Abstract Information
 
 

Contributed papers dealing with all areas of physics education and original research are solicited from both APS and AAPT members, for both Oral and Poster sessions. Complete abstract submission instructions can be found at http://www.aps.org/meet/meet-abstract.html. We strongly urge you to proof you abstract before submission. Contributors may submit abstracts in one of two ways:
 
 

Submitting abstracts via the web: to submit a contributed abstract using the online web submission process, an author needs to know two things: (1) the number and ordering of the authors and collaborations; and (2) abstract content. The web page will guide you through the rest. Try a test submission before submitting your abstract. Surf  http://abstracts.aps.org and select the meeting TEST. Follow the directions online to create your own practice abstract. When ready to submit your abstract online, select the meeting (OSS02) by clicking on the appropriate button. A form will be created for you. Simply input the information.
 
 

Submitting abstracts via e-mail: Contributors must create their abstract from an electronic template supplied by the American Physical Society. The template and instruction files for contributed abstracts can be obtained by sending e-mail to abs-request@aps.org with the phrase request OSS02 in the message. If you have questions regarding abstract submission, please send them to abs-help@aps.org or to Dr. Mike Crescimanno. If you wish your abstract to be published in the APS bulletin, it must be submitted electronically.
 
 

The deadline for the receipt of all submitted abstracts is March 1, 2002 by 5:00 PM EST at APS headquarters.
