The deadline for abstracts is February 1, 2006. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed. Authors will be notified by March 2006 of abstract acceptance. Authors of accepted abstracts are expected to submit manuscripts and make oral presentations.

The deadline for accepted manuscripts is December 15, 2006.

Materials from accepted presentations will be published as the Proceedings of the Tenth American Woodcock Symposium. All manuscripts submitted for oral presentations will be peer-reviewed, refereed, and published in book chapter format. Hardbound proceedings will be available at the symposium.
