Embargo Policy
All accepted abstracts submitted to the PFD Week are embargoed until the first day of the meeting. The first author is responsible for conveying this information to all co-authors.
Special Characters and Formatting
If you copy and paste the title and/or body of your submission from your word processor, special characters should transfer, but formatting will not transfer. You can insert special characters and/or formatting tags using the Special Characters Palette. To access the palette, click on the "Special Characters" button located on the Title/Body page.
Content Validity and Fair Balance
