AHNS 10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE HAS BEEN POSTPONED

Dear AHNS Members, Faculty, Abstract Presenters and Meeting Attendees,

In light of the recent concerns about COVID-19 and the growing number of travel bans placed on both international and domestic colleagues, the AHNS Leadership has elected to postpone the AHNS 10th International Conference until July 22nd-25th 2021. This decision was made to preserve the health and safety of our attendees and patients.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS

We will release all submitted Oral and Poster submissions and re-open the Call For Abstracts in the Summer of 2020 if you would like to re-submit your abstract with or without updates or new research for consideration at the 2021 International Meeting.

We realize you’ve worked hard on your research and don’t want to delay disseminating the information for another year; therefore we encourage you to submit your manuscripts to JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery.

To be considered for inclusion in the journal’s AHNS Theme Issue, the manuscript must be submitted before May 26, 2020. Authors have the option to submit research reports as Original Investigations or shorter Research Letters. All papers submitted to the journal undergo thorough peer review and editorial decisions for acceptance for publication are based on the quality the manuscripts and the editorial priorities of the journal. Papers received by these deadlines or earlier will have the most favorable chances for success.

JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery papers can be submitted at:
http://manuscripts.jamaoto.com/cgi-bin/main.plex

All papers must be complete submissions according to the Journal’s Instructions for Authors.
