Note on submitting AUGS/IUGA conference work to IUJ
For those authors whose abstracts have been accepted at the 2014 AUGS/IUGA Joint Scientific Meeting in Washington DC, you may submit a fast-track manuscript to the International Urogynecology Journal, the official journal of IUGA. This includes all podium and oral posters. These submissions will receive swift review from the editors of the IUJ to determine publication suitability.
All fast-tracked submissions must state on the submission cover page that the abstract has been accepted for presentation at the 2014 Joint Scientific Meeting.
This will ensure that the paper is sent to the correct reviewers. The full instructions for submitting to the IUJ are available here:
