Instructions for Authors and Presenters

Your presentation is scheduled for 12 minutes, which includes 7 minutes of content and 5 minutes of audience questions.  Our agenda is very full, so we must insist that your contribution fit within the allotted time.

Please accept/decline the invitation to present your abstract via email on or before Tuesday, January 1 - and confirm which of the submitting authors will be presenting at the Summit.  As a token of appreciation, submitting authors are eligible for a 10% discount on registration fee.  Please contact SarahAnn Whitbeck (sarahann@cwisociety.org) to obtain the online code.

To ensure timely transition between presenters, all presentations must be loaded on the main computer in advance of the session.  There will be a standard CWIS-branded PowerPoint template provided soon, which presenters are encouraged to use.

CWIS and the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery are partnering to reserve space within an upcoming inaugural "CWIS Issue" of the journal, in which five manuscripts from our 2019 Summit will be given priority for publication.  To be eligible for selection, a formal manuscript is required and is due on Friday, March 15.  It is our hope and expectation that all scientific presenters will choose to submit manuscripts.  Details regarding manuscript specifications are available below.

Additionally, submitting authors are required to complete the following:

  • Faculty accreditation documentation online: please click here.   This documentation must be submitted no later than Monday, January 7.  (If you have already completed due to another presentation at the 2019 Summit, please disregard)

Manuscript Preparation & Details

CWIS is excited to partner with the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery - and is looking forward to this opportunity for our CWISummit scientific abstract presenters to be part of our first issue.  To be eligible for selection, a formal manuscript is required and is due on Friday, March 15.  It is our hope and expectation that all scientific presenters will choose to submit manuscripts.

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery has specific instructions and guidelines for submitting articles. Please read and review them carefully. Articles that are not submitted in accordance with their instructions and guidelines are more likely to be rejected.

Please note - the initial CWISummit submission form was limited to two authors for administrative simplicity, however, you can have unlimited authorship for the JTACS manuscript submission.  Please tailor your submission as needed/desired.
