds the page limitations of the journal's paper format, some may be published on-line only. Online publications will be included in the AVAS paper journals table of contents and indexed in Index Medicus. Submission deadline will be strictly enforced. Late submissions will be grounds for rejection. For questions about the manuscript process, please contact the AVAS Recorder, Dr. Marc Basson.
