2008 Memorial Award $1,000 Honorarium

Abstract Submission Deadline is October 5, 2007, 12:00 pm (noon) Central Time
Manuscript Submission deadline is January 7, 2008
Both an abstract and manuscript must be submitted to be eligible for the award.

In honor of deceased members of the Association of University Radiologists (AUR), a Memorial Award may be presented annually to the radiology medical student, resident or first year fellow who submits an outstanding original paper on any aspect of radiology. Eligible medical students, residents, or fellows may submit as the sole author of their paper, or they may do so in conjunction with other medical students, residents, or fellows and/or faculty. In the latter case, the medical student, resident or fellow must fully qualify as the senior author of the paper. Only AUR members are eligible for this award.

The winning paper will be published in Academic Radiology, and the author will receive a $1,000 honorarium, crystal award and certificate, and will be asked to present his or her essay during the AUR 56th Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington, March 25-29, 2008. Note: All papers submitted for the award will be forwarded to the journal office of Academic Radiology for possible publication.

Manuscripts submitted for the Memorial Award Competition must be a first-time submission, cannot be simultaneously under consideration for publication or award elsewhere, and cannot be scheduled for presentation before the 2008 AUR Annual Meeting. Papers should not exceed 5,000 words and 10 illustrations, and tables must be kept within reasonable bounds. Otherwise, manuscripts should conform in all respects to the "Guidelines for Authors" found in Academic Radiology.

Abstracts of manuscripts must also be submitted separately for consideration of presentation during the scientific sessions of the AUR meeting. Abstracts must adhere to the abstract deadline of October 5, 2007, 12:00 pm (noon) Central time and will undergo the same peer review process as other abstracts.

Submissions of the manuscript for the Memorial Award should be made through the ACADEMIC RADIOLOGY online, electronic submission system.

By accessing the website http://ees.elsevier.com/arad authors will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of the various files. When submitting a manuscript to the Elsevier Editorial System, authors need to provide an electronic version of their manuscript. For this purpose original source files, not PDF files, are required and should be submitted as word documents with .tif figures (300 DPI for half-tones and 800-1200 DPI for line-art). The author should specify the category designation for the manuscript of Memorial Award, and choose a set of classifications from the prescribed list provided online. Authors may send queries concerning the submission process, manuscript status, or journal procedures to the Editorial Office. Once the submission files are uploaded, the system automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used for reviewing. All correspondence will be by e-mail.

The winner of the 2008 Memorial Award will be notified in February 2008.
