Abstract revision and withdrawal policy
The submission process includes a step where the primary author can view the abstract as it will appear in the program/Journal of Biological Chemistry.
After the abstract has been successfully submitted, any change to the abstract title, body, authors and/or institutional affiliations must be submitted on the abstract submission system.
Common mistakes include:
- Duplicating the title, authors and/or institutions within the abstract body
- Omission of author(s)
- Omission of funding source(s)
- Incorrect institutional affiliation(s)
- Typographical errors such as transposing letters in common words
- Incorrect data used in abstract text or tables
- Incorrect special characters such as Greek text or mathematical symbols
