Last updated: 2015.07.03
The abstracts will be published exactly as submitted. It is the responsibility of the submitting author to supply the abstract with accuracy of content, spelling and presentation. Please note that no modifications can be made after 12 noon (JST) on July 1, 2015.
- Character count limit
3,292 characters (including title, author names, affiliation abbreviations, and keywords)
Double-count the title, author names and affiliation abbreviations because those items will appear twice in the Meeting Abstracts.
- Title of presentation
Avoid any abbreviation in the title. Do not put a period at the end.
(Only first letter capital and lowercase for the rest, except for words normally capitalized as proper nouns)
e.g.) Heat-shock transformation of <i>Escherichia coli</i>
- Author names
Enter surname of each author first, followed by first name and middle name (if any), for the indexing purpose, with only the first letter capitalized.
e.g.) Seibutsu Taro

- Speaker's email address
Avoid using Yahoo addresses. Email notifications sent from the system are often marked as spam by Yahoo that has powerful spam filters. Speakers will be informed of their presentation number with its schedule and place by email in the middle of June.
- Remarks
Specify special characters (if any) so that non standard characters can be printed correctly in the Meeting Abstracts.
If there are more than 20 authors, the rest of the authors' information (surnames, given names and affiliations) can be provided in this field.
