Oral and poster presentations
The invited guest speakers will be allocated a maximum of 30 minutes
(20 minutes talk, 10 minutes discussion). Other oral
presentations will be allocated 20 minutes (15 minutes talk, 5 minutes
discussion). Poster presentations are welcome, and the organisers
reserve the right to allocate you a poster presentation instead of an
oral presentation, depending upon response to the call for papers and
in the interests of a balanced programme. There will be a
dedicated poster session, with presenters able to give a very brief
outline of their work during an informal walk around the poster
displays.
If you wish to present a paper, it is MOST IMPORTANT that you advise ANISG Chairman Peter Flinn by e-mail (kelspec@bigpond.com) BY NO LATER THAN 31st JANUARY 2008, including the title of the paper and your preferred method of presentation (see registration form).
Guidelines for preparing papers
Papers must be
prepared according to the following instructions. Please also
refer to the example included for the format required.
PRIOR
TO PUBLICATION, ALL PAPERS WILL BE REVIEWED AND EDITED FOR UNIFORMITY
OF PRESENTATION USING THE COMPUTER FILE THAT YOU PROVIDE BY E-MAIL.
AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS
-
It is ANISG policy and tradition to provide each delegate with a book
of short papers at the conference. No proceedings will be
published. The full text of some invited papers may be included
in the "Overtones" newsletter. Contributed papers should comprise, but not exceed, one A4 page in length and may contain figures, diagrams and references.
-
Prepare the paper in Microsoft Word (Office 97 or later version), and follow the specific instructions below:
Page setup and font:
Set ‘page setup’ of Microsoft Word to ‘A4’
paper size, leaving a margin of 2.5 cm (one inch) all round. Use
‘Times New Roman’, 12 point throughout.
Start at the top of the page with the title centred IN BOLD CAPITALS,
followed by two spaces, then the authors' names (preceded by initials)
centred. Leave one space, and type the authors' addresses left
justified, indicating addresses for multiple authors by superscripted
numbers (1,2,…). Leave two spaces and commence the text in single spacing, justified on both left and right sides, with no indent at the start of a paragraph. Leave a line between paragraphs. Use English, not US spelling.
Suppress page numbering on the electronic copy.
Within the text, provide headings in BOLD CAPITALS, left justified, and secondary headings in lower-case bold italics, also left justified.
Figures:
Graphs and photographs can be included. Either include them in
the text file, or provide copies of appropriate size to match spaces in
the text for them. However, note that coloured photographs,
graphs and figures may not reproduce satisfactorily. In
particular, avoid shaded backgrounds for graphs and figures.
Where production difficulties are encountered with these, the editors
will adopt alternatives such as descriptive text to communicate the
information in them.
References:
Indicate references in the text as ‘Smith and Jones (1998)’
or ‘(Smith and Jones, 1998)’, and list references
alphabetically at the end of the paper under the title REFERENCES, in the form of: Smith, A., and Jones, B. (1998) Abbreviated Journal Name, volume number, first and last page numbers.
PLEASE NOTE: We require a short paper summarising the work done, or in progress. It is not acceptable to merely provide a paragraph stating that something “will be presented”!
Enquiries: A sample paper is attached.
Further information can be obtained from ANISG secretary Graeme Batten,

YOUR PAPER MUST BE SUBMITTED, TOGETHER WITH YOUR REGISTRATION, NO LATER THAN 7TH MARCH 2008.
For the
first time, ANISG will also present two poster prizes at this
conference – one which is open to all delegates, and the other
open only to students, but where the student is the senior and
presenting author. Judging criteria will take into account
scientific rigour, originality and presentation. Each prize will
include a certificate and a small gift.
