MANUSCRIPT REQUIREMENTS

All accepted Oral Presentations are REQUIRED to submit a manuscript to the AHNS-affiliated journal, JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery by April 7, 2018, via the journal’s web-based manuscript submission system (see below). Please note that this deadline precedes the start of the meeting by 11 days.

ORAL PRESENTERS WHO FAIL TO SUBMIT A MANUSCRIPT TO THE JOURNAL BY April 7, 2018 WILL FORFEIT YOUR PRIVILEGE TO PRESENT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING FOR THE SUBSEQUENT TWO ANNUAL MEETINGS. This Policy is firmly enforced and will take effect immediately.

Authors of abstracts selected for Poster Presentation are encouraged to submit a manuscript to JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, but it is not required. To be considered for inclusion in the journal’s AHNS Theme Issue, the manuscript must be submitted before July 15, 2018. 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 will have the most favorable chances for success.

A few select research papers, both Oral and Poster may also be considered for simultaneous publication with presentation during the AHNS meeting. All such papers must be submitted electronically to the journal by Wednesday, February 7, 2018.

JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery papers can be submitted at:

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

Instructions for JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery are available at:

Authors of abstracts selected for Oral Presentation may request a waiver from submitting a manuscript to JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, but all requests must be submitted no later than January 21, 2018 in writing to the AHNS Publications Committee via the link in your presentation acceptance letter. All decisions regarding waivers will be made by the Publications Committee; authors whose requests are declined will need to withdraw their Oral Presentation if they do not plan to submit a manuscript to JAMA Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery by the April 7, 2018 deadline.
