1 GENERAL ACVIM PROCEEDINGS MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES 2009 ACVIM Forum & Canadian VMA Convention June 3 June 6, 2009 Montréal, Québec To: From: ACVIM Forum/Canadian VMA Convention Speakers Dr. Sheila McGuirk, Proceedings Co-Editor, mcguirks@svm.vetmed.wisc.edu Dr. Jeff Toll, Proceedings Co-Editor; jefft@aol.com Thank you for accepting the invitation to be a speaker at the 2009 ACVIM Forum/Canadian VMA Convention. We look forward to working with you to develop a proceedings that registrants will find useful during and after the meeting. We have summarized below several important matters that you need to consider in preparing and submitting your manuscripts and have also enclosed a sample manuscript with further information. Deadline: All proceedings manuscripts must be received by 11:59 pm MST on February 2, Manuscripts must be submitted electronically using the online submission form which will be posted on soon. Please direct any questions to: Jess Green ACVIM Forum Event Planner & Publications Manager Jess@ACVIM.org Phone: or (US and Canada only) Fax: If received after the deadline, your manuscript will not be accepted and you will not receive payment for it. Because of the importance placed on a quality proceedings, the Board of Regents has agreed that a presenter not submitting a manuscript will not be asked to speak at the next ACVIM Forum. Copyright Agreement: The author grants unlimited and nonexclusive copyright ownership of the materials contained in the submitted proceedings manuscript to the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM). Unlimited means that the author agrees that the ACVIM may use various modes of distribution, including online and CD-ROM electronic distribution formats. Nonexclusive means that the ACVIM grants to the author an unlimited right to the subsequent re-use of the submitted materials. The papers published in these Proceedings should be treated as personal communication and cited only as such with consent of the author. The ACVIM will take reasonable steps to assure access control to appropriate readers. The author agrees that the ACVIM may copy proof submissions but that editing will not change content or meaning. Submission Procedure: Proceedings manuscripts must be submitted electronically using the online submission form which will posted on soon. All proceedings manuscripts must be submitted by 11:59 pm MST on February 2, Occasionally images move, within a document, during electronic transmission. If you are concerned about placement of figures in your manuscript please fax a copy to Jess Green,

2 Content: Unless told otherwise, outlines are NOT acceptable. Any outline received will be returned for rewrite. If not corrected, it will not be published. Proceedings for case reviews or case discussions should contain sufficient case material and discussion of the case, so that it is understandable and helpful to individuals who do not attend the presentation. The ACVIM Forum is advertised as the leading edge in veterinary continuing education. Practitioners who choose to attend this meeting usually have excellent libraries and attend several CE events per year. They expect to be challenged! However, an ACVIM Forum registrant is able to attend less than 10% of the overall program. A manuscript not included in the proceedings is one of the biggest frustrations to the registrants. In addition, lectures that have been changed and no longer follow the published manuscripts are equally frustrating. Your manuscript must be useful to both those who attend and those who do not attend your presentation. Length: 3 pages per 50-minute session or 2 pages per 25-minute session (including figures and references, and printed on 8 ½ x 11 paper) is the maximum length allowed for manuscripts. If you have multiple presentations, you may borrow a full page(s) from one paper to lengthen another, provided your total pages conform to the guidelines. Manuscripts that exceed this limit are not acceptable and will be returned to you for rewrite! See the sample manuscript for more detailed formatting instructions. Initial Setup: Please set up your word processor to these initial settings. Base Font: 10 pt. Times (or Times New Roman) Reference Font: 8pt. Times (or Times New Roman) Line Height: