Instructions for Preparation of Abstracts

2015 Western New York

ACS Undergraduate Research Symposium

The accompanying abstract template may be used to prepare your abstract for submission to the symposium. Use of this template, with a word-processing program such as Microsoft Word, is a benefit to the author in that the entire abstract (text, tables, and graphics) may be submitted in one file.

Using the template

  1. In typing your manuscript directly into the template, select (highlight) the formatted text of the template that you want to replace and begin typing your manuscript (i.e., select the Title section for typing in your title).
  2. To insert graphics within the text or as a figure, chart, scheme, or table, create a new line and insert the graphic where desired. If your graphic is not visible, ensure that the Word Style is “Normal” with an automatic height adjustment. If the size of the artwork needs to be adjusted, re-size the artwork in your graphics program and re-paste the artwork into the template. Please keep the size of pasted graphics under 1 MB so the abstract remains manageable.
  3. Delete all sections from the template that are not needed.
  4. Save the file with the graphics in place: select Save As (File menu) and save it as a Word document file (.doc or .docx).
  5. Proof a printout of the abstract to ensure that all parts of the document are present and clearly legible.
  6. Send the Word document file as an attachment with your registration form by e-mail to by the specified deadline.
