NORA Symposium 2008: Public Market for Ideas and Partnerships

Information for Authors

Author Responsibilities

NIOSH will print a 4'x4' or your accepted poster and display it during the Symposium. Authors attending the Symposium in Denver should not bring their own version of the poster with them, but they may take the NIOSH-printed poster after the Symposium, if they want it. Authors who attend the Symposium will be expected to attend their poster for one hour during the afternoon poster session, collect comment cards at the end of the session, and respond to each commenter within a few days (unless the comment was anonymous). For posters with no author in attendance at the Symposium, NIOSH will collect the comment cards and send them to you with a request to respond to commenters who provided contact information within a few days.

All corresponding authors will be expected to be available during the virtual conference from July 30 to August 12 to monitor their E-mail to receive comments forwarded by NIOSH from on-line poster viewers. An author should respond to each comment within a few days. Authors are encouraged to submit an initial response through the virtual conference website in order to encourage others to join the public discussion. All comments received by NIOSH from poster viewers and authors that are suitable for public display will be displayed on the virtual conference website.

The continuation of discussions between individual authors and poster viewers beyond the initial exchange of a comment and response is at the discretion of those involved. The capability for information exchange through the virtual conference website will be maintained for several weeks following the formal end of the virtual conference on August 12, in case some viewers and authors decide to continue using that public forum.

At each stage, the corresponding author commits to keeping all co-authors as informed and involved as is practical.

Please contact Tanya Headley at theadley@cdc.gov or 304-285-6278 if you have questions.