Auto Line Space: Single Margins: Top.5 ; bottom.75 ; left.5 ; right.5 Tab Settings: Every.5 Justification: Left References: Proceedings MUST include a List of References. It is important to reference new information, but not general facts. References should be listed in string format at the end of the article, i.e., with one reference immediately following another on the same line, in 8 pt. font. Abbreviated information is preferred, e.g., first author followed by et.al.; No title; Abbreviated journal title, year, volume, and first page number. Example: 1 Madewell B, et.al. Vet Pathol 2001;38(6):698. Diagrams, Tables and Charts: Line drawings, charts and graphs are encouraged. Because the proceedings are being offered online, on CD-ROM, and in print, all illustration originals should be black and white and as sharp as possible. Unfortunately, no color or gray scale pictures such as photographs, radiographs, or ultrasound reproductions may be included. You must obtain and acknowledge permission for the use of copyrighted material. Previously published uncopyrighted material is not acceptable. Whenever possible, tables should be typed with the text of the article, not presented as an illustration. Title: Be certain that the title of your manuscript matches the title of the program you have given the ACVIM for the ACVIM Forum brochure, as well as the content of your presentation. Key Words: Please include 4-6 keywords (that do not already appear in the title) at the end of the manuscript. Keywords are subject to approval, and revision, by the editors. Keywords will be added to a keyword index before final publication and DO NOT count towards your final page count. Please see the MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION GUIDELINES IN SAMPLE FORM for more complete formatting rules (enclosed). Edits: The Proceedings Editors and the ACVIM Proceedings Coordinator may edit your manuscript. These edits will be primarily for obvious typographical errors. Major editorial and content changes will not be possible due to publication deadlines. If more extensive editing is deemed necessary, the manuscript will be returned to you for appropriate changes. Plan to send your manuscript camera ready. Authors will have an opportunity to approve the format of the manuscripts before the final version is sent to the printer. If you choose to do this, include your request along with your manuscript submission. A proof will be sent to you and you will have a short period of time to let us know if the formatting is correct. Content revision will not be allowed.

3 Concerns Regarding Prior Publication Rules: The American Veterinary Medical Association provided the following suggestions for proceedings articles based on unpublished data: Do not provide hard data, e.g., charts, graphs, etc. Do not structure the proceedings paper like a journal article. Avoid language describing statistical manipulation of data. Do not describe material and methods in detail. The portion of the proceedings paper that directly deals with a study yet to be published should be brief -- no more than ½ of a single spaced, typewritten page. If your presentation is primarily related to unpublished data that you plan to publish elsewhere, use the bulk of your paper to review known information and provide a short communication regarding your study. If you have any questions regarding your manuscript, please call the ACVIM office and speak with Jess Green. Please refer to the ACVIM Forum Program Grid available online available by early January to ascertain if all of your talks have been properly scheduled and to see that no conflicts exist. If you are also presenting a research abstract, which might conflict with your presentation, please notify Jess Green at Jess@ACVIM.org. For questions regarding audio-visual needs, ACVIM Forum brochure updates, and general ACVIM Forum speaker questions, contact Ruth Schoonover. The office numbers are or ; Fax , or Ruth@ACVIM.org. Again, we want to thank you for accepting the responsibility of being a speaker at the ACVIM Forum/Canadian VMA Convention. The ACVIM Forum has a reputation as a quality continuing education event. We feel certain that your contributions as a speaker and author will help us maintain this reputation and commitment to excellence.

