Steps for Submitting Your Abstract

  • To begin the process, if you are an ASIP member, you must log into the ASIP membership database with your member access credentials.  If you are a non-ASIP member, an account must be created. 

  • Enter the account holder information. Complete all required fields. NOTE: The account holder does not need to be first/presenting author, although it is recommended. The account holder will receive the notifications regarding the status of the abstract. You will be required to pay the abstract submission fee at the time of submission. This fee is required for each abstract submission.

  • You may be first author of multiple volunteered scientific papers provided that each submission represents distinct research. Sponsoring or co-authoring of additional abstracts is permitted.

  • The first author of the abstract is expected to present the paper, unless prior approval is received from the Program Committee. The first author must find a replacement speaker if multiple abstracts are programmed at the same time.

  • Upload your abstract as a Word document. It is mandatory that the Word document lists the first and last names of all authors, complete institutional affiliations (including city and state) and author position on the abstract.

Each abstract should be constructed using the following subsections with subheadings:

  • Introduction/Background: a brief discussion of the background or rationale of the study and/or the question addressed
  • Materials and Methods: the experimental approach, materials, and methods used in the study
  • Results: the data and results obtained in the study
  • Conclusions: the conclusions and/or implications of the results
  • Acknowledgements: for grant funding or other special contributions to the research

Please note that figures and tables are not permitted in the body of the abstract. Likewise, literature references should be restricted to a minimum and should be cited in the body of the abstract.

Abstract Title and Body

  • Enter the title of your abstract in title case (i.e., capitalize the first letter of each word, except prepositions). Do not place a period following the abstract title.

  • Title case trade names.

  • Use standard abbreviations for units of measure.

  • Spell out other abbreviations at first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses for subsequent uses. Exceptions: DNA, RNA, etc.

  • Include the source of research support in the separate textbox on the submission form.

  • Cut and paste the body of your abstract from a Word or plain text document into the Abstract Body area of the form. The abstract title (including spaces) has a 200 character limit.  The abstract text (including spaces) has a 3,000 character limit.

  • Do not enter the title or authors again in the abstract body. The title, author and co-authors will automatically be included in the final abstract.

  • You will be required to upload a copy of your completed abstract as a Word document.  No figures or tables are allowed. The Word version of your abstract should contain all elements: title, authors, author affiliations, and the body of the abstract. It is the responsibility of the author to ensure that all authors and author affiliations are correct.

  • You will be required to acknowledge and accept the Pathobiology 2027 Scientific Integrity Policy. Please read the agreement prior to submitting an abstract.

  • You will be required to acknowledge and accept the Pathobiology 2027 Code of Conduct. Please read and acknowledge prior to submitting your abstract.

  • You are responsible for proofreading the abstract before final submission. The final version will appear online in The American Journal of Pathology (The AJP).
