MEETINGS

ACS program deadlines and topics Deadlines and topics for ACS meetings, spring 1991 (April 14-19, Atlanta), fall 1991 (Aug. 25-30, New York City) and later, and for national symposia organized by individual divisions and committees are listed on this and the following pages. The society bylaw governing presentation of papers appears below. ABSTRACT FORMS are available from all division secretaries, committee program chairmen, and from the Department of Meetings & Divisional Activities, ACS, 1155—16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Detailed instructions are included with the form. HANDBOOK FOR SPEAKERS, ACS Bulletin No. 8, also is available from this department. SOCIETY BYLAW GOVERNING PAPERS Bylaw VI, Sec. 6 governs presentation at society meetings. 1. The term paper shall include any presentation for which the title and authors are listed on the program and which may be reduced to writing either prior to, during, or subsequent to the meeting at which presented. 2. No paper shall be presented at a national, regional, divisional, or other major meeting unless its title appears on the program for the meeting. 3. No paper by a chemical scientist residing in the United States who is not a member of the Society shall appear on the program of a national, regional, divisional, or other major meeting of the Society unless it be a joint paper with one or more Society members, or unless for a

national, regional, or national-divisional meeting the author has been invited to present the paper at a symposium organized by a Division of the Society or by Sections of the Society, and the chairman of such Division or of the host Section has certified to the Executive Director of the Society prior to publication of the program that presentation by the author of such paper is important to the success of the symposium. 4. Rules c o r r e s p o n d i n g to paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of this section for a cooperative meeting shall be subject to agreement in advance between the organizations concerned but should conform, insofar as possible, to this Bylaw and be subject to approval by the Executive Director of the Society. 5. The Society assumes no responsibility for the statements or opinions expressed by individuals in papers or discussions thereof. 6. The president shall have authority to exclude any paper from a program at any time prior to its scheduled presentation at a meeting of the society. Regulation VIII, No. 3 supplements Bylaw VI., Sec. 6 as follows: (a) Authorship of papers shall be accredited only to individuals and not to companies or laboratories. (b) Therapeutic Papers. It is the policy of the Society to encourage the presentation of chemical papers with pharmacological and physiological aspects but to discourage presentation, by other than qualified clinical investigators, of papers in which clinical interpretations are the principal contribution. All Divisions are

requested to a d h e r e to this policy when determining the acceptability of papers for their meeting programs. The Divisions also are urged to exclude from their programs, and especially from any abstracts issued, statements recommending procedure for the treatment of human disease or announcement of any "cures" not confirmed by competent medical authority. Any author contributing a paper that includes discussion of the treatment of human disease must submit for review, by representatives of the appropriate Division, a complete manuscript in addition to an abstract. Notes. Submission of papers for presentation at an ACS meeting does not constitute submission for publication in an ACS journal. Regulations for the acceptance of papers to be presented as part of divisional meetings vary for each division. However, publication of papers in ACS journals is based upon the earliest date of receipt of the complete paper by the appropriate editor. The council has empowered officers of divisions to request any paper in advance, so that it may be passed upon and an indication made to the author as to whether he or she is to read the entire paper or to abstract it to allow time for discussion. Special attention should be given to the misuse of tradenames, secret formulas, or secret processes in papers at national meetings of the Society. It is requested that authors avoid the use of tradenames in papers presented at ACS meetings. Chairmen are responsible for enforcing this policy.

Few people are aware of the tremendous amount of time and effort involved in putting programs together. Program chairmen need a minimum of 30 days prior to the deadline for receipt of preliminary

program material at ACS headquarters to facilitate program scheduling. Incidentally, it's already too late for the Washington, D.C. (fall 1990) meeting. PLEASE OBSERVE THE DEADLINES that are fast approaching for the Atlanta (spring 1991) meeting.

Revised Program Deadlines for Atlanta and New York City Meetings Program chairmen please note. The committees on Meetings & Expositions and Divisional Activities have approved a change in the format for the preliminary and final programs for ACS meetings. This begins with the Atlanta 1991 meeting. This change was instituted to bring the deadlines for submitting programs to the meetings department one month closer to the meeting dates. This should enable you to shorten your own deadlines for abstracts by at least this much. The membership has long registered its concern with the early deadlines. Meeting
