AZA NUTRITION ADVISORY GROUP GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS General Information on Submissions Each speaker is required to submit either a full scientific paper (including an abstract) or a extended abstract. Submissions will be published in the Proceedings, which is distributed to participants during the meeting. Membership in the NAG is not required for submission of manuscripts. The NAG invites professionals from many different scientific disciplines from throughout the world to submit papers. An author may submit more than one paper or extended abstract. A paper may not be presented by an individual other than one of the authors and any exception to this rule requires prior approval of the program chair. Material presented during the meeting must be based on the same information contained in the submitted manuscript. Manuscripts must consist of original material that has not been published previously in the scientific literature by the authors. English is the official language of the proceedings. Instructions to Authors 1. The deadline for submission of manuscripts to the program chair is June 15, 2007. 2. Manuscripts should be submitted in electronic form (disk or via email to award@fortworthzoo.org) in Word 6.0. 3. Submissions may be in the form of either a extended abstract or a full paper. An abstract must be included at the beginning of each full paper submission. 4. Outlines will not be accepted. Abstracts stating "data will be presented," or "subject will be discussed," will not be accepted. 5. Submissions should provide only relevant information. Your audience includes colleagues who may not be in attendance; therefore, critical information should be provided. Of particular interest are trade names and addresses of product manufacturers.
