Anyone making an oral or poster presentation is invited to submit a manuscript to be considered for publication in the peer-reviewed proceedings. The deadline for the first submission of the manuscript was fixed on 15 October 2004.
Manuscripts based on meeting presentations must meet both the scientific standards and the submission schedule in order to be accepted for publication. Note: The papers must be based on, and address the subject of, the meeting presentation, but need NOT to have exactly the same title, co-authors, or abstract
Manuscripts should not normally exceed 10 printed pages (approximately 7000 words) including all figures, tables, and references. Manuscripts should follow the Coral Reefs format unless otherwise mentioned
For the first submission of the manuscript, prepare one paper copy of the manuscript plus a computer file on diskette or CD. The complete manuscript, including tables and figures, should be saved as a single MS-Word or PDF file. Be careful that the manuscript must be outputted in the form of double spaces and of single column. Standardized file name consisting of mini-symposium number, family name, and means of presentation ("o" for oral and "p" for poster) like "5-10_NAKAMORI-o.doc" should be used. Please include a cover letter suggesting reviewers.
Authors should submit the manuscript and the electric files to the Secretariat for the 10th ICRS (address below), not to the convener(s), by 15 October 2004.
Authors will be notified by the editor of your manuscript (one of conveners of the mini-symposia) about the results of review by early January. Revised manuscripts should be sent to the editor of your manuscript (convener) before 28 February 2005. Final decision of the acceptance will be made by the convener(s).
After the acceptance, final copy must be prepared in accordance with the PDF template available on the 10ICRS web page (http://www.plando.co.jp/icrs2004: Instructions for Proceedings authors, 10ICRS paper template), and should be sent to the convener by 30 April 2005. Final copy and electronic files on diskette or CD should be mailed to the Secretariat for the 10th ICRS (address below) before 31 May 2005 from the convener(s). Please follow the same naming rule for the electric files as in the first submission. The final version of the manuscripts should be submitted in PDF files. MS-Word files with notifications on computer system and version of MS-Word can be also used if you do not have Acrobat PDF Writer.
Please ask the Secretariat for the 10th ICRS, if you have any question about schedule or procedure for writing the Proceedings manuscript. |
