AACR-KCA Policy on Disclosure of the Structure of Chemical Compounds

Disclosure of complete chemical structures of compounds used in the conduct of research is essential for the comprehensive scientific assessment of proffered papers and ensuring high-quality scientific presentations at AACR-KCA meetings.

Chemical compounds are defined as low molecular weight (generally <1000g/mol) organic or inorganic molecules, peptides, or proteins/nucleic acids co-crystallized with low molecular weight molecules.

At the time of abstract submission, the submitting author is required to state whether chemical compounds were used in the scientific work to generate the data in the proffered paper. If so, the corresponding author is further required to indicate whether the complete chemical structures of the compounds used will be disclosed at the time of presentation at the meeting. The chemical structures are not required to be included at the time of abstract submission; rather, indication of the intent to disclose any such structures at the time of presentation is required.

The Abstract Review Committee will then evaluate the information provided by the submitting author and determine the acceptability of the proffered paper for presentation.
