Select 2014 Northeast Weed Science Society and click 'Add'.  Now click the green 'Enter' button that will appear next to 2014 NEWSS.  Click 'My Titles and Abstracts' and then 'Add Title/Abstract'.  Enter title using WSSA approved common names for crops and weeds (hover cursor over green question mark for formatting hints).  Choose Poster or Oral presentation.  If an Oral presentation, select your preferences for paper section (e.g. Agronomy, Ornamentals, Biology and Ecology, etc.).  Students wishing to compete in the oral competition should select Student Presentations as your 1st Section choice.  Students that are presenting papers but do NOT wish to be in the competition should NOT choose Student Presentations section but other appropriate sections.  If competing in either the Oral or Poster student competition, choose 'yes' paper is to be judged.
Authors from 2013 have been carried forward to 2014.  Add the applicable authors from the drop-down list or click 'new author' to enter information for any author not already listed.  Select the blue box next to the author that will be presenting the paper and use the green arrows to adjust the order the authors are listed if needed.
Once you have double-checked your information, click 'Save'.  The submitter and presenter should both receive a confirmation email that your title has been received.
