Ooops - my bad. It's due this Tuesday, 5/15 by 5 PM EDT (http://www.sfn.org/am2007/? pagename=call_for_abstracts). Got my wires crossed with another meeting submission I'm working. I'd also add the last 8 hours of submission time tend to be a really big problem. SfN in the past hasn't paid nearly enough for the hosting service they use. There are ~15K presentations for 30K of participants at a typical SfN annual meeting. You can imagine the sort of last minute crunch that can cause. Last year, when trying to login in to the abstract submission system on the last day (two phase login to actually get to the content management/editing system), each phase of the login could take > 20 minutes to return when you clicked on it, if it didn't time out altogether. Here are: rules for submission http://www.sfn.org/am2007/index.cfm?pagename=rules_for_submission submission instructions http://www.sfn.org/am2007/index.cfm?pagename=submission_instructions Here's a new comment they've added this year to author submission instructions: "We strongly suggest that you enter the submission site and begin your submission well in advance of the deadline. The submission process is very detailed and requires the entry of very specific information (including email addresses of co-authors and their conflict of disclosure information). The primary cause of error in abstract submission occurs when the user is not familiar with the submission site and must rush to submit the work on the last day that the site is open." This means we're really going to have to resolve authorship on Monday. I hope that's not impractical.
