2008 BASES Annual Conference Abstract Submission Steps

Step 1. Read the 2008 BASES Annual Conference Abstract Submission Guidelines

• These guidelines contain important information about rules for abstract submission, abstract layout and format.
• Example abstracts are also provided.
• Abstracts must not exceed 400 words.
• Please note that abstracts not complying with these guidelines will not be reviewed.

Step 2. Download the Abstract Submission Template

• This template allows the abstract review committee to 'hide' authors' names and institution names to ensure blind refereeing.
• Please note that abstracts that are not submitted using this template will not be reviewed.

Step 3. If submitting a Scientific Communication or Symposium, then complete the Taylor & Francis Agreement for the Transfer of Copyright

• All Scientific Communication or Symposium abstracts that wish to be considered will be considered for publication in the Journal of Sports Sciences need to have a signed agreement for the transfer of copyright. This enables Taylor & Francis to ensure protection against infringement.
• Transfer of copyright forms are not required for Applied Practice Presentations, Debates or Workshops abstracts as these are not considered for publication in the Journal of Sports Sciences.
• Signed agreements need to be received by 25th April 2008. Fax to + 44 (0)1895 269769 or post to: BASES Conference Office, Heinz Wolff Building, Brunel University, Kingston Lane, Uxbridge, Middx. UB8 3PH.

Step 4. Submit your abstract via the on-line abstract submission form

• The on-line submission form available from 1 April 2008.
