After your manuscript is complete and formatted correctly, click on the “New Submission” button at the bottom of the page. Do NOT start a new submission until your manuscript is complete!
PLEASE NOTE: When submitting your manuscript, you will be asked to provide an “Interpretive Summary” and keywords. These are not part of the manuscript. However, they are required for submission. See the instructions to authors for details.
Submission Deadlines
The deadline for manuscripts is SEPTEMBER 30, 2023, to allow enough time to review all the submissions and assemble and print the proceedings prior to the conference.
Review Process
All submitted manuscripts will be evaluated by a review committee to ensure the subject matter aligns with NMC’s goals/objectives and the information presented follows guidelines set forth in the instructions to authors.
Be sure to follow the instructions to authors carefully; failure to do so may result in rejection. Manuscripts that are not accepted may not be revised and/or re-submitted.
Commercialism Policy
The intent of the Technology Transfer Session and Research and Development Summaries Session is to provide quality sessions focused on educational content, which is free from commercial influence or bias. Manuscripts and posters are not to be used as platforms for commercial sales, promotions and/or advertising. Excessive use of brand names, product names, trade names and/or trademarks is not allowed. Excessive use of brand names, product names or logos, failure to substantiate performance claims and failure to objectively discuss alternative methods, processes and equipment are indicators of sales pitches. Restricting commercialism benefits both the authors and recipients of submissions and presentations. A general guideline is to use proprietary names once and thereafter use generic descriptors or neutral designations. In addition, trade names should not be used in the title.
If ANY author(s) is affiliated with a company, NMC will charge that company $100 (per poster/paper).
Attendance Policy
If a manuscript is accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the 2024 NMC Annual Meeting – in person – to present the poster. (Authors may not be added to papers after the manuscript has been accepted.) The presenting author must register for the meeting in advance of the print deadline (December 15, 2023) for the proceedings. If the presenting author is not registered for the meeting by the deadline, the abstract will not be published in the proceedings. In addition, the abstract will be removed from the program and will no longer be available for presentation at the meeting.