4 MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION GUIDELINES IN SAMPLE FORM Great Speaker, DVM, DACVIM or Dr. Great Speaker Madison, WI INTRODUCTION These written instructions serve as a representative sample of how your finished paper should look when printed on your home or office printer. In this mailing are the general ACVIM manuscript guidelines. Although these instructions have been designed for your easy use, you may still have some questions as you proceed. Any initial questions concerning the subject matter of your paper, length of your paper, word processing program options, etc., should be referred to Jess Green at the ACVIM, Jess@ACVIM.org, or (US and Canada only). The ACVIM will be working directly from the electronic copy you submit. Your ability to follow the general guidelines and specific formatting will result in less conversion time by the ACVIM, as well as a more professional-looking Proceedings book, online publication, and CD-ROM. WORD PROCESSING PROGRAMS We strongly recommend the use of Microsoft Word (any version for Windows). Other Windows programs can be used; however, the conversion process will often cause changes or problems that will result in additional time and expense to the publication. If you have questions on software compatibility, please consult Jess Green at the ACVIM at the numbers listed above. FORMATTING INSTRUCTIONS Your assistance in following the styles and guidelines outlined for the following parts of your paper will help the ACVIM publish a more uniform looking book, on-line publication, and CD-ROM in the most cost-effective and timely manner possible. Manuscript Length There is a maximum of 3 pages per 50-minute session or 2 pages per 25-minute session (including figures and references). If you have multiple presentations, you may borrow a full page(s) from one paper to lengthen another, provided your total pages conform to the guidelines. These page lengths are based on 8½ x 11 paper. References are required. Initial Setup Please set up your word processor to these initial settings. Base Font: 10 pt. Times (or Times New Roman) Reference Font: 8 pt. Times (or Times New Roman) Line Height: Auto Line Space: Single Margins: Top.5 ; bottom.75 ; left.5 ; right.5 Tab Settings: Every.5 Justification: Left Your Paper s Title Begin your title at the top margin of your paper and type no more than three lines, centering each line. Use the base font already indicated (10 pt.), bold, in all caps. Be certain that the title of your manuscript matches the title of the program listed on the ACVIM Program Grid and matches the content of your presentation. You may verify your lecture title by accessing the ACVIM Program Grid on-line at Author/Byline Information Begin byline information directly under the title. Use bold, upper and lower case format, as shown above. Use one line only for all contributing authors. Begin with first name, middle initial, last name, degrees and special designations (DVM, Ph.D., DACVIM, DECVIM, etc.). Place the city and state abbreviation on the next line (primary author city and state only). Do NOT include street address, zip codes, departments, etc. These will be deleted for consistency. One blank line should follow the last author line before your first heading. Headings Headings should be all caps, bold and left justified as in this sample. Your first heading (i.e., INTRODUCTION ) should follow these same guidelines. Begin your content text indented on the next line. Subheads Subheads should be upper and lower case, bold, and left justified as shown here. Begin your content text indented on the next line. Begin the new paragraph directly below each subhead with the first line indented.

5 Body or Paragraphs Indent the first line of each new paragraph. Please do NOT use spaces or hanging indents; use the tab key to indent (.5"). Use left justification, letting the text wrap use no hard returns except when starting a new paragraph. Use the base font already indicated (10 pt.). Do NOT double space between paragraphs. Page Numbers Please do not number manuscript pages. Footnotes Footnotes are not allowed. Tables When possible, use a table editor or tabs to create tables. Please do NOT use spaces to align the columns of your table. Also, do NOT use the columns feature to create tables. Identify each table with a bold numeric reference and center it at the top of your table (i.e., Table 1). When possible the table data should be centered within the column. If there is not enough space left on the page to allow for your table, end your page prior to the table and continue on the next page. Table 1. Example of a Sample Table and the Table Caption Sample Description X Y Z Sample Test I Sample Test II Totals Graphics Most graphic file types can be supported: Embed each graphic in your document. Include a centered caption for the graphic and place it at the bottom of the graphic (i.e., Figure 1.). Use a Tab to indent after the Figure reference. Other Reminders Pertaining to Graphics Do not include color or grayscale graphics, photos, radiographs or ultrasound reproductions. Avoid graphics with dark backgrounds, as they do not reproduce well. Do not include color graphics, as they do not usually reproduce well. Submit black and white only. Be sure to type your caption in the body of your paper, as you want it to read. SAVING AND LABELING YOUR MANUSCRIPT FILE All proceedings manuscripts need to be saved in a Rich Text Format (.rtf). Files saved as Word Documents (.doc), or Word Perfect (.wpd) may lose some symbols in transmission. Name the file using the session number and speaker last name (i.e. 116Speaker.rtf). SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Proceedings manuscripts must be submitted electronically using the proceedings submission form which will be available at All proceedings manuscripts must be received by 11:59 pm MST, February 2, REFERENCES Proceedings MUST include a List of References. It is important to reference new information, but not general facts.
