Abstract Submission
Abstract Submission Deadline: Friday, June 2, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. United States Eastern Daylight Saving Time.
Here are instructions for abstract submission.
Visit http://abstracts.aps.org
Click on the blue "Submit an Abstract" button
Select the radio button for "70th Annual Gaseous Electronics Conference"
Before you start:
Know the number and the order of authors
Proofread abstract
Check abstract length
Note sorting category or focus topic
Choose RTF (MS Word) or LaTeX format
Intend to present at the meeting
To withdraw a submitted abstract, you'll need:
Abstract log number
Email address
Contributed papers may be given orally in a 15-minute timeslot (12 minutes for presentation and 3 minutes for questions) or as a poster. For either mode, authors must submit an abstract, which succinctly identifies the problem, describes the approach, and summarizes the status or result of the completed or intended intellectual contribution.
Contributors must submit abstracts using the American Physical Society (APS) online web submission process at http://abs.aps.org/.
To submit an abstract, you must (1) use the GEC sorting category list when submitting (see sorting categories below), (2) know the correct ordering of authors and collaborators, and (3) submit abstract content. The website will ask you for an APS membership number. If you are not an APS member you can type “GEC abstract” in the member ID box when submitting.

The web page will guide you through the submission process. We strongly recommend that you proofread your formatted abstract before submission. This is done by logging onto http://abs.aps.org/ and selecting the meeting “TEST.” When you are ready to submit your abstract, select the GEC2017 meeting button. Submit your abstract information when prompted. If you encounter problems during the abstract submission process, please contact the APS Abstract Help-Line.
Oral And Poster Session Sorting Categories
The Executive Committee solicits contributed oral and poster presentations on the wide range of topics typically addressed at the GEC. The abstract sorting categories are listed below; but you may always contact the local secretary or an Executive Committee member for assistance if you have difficulty choosing the category which best fits your work.
