2024 ANPA LATE-BREAKING SUBMISSION PLATFORM
Keys to successful abstract submission
- The deadline to submit abstracts to the 34th Annual Meeting is January 25, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST. Abstracts submitted after this time will not be considered for presentation or for publication in The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences.
- About Encore Abstracts: The Program Committee of the American Neuropsychiatric Association (ANPA) will accept submission of abstracts of previously presented and published works, including previously published abstracts. All abstracts accepted for presentation at the ANPA meeting will be featured in a subsequent issue of ANPA’s official journal, the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences. Thus, in addition to submitting abstracts that adhere to formatting specifications and a 250-word limit, authors electing to submit previously published abstracts are responsible for ensuring that submission to ANPA adheres to the copyright policy and use provisions of the prior publisher.
- Abstract submissions not adhering to the guidelines provided in the General Format Guidelines and following the structure relevant to the type of abstract submitted (i.e., Research Report or Clinical Case Report) will be returned unreviewed to the corresponding author for correction and resubmission.
