Requirements


INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACT PREPARATION


The extended abstract should be no more than 1500 words in length, including figures, tables, and references. The abstract should include a title with name(s) and organization(s) of author(s) followed by sections containing an introduction, the main body of text, concluding remarks, acknowledgments, and references. It should be prepared double-spaced on 8.5 x 11 in. paper (or A4 paper) using one side of the sheet only with 1-inch (or 25-millimeter) margins. Use 12-point Times font. Figures and tables should be submitted separately from text. Indicate the approximate locations of illustrations in the margin. A 2.5 x 2.5 in. standard diagram in the book is equivalent to 80 words, and a full width 2.5-inch figure counts as about 160 words. Please include one set of illustrations suitable for reproduction. Original illustrations should not be larger than 6.5 x 8 in. or less than 1.5 x 1.5 in. The quality of labeling, line thickness, and other details should be suitable for archival publication, and any photographs must be supplied as glossy prints (negatives and slides are not acceptable). Use a minimum amount of text within the illustrations; the figure captions can be extensive giving those details. Provide a separate list of figure captions, with figure numbers. The above apply for tables as well. All references should be extensive, i.e., containing the full list of authors, year, publication title, full journal title, volume, issue, pages (for journals); year, book title, place, publisher (for books).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FULL MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION


The full manuscript should be no more than 6000 words in length, including figures, tables, and references. The manuscript should include a title with name(s) and organization(s) of author(s) and an abstract of 150 to 200 words followed by sections containing an introduction, the main body of text, concluding remarks, acknowledgments, and references.

All other requirements are the same as for extended abstract preparation (see above).
