The font should be 10 point Times New Roman. The abstract title should be bold and centered at the top of the page. The names of all authors should be in caps and lower case, followed by their addresses in caps and lower case. Both author names and addresses should be centered. First level titles should be all caps; second level titles should be caps and lower case. Please refer to the template for exact placement.
The abstract file MUST include the title, authors, and affiliations. That information will NOT be extracted from the electronic submission form.
PDF File Submission
We ask that you submit your abstract file in PDF format. This will give you more control over the quality of your published abstract. Be sure to set your preferences to embed the fonts in the document. If you are unable to comply with this request to submit your abstract file in PDF format, please call Kellie Hoffpauir at 281-244-2011 or e-mail info@dsls.usra.edu for further information.
Abstract Template
Download the sample abstract and using the format illustrated in the sample, prepare your abstract for submission. YOU are responsible for the formatting and appearance of your abstract. Figures and tables must be in digital format and placed in the file. We recommend that you use image file formats that provide acceptable resolution without being overly large; i.e., please use a 700 KB GIF file rather than a 2-MB TIFF file. Hard copy line drawings AND photographs can be easily converted to high quality digital format using ordinary flatbed scanners and accompanying software.
Paper Size
Please set up your source file so that your submitted abstract is formatted for U.S. letter size (8.5 by 11 inches.)
Fonts
Please use Times New Roman for text; Symbol for mathematical symbols and Greek letters.
